Someone once told me that to live is to love and to love is to know true meaning. They didn't specify, however, what type of love leads us to fulfillment. Now I think I know.
I'm aware that what I'm cradling in my arms has no heartbeat, no way to breathe, no pulse, no thought. Im aware that this is just a class project that I'll eventually forget ever happened and I'm aware that becoming emotionally attached to inanimate objects is usually not healthy. Despite knowing all of these factors, I've discovered that maternal instinct ....that need to care for and protect this manufactured chunk of plastic made to resemble a human baby. Deep down I know that somewhere in a big city advertisement commitees are going,"YES! We got another one guys! Wahooooooo! Yay manipulation of emotions through consumerism! Yay!"
( Alas, love hasn't cured me of my cynisysm...)
Now the question is: "Since when did I start living?"

Huh?
What is it about the human condition that incites people to undermine, corrupt and in general just be a jerkface?! It confuzels and bambuzels me to such an extent that, to be perfectly honest, I wack out at those who choose to be as such. I'm not completely sure, but this might be making me seem not only unapproachable but insane....which might be a good thing...maybe. Is it just me? Or is the world getting meaner and more unreasonable? Ranting seems to be the only way to keep what sanity I have left. So, thanks to Emily and Lavina for suggesting blogging as an outlet!
How long can a person live with the kind of contempt thats constantly being thrown at them?Some days, the only solution appears to be escaping to a place further away, but then I realized that wherever I run to, cultural expectations and exploitations will follow. so what could a person do to relieve some of the pressures of knowing that theres another aspect of life other than reality tv and plastic surgery? The only thing I can come up with is trying to inform people that they don't have to give in to stereotypes and helping them discover themselves.......but no one really listens to teenagers like me, so......if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
