Rant
So Cry About it!
Elly
Hmm, ok. Well, after much deliberation, I've decided on probably a pretty controversial rant this time. Which is to say, there are no doubt lots of people who don't agree with me on this point. And it also, BTW, has nothing to do with anime, manga, or video games (gomen!) because I couldn't think of anything related to those at the moment. No, my topic is people. What kind of people? Well, you'll meet them everywhere. They're the kind of people who will meet your smile with a frown or a grump or a glare--the kind of people who complain about silly things--the kind of people who think that they are the absolute center of the universe, and, demand all of your attention when they're depressed, and as soon as *you* are depressed it's a different story. Incidentally, I mean these all in very general terms. I think we all have done some of these at one time or another--I know sometimes I am grumpy and I complain, it's impossible to go through life and never complain, not once, or be self-absorbed now and then. But there are these people, who just seem to have the 'why me?' fever. When they have very few problems at all. Or comparatively speaking, their problems are as serious as two bags of llama droppings. (Ok, so in certain circumstances two bags of llama droppings could be a serious threat to human well-being, but we're talking metaphorically here). Say take a person who has stayed up late the night before; not because they couldn't sleep but they were doing something else. Then they complain all the next day about being tired. Am I missing something here? In the great scheme of things and in this universe of ours, two plus two makes one..and if you stayed up late, you're going to be tired--so it's your fault. Don't bother all the rest of us with it. I wish more people could just smile for once. Especially the sort of angst-filled teenagers I seem to encounter on a day to day basis. So being a teenager may not be as fun as it was being a kid. More work, less play, pimples, hormones, and peer pressure. Do you think that all of these things will disappear when you're going to be an adult? You'd better get used to it and quit bitching, because it's uphill from here. Except maybe once you're old--then you get treated like a kid again. Until then, you're part of the workaday world from the time you graduate--and if you're not working you're going to have to be freeloading or starving. So, now, while you can, and your biggest concern is that social test next week--smile a little. It won't hurt, and it might even do you some good. If you think life couldn't get any worse, and being a teenager is so hard, ok, fair enough. But why not try and make it better instead of bitching?
Oh, and by the way, if you disagree with anything on this page or other subsequent pages of my homepage and you have an intelligent reason *why*, don't hesitate to write. However, if you have a stupid complaint about the layout, or how long my rants are...then don't bother coming here! Oro...
