Stop Cryingggggggg


I hope that one day everyone would be their own person completely, that self-confidence would be the new "fad" instead of drugs and eating disorders. I want the new populous of children/teenagers to look up to admirable figures rather than the "entertainment" they are exposed to, such as Hannah Montana, Ke$ha, and the Jersey Shore.

There's nothing wrong with being the kid who likes Dungeons & Dragons, the kid who waits on the computer to find out news for an upcoming video game, the kid who'd rather hang out with friends instead of partying. There's nothing wrong with partying if that's who you are - I'm just tired of seeing or hearing about people who are fake in order to keep up appearances. The only person they end up hurting is themselves, because you'll lose your identity in pursuit of something you can never be. You can't deny who you are - it comes out in the quirks and eccentricities that make each and every one of us ultimately unique.

We are all unique, which in a way, you would think would make us not unique, but for each personality type there are unlimited types of attributes. Embracing that and all that makes us different will bring us happiness, especially if we realize that maybe we're not that different after all =)

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this; that love, true love never dies. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in." (The Five People You Meet In Heaven)

  1. So true. It worries me to hear about people falling head over heels about Jersey Shore, or Justin Bieber. That some ugly chick named Snooki makes bigger news than someone doing something beneficial for society. It's difficult to think that this isn't going to come back to bite us in the ass.

    Btw, I'm pretty much that kid you described. Except for the D&D, though I've thought about it a couple times.

    DON'T YOU JUDGE ME!
