Being a teenager
A few days ago, I had the pleasure to wake up and think differently. It felt like all of the sudden my mentality shifted and all that I believed before and all that I didn't belive in didn't make sense.
I realized over these past few days that most of my friends are pricks and jerks, and I can't say that I'm not one too.
The people who I once thought were cool now get on my nerves and also got me wondering why I was their friend in the first place,why I tried so hard to get along with people who had no interest in me ,why I bothered to ever try to get on their good side and ofcourse why I tried so hard for something
unachievable.
I always believed that I would never change, that I would stay the same until adulthood, but now that reality has hit me with the fact that I am one in 8 billion people and that the world isn't just familly and friends. I have begun wondering what the future holds in store for me.
I could even describe myself as 'lonely' deep on the inside, what I yearn for is company, understanding and support, yet I feel so distant from the 'friends' I enjoy being around, feeling often ignored.
Being a teenager in this society has been ruining my life.
Fears that I could overcome before have become even more apparent, the unsettling feeling I have always ignored can't be avoided anymore.
As people get more interested in each other I feel like a weed, ready to be pulled out, yet everybody walks over me.
this is a very normal and valid experience to have when you're young. humans are in a constant state of evolution, mentally and physically, and trust me when i say that even if you feel stuck and alone right now, time moves and you move along with it. always. it sounds like you're still in high school. eventually, you'll move out of your hometown. ......
