Adieu, ignorance.

Last night I spent the evening with two of the most down to earth chickas on the planet. All I can say about the entire evening is CHEERS TO GOOD FRIENDS. I find it exhausting and stressful.. frustrating beyond belief to see how much people hide their true selves from the world in high school. High school, yes what a generalization... Perhaps when I move on to bigger and better things I will consider rephrasing that sentiment, but for now it seems quite fitting. But how can I say that? I was once one of them. Weren't we all?

It's simple really... like spreading too much cream cheese on a mini bagel. We're overwhelmed with the surface, and therefore never get to experience the idea that has been so obviously offered to us in the first place. I have lived an ignorant life. I would not classify myself as an ignorant person, but lately I have begun to realize what is truley important to me, and thus accepting the fact that I have been ignorant to people's true identities.

I appreciate and understand the struggles of high school... I am living it afterall. It is no doubt a harsh judgemental environment; (and I have convinced myself that once we all reach "the real world" the caddy stuff will come to an end... unfortunately I may will have to keep dreaming) an environment that makes it mission impossible to be accepted 100 per cent for who you really are. This must be why we hide ourselves away.

There is such curiosity inside me now. Such a drive to descover people for who they really are.... I feel like I am surrounded by people who have discovered this as well, or perhaps are in the process.. But yet again: High school invades the individuality rhelm.

I want to be able to dance like a baffoon and have my friends join in. I want to be confident in my abilities to be a good leader. I want to take pride in my passions and find people who support and share them with me. I want to be goofy and obnoxious without being talked about. I want to blog without being judged and critiqued.

 I want you to hear this.
