What you see isn't always what you get. A couple months back a boy once let four simple words slip from his lips, "But aren't you innocent?" and for awhile I actually believed him. That is until today. Today I thought back to the low point in my life this year and I realized I'm not as innocent as most think. I don't ever want to be thought of as innocent anymore, because that would be lying and no one likes a liar. I'm totally up front and real about who I am. I can be mean. I can be good. It's simple human nature and no one can be hidden away from human nature. It's going to bite you in the ass when you get to the real world.
One thing is for sure, I'll bite life right back in the ass if I have too. I will be my own person and not the person everyone wants. My mom is constantly scolding me and yelling at me for my mistakes. She never lets me live them down and she never will and thats totally fine with me. Parents makes me laugh because they act as if they never were teenagers themselves and they need to wake up and smell the roses- we're going to do what we please because nobody is going to stand in our way. So Mom, you've got to let my mistakes go and see the good in me.
Everyone has low points and high points. Mine are mostly low, but that's besides the point. We'll all do crazy things in our lives at least once- twice if we like it. I think you should be happy with who you are and quit pretending to be someone you're not because that will only bring you down more. Life is too short. Be exciting. Be real. Be happy. Do things you've never done before. Do things others won't appreciate. Do what makes you happy. You are perfect the way you are and never let someone tell you different.
To the people I've hurt- I'm sorry if I've ever wronged you, especially Kara Nicholls, I never meant to hurt you or bring us to part ways. To Luke, I'm sorry for the silly dumb things I do and I'm sorry I was quick to get upset but you hurt me sometimes, but I can take the pain. Please forgive me for my mistakes. I'm just a human being- it's human nature- and I can't out run human nature and the shitty things that happen. I hope everyone can learn from my mistakes and I hope you all make mistakes and have flaws because that's what makes you perfect.
-Reid.
