a bunch of thoughts came to me all throughout today and especially as i was leaving a callout. so, i figured since it's been some time and i probably won't survive not throwing my opinion around, i created this. voila. a new blog post.
in less then a month, i will have reached the age of 20. no more teens, no more stressing over teenage pregnancy, i will be a full-fledged man-child. which in all honesty makes you think. you look back on your childhood, your decisions, your mistakes. and it leaves you wondering what kind of person you have become and where you will be in the future.
well firstly, i know exactly what kind of person i am. i know what i value: honesty, loyalty, optimism, etc. i also know that deep down i have some faults. i'm a worrier, i tend to wear facades of arrogance in situations, i'm indecisive about my feelings. but regardless of how many times i make mistakes, i know the difference between right and wrong. that is what i was taught. i'm not entirely sure whether or not it's beneficial that i am this mature at this age, but so far it seems to be a positive.
which brings me to one of my points. i find people today, all people of all ages, to be so much less mature than they ought to be. i find people doing so many stupid things that just irritate me and leave me completely hopeless for them and every one they encounter. and it's not just college kids who like to draw penises on cars covered with snow. it's high schoolers and adults, and it's not only ridiculous, it's scary. the kid that shouts obscenities for the amusement of a few idiot friends is the symbol of the future. i feel so old saying this but i cannot help but feel it's true. there is not respect let in anyone. America stands for a country that encourages individualism; be your own person and we won't judge you. but when did individualistic become selfish? when did "being yourself" become "being the only one that matters?" the answers to these questions are ones that i do not know.
maybe life isn't as bad as it seems. maybe it is. all i know is that a world in which teenagers no older than 17 can run rampant through the city doing whatever they please as spoiled and selfish brats is a bad one. it would appear that the immature epidemic is not only affecting the children, but also the parents. but then people are becoming parents at younger and younger ages. they are still essentially children. the cycle continues and more ignorant, immature lives are lived, teaching others their demented views of reality.
there is only so much a blog post can do. but my views aren't exactly rare. just not so-often voiced.
goodnight and good luck.
:)
