Bleck

Don't let me down.

Society disappoints me. Or, rather, I disappoint society.
It's true. Don't deny it. Everything society tells me is right Psychology tells me is wrong. Everything Psychology tells me is right society tells me is wrong. Everything Psychology tells me is wrong with society, society tells me is necessary. I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of everything I do being wrong. I'm sick of my hair being too long. I'm sick of my music being too old. I'm sick of being told I'm weird. I'm sick of everyone hating everything I love. I'm SICK OF YOU ALL. I'm sick of every magazine telling me I'm alright the way I am and then showing me a model whose ribs I can count and telling me she's gorgeous. HYPOCRITES! Which page do I believe? Page 3 with the self-esteem boosting phoniness, or page 5 with the model? The woman who says she's happier with boobs the size of my head, or the woman who says she's happier being fat?
Why can't I be happy the way I want to without anyone telling me I'm wrong? Why can't I live here forever? Why do I have to move away? Because YOU told me to? No. And why should I cut my hair? Because YOU told me to? No.
I don't even know what I'm trying to say. And I don't know what point I'm trying to make. Basically the bottom line is just LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, BITCHES. That means ALL OF YOU. Don't tell me to calm down, don't tell me I'm overreacting. Just stop.

You don't need to calm down because you're totally right. (Only I hope you don't kill something for this.) But you should know by now how society works. In class the other day Mrs. Long said something about teenage girls feeling insecure about themselves and if women felt that they were accepted, companies wouldn't be making millions of dollars to produce their products. She made me feel guilty for, like, owning chapstick. I guess all that we can do is try to, for lack of a better word, "rebel" against society. I trust Wilcox way more than I do magazine-producing, money-hungry fiends. If you listen too much to what society tells you, you'll turn into people like K.M. And I don't think you want that. This is lame, but be happy with how you are. For you specifically, people notice and remember you by your mismatched shoes, your long hair, and YOUR AFFINITY FOR MR. LENNON and all the other Beatles. Even if they assume you're "weird" it just sucks more for them because they'll never get to know what a groovy chick you are. Which is probably better for you since chances are they have the mentality of a pea. :) <3

Nah, maybe so to help prevent future generations from creation one world wide stereo type of what Normal is, whatever the hell that is. Try and remember Leo the Lop on this one, the others made fun of him because they were ignorant and lacked understanding. As for those twigs in magazines. WTF is wrong with them? I would never listen to someone else, just like when it comes to a song or a movie. Someone may tell you it sucks and another may say it's great. As for me I blow off both and any comments and decide for myself as to what I like and if others don't like it I always give them the finger. It can get tough though. There are times you want to just be normal and fit in I actually know this, I use to wish so much not to be a nice guy seeing how I would be continually screwed over by others. But if I were to become the generic asshole. I wouldn't be happy, I wouldn't stand out. And most of all I wouldn't be the person I am today, the guy who'll always be there beside you. Even if the rest of society is against you. I'll be your support, your strength.

Love, luck, and lollipops

Nope, don't need to calm down. and you're definitely not overracting.
I enjoyed reading that it helped me to get some of my anger out too. I totally agree with ALL OF IT.
Thanks for writing that.
