Today I went on facebook to see some pictures uploaded from a guy who used to go to my school. He graduated a couple years ago and no disrespect to him but his act is clearly not together.
His priorities at the moment seem to be drinking, partying and girls.
He uploads pictures and receives little to no feedback, and when he does, it is typically negative.
He uploaded a picture most recently with some cheesy saying like "YOLO" or some other teen slang term that I absolutely cannot stand. He's drinking and has a huge goofy smile on his face; clearly not sober. He's posed trying to look godly or something, I do not know. It didn't turn out well.
I promise I'm not trying to judge, I just want this point across so the picture is clear.
Well, back when he was a senior in high school he was pretty much top dog. Everybody loved him and even though he wasn't the slimmest or best looking guy, he still got a lot of girls, because of his humor.
It made me wonder what his future held for him. Surely once he made it to university or college things would stay the same and he would still be popular and everyone would love him.
Turns out I was oh so wrong. Once you finish high school you pretty much get a clean slate. This I can look forward to. I'm pretty much going through high school being myself. I'm not trying to be popular, or be the prettiest or smartest, I'm just doing me. I love it.
It's kind of a relief knowing that I haven't been building up some fake facade to impress everybody in the hopes that it would live on my entire life. As though the teenage girls in my grade who are 'popular' have done everything for nothing.
Oh, not nothing, I mean lots of under age drinking, fish faced photographs, and late night mistakes... I promise I'm not trying to judge, although it's kind of hard seeing as it's in our nature.
Well, they can live their last year of school however they please because I'm going to do me and nobody else.
I was born an original, I'm not going to die a copy.
