this seems off

i feel so silly about the whole deal of school sometimes.
i wake up earlier than my body wants to then i dress up in a uniform i dislike and eat as much - or as little - breakfast as time allows then rush out of my house to catch a bus to catch another bus that will deposit me outside a school where i'll have to move from uncomfortable chair to uncomfortable chair to learn about stuff i don't always quite care about (but maybe would if teachers cared to explain the stuff's relevance to my life). then i wait for ages at a bus stop to get on a bus that will take me to the other bus i need to get home then i get home and eat a lil somethin then do chores then do homework late into the night, hoping i'm doing this school thing right (cos if not then i already fear for what will become of my life.)
none of this seems healthy.
and i'm so scared of being unconsciously molded into this person that i don't want to be with values that may not be true to my nature and not being able to stop it. sometimes i inwardly scold myself for even wanting to take the easy route and the average route and the always-say-yes route. it's so hard to keep strong and keep fighting to be myself. i know i have a warrior spirit but i'm so scared it might fall asleep.

  1. you know what's so amazing about this? it's that not only do i feel this all the time and you've somehow managed to say exactly what's on my heart at the moment but that you are questioning school and you are a really smart person.
    sometimes when i address these issues to people they go "ugh so ur like a totally drop-out/bogan huh? hm, you don't look like a person who'd fail school.. haha trololol ttyl" and i'm just standing there going like what?! being good at school doesn't equal intelligence just like questioning school doesn't equal being stupid and super rebellious. it's normal to question what's going on around you and it's normal to explore your personality too. i just wish people weren't such judgemental cows and school chairs were more comfy.

    1. exactly! people love to judge smartness by how well a person does academically and i don't like that, it's so limited and closed minded in a way.
      i really appreciate your comment lotus, and the last part made me laugh.
      :-)
