Pretty much every late night post of gibberish I put up will come off of the top of my head. I never really have an idea of what to write, ever. I just usually gather my thoughts as if i’m jellyfishing for them or something. (lol) With that being said, has anyone noticed how fast time is traveling nowadays? Along side with how it seems as everything is losing its meaning.
Let me explain.
My teenage years (and especially my teenage years) have seem to just come and go faster than you can say Constantinople. With all laughs aside, I just feel like I can remember from graduating 8th grade as if it was yesterday. Same goes for graduating high school. It just all went by so fast, and I feel completely ignorant because I never really enjoyed high school. I’m not going to lie, as most people will probably beg to differ, I actually miss going to high school. I went to a private school, so there was only like 500 people or so. It just felt like a really big family, everyone knew everyone. Now looking back at it, I feel like I pretty much cheated myself out, like taking myself for granted. I never went to any homecomings/proms/extracurricular activities, and I shoot myself in the foot for it. Little did I know, that’s where most memories and all the other stuff you remember from high school is at. Its times like this where I wish time machines were actually real, and not just something you see in movies. But then again, if i changed the past I probably wouldn’t have been the same person, so I guess it was for the better. Long story short, savor every moment of high school, you only have four years of it. You can thank me later. (;
Oh, and then there are all the holidays. It seems as every second I get older, I notice how the rest of my family is getting older too. The sparkle and anticipation of every holiday just isn’t the same as it use to be. It seems like the holidays are just kind of forced now. “our neighbors already have their lights up, how come we don’t?!” <— point proved. Christmas time is a time to be jolly and just about spreading love, not about competing with who’s house has the lights up first, or which house has the most, or which house is most likely to be burned down first from having so many lights in the first place. I don’t know what happened. Which is probably why I kind of miss being a kid sometimes. I miss getting presents, I can try to guess and be excited about whats actually in them. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m still grateful I still do get gifts from my family, but its like “Oh, it’s a card, I know whats in here”. You know?
I don’t know, I was just randomly thought about this as I was laying on my bed today. I don’t really have anything else to say on it because I think I kind of said too much already. I’m pretty sure alot of people will just glance at this and be all like “wtf? yeah, I’m so not reading this” haha. But that’s totally okay if you don’t, I wouldn’t mind. (: I’m still benefiting myself by pouring out all my thoughts, you know?
And I just want to leave you guys today with a challenge.
I challenge you all to try to live for the little things in life. Pay close attention to everything around you, think everything out fully, and not to let things just slip away. Open your eyes a little bit more, and you’ll see life with more colors, trust me. Everything you do now affects your future so much, I just don’t want you guys regretting anything later in life. I care about you all and I wish you all the best. <3
With that being said, do we have a deal?
God bless,
Mikey
