Rant Alert!

Sometimes solitude is the easiest thing to swallow. I can listen to an entire CD without stopping. I can slouch, I can think, really think, think hard about lots of tough subjects. Best of all, I don't have to talk. The majority of people whom I know expect me to keep up a constant stream of meaningless chatter. I'd much rather just not say anything at all if I truly have nothing to say.

I'm not a big fan of teenage fads involving morality. Proudly announcing your "atheism"/lack of spirituality, I'm talking to you. Pretending to be bisexual when in fact the idea of kissing someone of the same sex grosses you out, I'm talking to you. Who ever decided that such things are hip? Why? Did they even realise that this makes all adolescents appear to be cold, callous hypocrites? A fair amount of teens have no idea of what kind of facts could back their ideas up so as to not sound ridiculous and have it be true. Since when has closed-minded refusal of any abstracts been alright? What happened to people with open minds and hearts? It's awfully lonely, when people everywhere have pretty much forgotten about the idea that you don't have to see something to believe in it. What we see are ads for dating companies that promise your soulmate is heterosexual, and "badass" kids who don't believe in anything but themselves once they've made themselves up and bought some nice new grungy-looking clothes from Hot Topic, so as to look even more lifeless than their long-dead sense of romance and wonder. Are you going to believe it just like everyone else? Please!

Phew.
Forever,
