It's one of my favorite places in the dumb little state of Ohio. I love places that have a dirty feel, with a bar. I honestly love being surrounded by smoke, and drunk people, and people such as myself. I love being around people that can make me smile.
I love when how you find someone who just completely lifts up your confidence. Because Lord knows I have zero. And when you find someone who just makes you feel so good, and just makes you love your life, it's amazing. It's completely beautiful. Even if it's just for one night, or a few hours. Finding someone like that is glorious. You just never want to be too far from them because you never want to lose the feeling they give you too soon.
But then after a while, you realize, "Shit. I'm so not what that person wants." Or someone jumps in and just, ruins it, and makes you feel like total shit. And it just fucking sucks and it hurts. It sucks to feel as though you're never going to be what someone wants, or be what someone's looking for. Or maybe you are. Maybe you're just perfect for that person, it's like a hand in a glove. A foot in a slipper, yin to yang. [Which ever way you describe.] But they can't see past exterior, because that's what our world teaches people.
MTV, internet, fashion magazines, MYSPACE. Stupid shit like that has the biggest effect on people. It's sickening. It really just makes me ill that people follow what they see.
It's acceptable to act like this, or to look like this. This is how you should look, feel, speak, dress, dance, act, etc. People don't have their own minds anymore. They follow everything as though it's meant to be a trend. Everything is becoming cliche. Think for yourself, dammit. Those magazines, and those girls on myspace, and fucking MTV are not going to be around forever. Don't let those things alter who you are. Don't be superficial and shallow because of what society is showing you. It isn't right, and it's wrong.
I'd much rather prefer someone hating me or judging me on how I act rather than how I look. Personalities can be fixed simply, they can be altered in a second. Your face is there for good [in most cases], unless you have the millions of dollars to fix it.
Nobody is actually ugly.
Everyone sees beauty in different ways, in different light. You may think someone is just absolutely hideous, but there's someone out there that looks at that person and sees beauty in them. There's someone out there that just, sees that persons greatness. Just like you may find someone to be extremely attractive, but there's someone out there who disagrees with you.
People see things differently, we all look through different eyes. Some similar, but never truly the same. Everyone feels things differently, but all know the different emotions that people experience, and we all know how it feels to feel like shit. We all know what it's like to feel on top of the world with joy, even if it was short lived.
People are people. Girls will be girls. Boys will be boys.
But girls and boys, be who you really are. See people for who they really are. Because boys, you're girlfriends fake boobs aren't going to actually be there for you. Girls, that foot ball star boy of yours isn't always going to be a big shot. You're super cute, super popular significant other isn't always going to be super cute. Nor are they always going to be super popular.
That shit isn't going to comfort you, or be there for you when you need it. Look past the glossy pages of Vogue, and those other magazines. Look past the glowing light of your computer screen.
Look into peoples eyes, and see and feel. Get to know people. Judge once you've learned something. You might just give up something beautiful. And I promise you that you'll be kicking yourself in the ass for it if you do.
Oh shit. I think I'm done.
