i have to write this now cause a comment is bugging me.
i had a post awhile back about loneliness. one of my major beliefs about being a teenager is that we all have this sense that we can't really relate to anyone else. this is in response to http://mewithoutyou.motime.com. first of all i don't appreciate comments like that. if you have something mean to say keep it to yourself or state it in a non-insulting manner, thanks. secondly, none of us have any idea what it's like to be someone else at any time. a lot of people would argue james ( a kid at my school) isn't alone and wouldn't know what it is like to be alone. they'd be wrong. this kid can't begin to share his life with anyone else. having friends doesn't mean you aren't alone. don't get me wrong though, having friends is great, i don't know what i would do without mine but i still feel an emptiness, like i'm missing something. and i didn't share my blog with a bunch of people i know for a reason... i don't share most of my thoughts and feelings with people. this blog is the most i share and it's not even a quarter of it. i don't feel as if i can share my life with another person. that is being alone. that is what james is experiencing.... that is what every teenager experiences. i can't pretend to know what you are feeling but something i've tried to live by (although am not always true to) is to not minimalize other people's feelings and i'd appreciate the same... the truth is none of us have it very bad and none of us that can write in a blog have a right to complain. if you don't like what i write go somewhere else. lastly, i have had a post about this before, i keep this journal as a current running tally of my thoughts and emotions. thoughts and emotions are always the most intense when they happen. at that moment i wrote what i felt. you have no right to tell me i didn't feel that. emotions aren't a logical result of what happens in our lives... in fact, they are rather illogical. truth is though, i still know right now why i wrote that entry and i don't feel very much different. i'm glad i have a blog because that comment is a prime example why i can't share my feelings with people... the very desire we all have. i know i didn't write all of what i thought about that comment in here but i'm going to stop now.
