Please do not feel obligated to read the following rant. Sadly not written in a flowing pattern as my English teachers would hope for. It is a slight stream of consciousness. BTW this is not meant to be depressing, it is just a real view on things I have been thinking about. I am ok, happy, and "vibin" out to music. :)
I am coming to realize how much I need to actually leave this friggin house, NEED the fresh air, school starts next week so Im thinking that will help me somewhat. This whole fitting right back in, is not exactly happening, but I can't say I didn't expect this, I did. Because lets face it number one, life is an ever changing thing and people aren't always the same, I am not the same, Number two i have noticed that some neglect to invite me places because they don't think its my "scene", which is fine I guess, its just I think, its time I meet new people, because frankly this road is a dead end. I must find people my own age, people who don't have pre-conceived notions about what I like and where I like to go. Even though in this state meeting new people is almost impossible because everyone is linked somehow. We'll see. Maybe I'll just call people I haven't hung out with in years. You could say I'm still confused. But I am happy that I registered and all is on schedule, school will start :) . Next week will be job hunting which im not exactly super excited about, buuut, I have to start saving and bringing in an income.
Im sorry if this is scattered,super scattered, hehe.
Anyway back to the new people thing, so yeah I have been thinking a lot lately that age when you are older isn't really a big deal. But right now, it is, I dont seem to be clicking the same way with people 18 & 19, I dont know, i mean the difference between a 31 yr old and a 33 yr old is, non existent. But I think the maturity level when ur younger grows rapidly, because ur suddenly tossed into the "real" world. From age 20-25 or 26, you start to realize this is not a game, a free ride and if you want things done, you have to do them yourself. It seems that my buddies still lingering in their teens haven't felt it yet. Which is fine, I mean they ARE after all still teenagers. But as I hit my 20's I realized how much more serious and how much more responsible one has to be now. This is no longer the, wake up, school, maybe work, watch TV, sleep (of course ur eating during this but its beside the point lol), its about what you have to deal with in between those. Work is no longer an option, it's a necessity. School is only a possiblity if you work or have parents who can pay for you. Life becomes real, and all the years before are suddenly insignificant. Pressures of money, dating, health, family, transportation etc hit you in every direction and you have to somehow stay afloat.
Oh dating... a topic worth the dramatic DOT DOT DOT of horror :). Since I was 14 or 15 the world has been wondering why i resist the idea of dating, it never interested me, and it still doesn't. I don't know what I'm waiting for and honestly I couldn't say. At this point if it does happen it will be with someone my age or older. I am friends with guys that are 18 and 19 and although they are amazing people, I never see them in that light, because they just don't seem to be in the same stretch of life as I am, this isn't bad, its just how it is. Actually, to be honest, not interested at all right now. I actually haven't ever been interested in it. Sad, and I know how it sounds. I might as well join a convent haha (im sure this will make my dad happy), but its just not happenin right now and if it does in the future I won't resist it, but to get myself away from this nun-ish behavior will be a challenge :P.
I always worried about everyone else, tried to help them with their problems. But I mean I was put on this earth to live my life. I love my friends and family don't get me wrong but is it fair that i have been the nurturer my entire life. Focusing on my own health, mentally, physically, and worrying about the daily issues I'm facing, is something that has to become number 1. I'm not saying i won't be there for people, because I will, its in my nature, but the fact is I have started to realize that people are always coming to me complaining and yet the courtesy I show them of listening doesnt seem to be a thing that is returned to me. I don't here peoples issues and help to get them to listen to me in return, i honestly love them and want to help. Yet I realized that no one is going to look out for me, NO ONE. So I have to look out for myself its the way it has to and will always be. Anyway this is a long rant. But I just felt like escaping for a bit.
