how i've come to this realization? i've been avoiding my life up to this point, if that makes any sense. i've been places and done things, yes, but i haven't fully realized i'm living yet. it's a shock to wake up and really see that i've been missing out on people and things.
i've finally realized i had fake friends. it took a long time and several bouts of drama that i wish i never had to go through. kids, especially, have a way of figuring out the weaknesses of others. they have a language adults slowly forget as they grow old. most adults never really seem to listen. they love to talk and be heard, they love to feel important. kids, however, have been taught to avoid talking in the presence of more intimidating people, particularly adults.
kids have a way of listening to people's body language as well as their words. which is how kids can sense better if they've really hurt someone. and they are better at figuring out the weaknesses of others.
some people, however, are simply the opposite of this. some people are so sensitive they hesitate to open their mouths in fear of hurting someone. they can't let their views be opposed lest they feel invalidated, sometimes rightly.
life's really too short for me to care what anyone thinks. but, for some reason, i do.
until next time
