The Next Generation
There's a point in everyone's life where you begin to realize that death will come to us all. With my family, death is a really touchy topic, because we don't have much family. There's not really many people we can call trustworthy and strong. But, the other day, I came to the realization that I will have to be the person that needs to carry on our family. I'm the next generation, and I can't make the mistakes everyone else did. I came to the realization that, one day, I won't have people to lead me and tell me what to do. I'll need to support myself and make the right decisions. Being young, in this society and age, is really tough. But, we need to keep going forward, because that one day when our parents fall, we will have the torch to light the way for others. We will be the generation that will change everything.

Words.
Words are limited,
Lives are lost,
Tears will dry,
And life moves on.
Tell who you love how much they mean to you, because I've never been more sad in my life when someone left me and they didn't know how much they meant. Words are limited, but they mean a lot. People will leave my life, but move on. You can't change the past. So, create the future.

Am I Mean?
Being MEAN vs. REAL
So the other day I was told that I was being mean. I totally understand why he said that, but I was just stating the truth. So now, I realized that many people have the same issue (being real is not being mean.) And now here I am writing a blog post.
First off, to prove this, we are going to look at the meanings.
mean1
mēn/
verb
1. intend to convey, indicate, or refer to (a particular thing or notion); signify."I don't know what you mean"
synonyms:
signify, convey, denote, designate, indicate, connote, show, express, spell out; More
re·al1
ˈrē(ə)l/
adjective
1. actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed."Julius Caesar was a real person"
synonyms:
actual, nonfictional, factual, real-life; More
Now, I'm going to give some examples.
Mean: "I hate your haircut."
Honest: "Your haircut doesn't suit your face."
Mean: "Wow. Your outfit like a carnival."
Honest: "You don't match."
There's a difference. One is being plain old rude, the other is stating the facts. As you can see, there is a significant amount of difference between the two. Mean is being rude to someone. Real is stating facts. If I were trying to be mean, I would've insulted someone, and been rude. If I were trying to be realistic, I would've given facts, and stated the obvious. I never intend to be mean, unless I have to. But, sometimes, being realistic comes off as mean. When I was younger, I told my parents I wanted to be an artist. My father said, "Artists don't make good money, you would be broke." He wasn't being mean to me, he was being realistic. Now I'm hoping to begin studying Forensics, and hoping to be a photographer or detective. He saved me from doing something I would regret in the future. Being realistic isn't being mean. You sometimes need to crush someone's dreams to help them see clearly. I know that sounds bad, but it's true. Yeah, being a realist is sometimes hard. But in the end, you just saved someone from doing something they would've regret. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt my friends, but nowadays we're grown up and sometimes they need a little criticism.
Honesty is the best policy, or so they say.
Also: I will not a posting or replying as much. School is getting a little rough, so I'll be back soon. :)

Heartbroken
People are crazy.
I never knew that I would be caught in a web of lies, being manipulated by someone that I thought I could trust. He said he would be there for me, he said I was his. Young love will not last. People will break your heart, and leave you to pick up the pieces alone. I'm tired of being used. I'm tired of waiting. I'm done. I try so hard to get your attention. I try so hard to be the best version of me. I'm done trying. I've done so much for you, and I got nothing. The days that I've spent worrying about you, you didn't worry about me. The tears that I shed for you, you never shed any for me. You can still say you love me. You can still say you need me. You can even say that you're there for me. But, in the end, it's not true and it was never true. I'm done, and if you (yes, you, the person reading this) have been put through something similar, you should be done, too. Be done with the person and your feelings towards them. They're not worth your time and love. It's hard to find someone, I know, but it's completely worth the wait. Never waste your time with someone that doesn't care to love you back.
You're done.

It's Holding Me Down
What is school?
School is where you get labeled and get taught unnecessary things. School is where you get identified by a number and a name. School is where you make friends and learn who you can trust. School is scary. I am still in school, and I'm still waiting to learn about real life. We don't learn about writing checks, cashing paychecks, job interviews, or anything. Life is waiting for us, and we're sitting here learning about "the types of rocks" or "geometry." That's not going to help me get a job. It might help other people, but I'm not going to be a geologist or architect. I want to be a forensic photographer, and, right now, high school is getting me nowhere in that field. I want this job, later in life, but how? How can I do this with no guidance? Well, I'm going to do what I've been doing for my whole life, do it on my own. I'm not going to give up on a realistic dream. I will work hard, on stuff that doesn't matter, and go to college. I want this, badly, and I won't give up. School will hold me down, but after all of this madness, I will rise.
School isn't where I learn about life.

Don't Give Up
Calm down.
There's always going to be something trying to ruin your day, sometimes your life. But don't give up. Life is meant to make mistakes and learn from them. If you just have to keep your head up and be confident, you'll find your place in the world eventually. Time is all it takes to become something amazing. I just want you to never back down. That mistakes will cost time, but you CAN'T give up. Life is rough, but you need to wake up and show the world what you're made of. You're made of bones and flesh, but what's most important is your brain. You'll get nowhere in life if you keep giving up and caring what other people think. People are rude and will take advantage of you. I don't think there's one person on this earth that wasn't mean, at least, once in their lifetime. Everyone is mean, and, sometimes, if you want something you have to step up, be assertive, and say what you want. People can't read minds, you know. Don't ever give up until you get what you want. You have to keep pushing on.
