Everyone can have an opinion. Just like everyone has a freedom of speech and religion, according to the First Amendment anyways. But can you really have that and no be judged for what you think, no way. Not in today's society.
No matter what you think, or how you feel, or what you believe in, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Our differences are what make us unique, and I think you can always learn from people who see the world differently than you do. I did today.
Which brings me to another thing. Why is it okay for black people to call eachother 'niggers' like it's part of everyday conversation, but when a white person does it they flip out and threaten them? Now, I'm not racist at all. I'm the farthest thing from it. I just don't get that.
But, there's another side to that. If they don't want you to say it, don't. They shoulden't say anything about a white person either. Respect them..and they respect you (or should, anyways.)
Stereotypes, racists, everyone judging everyone on every little thing they do or believe in. I hate it. Mainly the Morman's in California are responsible for making sure PROP. 8 passed, they pushed so hard to take away a human beings right to marry, which upset me to no end. I may not have that many strong beliefs, but the one thing I support and always will support is Love. No matter what gender you are. Love is not physical, Love is not mental. Love is in your heart. You have the right to love who ever you want, and thats perfectly fine. Why society thinks that's enough for homosexuals, I don't know. It's not affecting you if two lesbians or two gay men who are in love are getting married. They didn't vote on your marriage, they didn't tell you that you coulden't marry the love of your life. If anything, they're the ones who would support you more than anything. Put yourself in their shoes. Someone telling you you can't get married 'because it's not right.' How would you feel knowing you coulden't get married and share such a beautiful thing like marriage and starting a family with the one you loved? Just think about it.
And everyone out there who is still bitter about McCain's loss, we get it. The election is over though, we have a new President who's preparing his attempt to clean up this mess the country is in. So instead of digging to find out little stories that aren't even important, are most likely false cause you can't get proof and trying to make him look bad, why don't you have faith in him. This country is going to get no where unless we all unite, cause right now, there is no United States of America. We're divided, everyone's separating themselves from others who have a different belief and opinion. He needs us all to unite as a country and become one again. We're all in this together.
Speaking of faith. I let mine drift away these last few years. Got involved with the wrong people, let people just plain out use me and I didn't even care to notice what I was doing. Let science get into my head, believed all those theories that are just that. Theories. There's no knowing if they're true or not, it's just someones opinion. But I let it get to me. Let it take me farther away from the place where I really do belong. I really want to believe. My mind is easy to manipulate, which is what science did. I feel sorta like I was brainwashed and forced to believe one thing just because it sounds right. The thing is, my heart has always had faith. I've always believed deep down inside. I need to let my heart get back in control. I'm just having trouble digging down deep enough to get there...

So...what's up with cheaters? I swear, everyday in english I overhear someone talking about somone cheating on someone, and they go into deatils. Seriously? If you wanna have the privilage to fuck a girl or a guy and not have to worry or feel guilty...or not with some people, then just be single. My god. Little do they know, or seem to care, that they're really hurting the person they're dating. I have no respect for them.

I'm getting older. More 'mature' I guess you could say. Well compared to most people my age anyways. Physically? No, that happened a while ago lol. I got an early start.
Mentally? Yes, so much. I'm figuring out what truely matters in life, and what doesn't. I've always been respectful, but I feel I am more than anything now. Same with being open-minded. I always have been, but now I'm open to every new idea and opinion that comes my way. Unlike the disrespectful people this wolrd has, I'm never one to trash talk someone over something they believe in, and I have never and will never try to change something someone believes in. It all comes down to this. I know myself better than anyone else. Though it may not seem like that at times, I really do. There's two other people who know me pretty much just as well, but still. I know what I believe in, I understand my feelings, I know who I am.
The problem. When did other people start to take me seriously, especially adults?
They don't. Atleast alot of people don't. Adults stick the typical 'teenager stereotype' with me and don't give me a chance to speak up and show who I am. It's like that for many teenagers actually. It's a stereotype that adults need to stop clinging too. They hated it when they were teenagers, don't do it to us. Don't forget, we're going through the same things you did, except time's have changed, there's more technology, more ways to make bad situations even worse, and the media which is out of control. It's a bit harder being in our shoes now a days.
It keeps on hitting me that we're all growing up so fast. Getting older every second. And if you stop, for just one second, to think about, it kind of makes you sad. But life's one long journey, and we all have to create our own pathway to go through it. Don't follow anyone's footsteps. Live life for yourself.
