I feel like I love to share my opinion on every single thing in the world. I have no idea why but it's so much easier to share it on a blog than in the real world. This is my 10th or so rant on this blog, but this is what I'm gonna share on a weekly basis...my feelings on life.
This week, I've seen the rise and fall of certain people that I freaking hate at school. As much as I hate to say it, I found it to be gratifying and nice to see that these people are now feeling the excruciating pain that I felt in middle school. So many people were intent on ruining my life in middle school to the point where I've become somewhat heartless towards what happens to them. It's a rude move, but when you've been bullied all your years, it's just good karma.
Second, I've felt what it was like to watch the person you love suddenly just forget about you. It's painful, really, but once you know how it feels, it's just another feeling meant to disappear later on. Even though we were both extremely good friends, he kinda just gave up on me and I knew that summer and meeting new people would change us. It's upsetting to be honest, but I've accepted it.
Third, I've been inspired by some of the most random people in the world, football players included. One of the seniors at school, who is the star wide receiver, helped me gain my perspective onto what life was really like for a "popular" kid and helped inspire me to not be so judgmental towards some people.
Me: Don't you ever hate being the popular clutch football player at school? Always getting the blame or the praise if you lose or win?
Him: Not really. I enjoy it. It teaches me.
Me: Why? And how?
Him: When you're the clutch and you're out on the field and you look up in the stands to see a hundred or so of your classmates standing there anticipating an amazing play, you begin to realize what you're doing this for. It's like a coin toss. You want heads and when that coin gets tossed you begin to realize a lot of things. When you're the clutch and you're out on that field, you suddenly realize what you're playing for.
Me: Explain that analogy.
Him: When you toss a coin in the air and you want it to land on a certain side, you suddenly know what you're hoping for in the split second that it is in the air.
Finally, I realized that giving up was my best alternative to certain things. There really isn't much to write about on giving up, but it's pretty self-explanatory.
It's been good to get stuff off my chest this week...
