Put The Wig Back On

Hey y'all! Up until this point all of my posts have either been poems, pictures, or videos: either stuff that other people have done or stuff that I have done in the past. At this point however, I felt like just writing some thoughts down, impressing the thoughts swimming around in my head onto the electric page.

So I've been thinking lately. About life and stuff that happens when you're a teenager. Stuff that's often cliche, but only because everyone goes through it. I'm talking about drama, identity, and self-doubt. Trying to figure out who the hell you are and how you fit into this crazy jigsaw world. Anyway, I've been thinking, and it seems to me that problems like these aren't things that just go away when you get old. "Poof- you just turned twenty and now you no longer feel self-doubt!" That just doesn't happen. If you feel shitty about yourself, if you're trying to figure out who the goddamn hell you are, if you're dealing with drama seeping in from your various relationship then all that is stuff you will have to deal with for the rest of your life.

You have to figure out how handle those issues. You have to figure how to deal with self-doubt, how to deal with identity, and how to deal with drama in your personal life. I mean face it: you're always going to have bad days. You're always going to feel bad about yourself at times. Stuff like that doesn't go away: its part of reality and its part of life. What that means, however, is that you have to figure out how to handle those feelings. I'm not saying how to handle, I'm still trying to figure that out myself. But you absolutely cannot ignore them or run anyway from them.

I'm sorry if I got too preachy here or anything. These are just my thoughts: ignore them, follow them, do whatever the hell you want with them. Like I said, all I'm doing here is impressing the bare surface of my brain upon the electric page. These are my thoughts, hope they help you or at least stimulate you!
