Best part.
Another Rant..not as bitchy this time.
Alright one of the things I have a huge problem with is judgement. Why do people make speculations like that about people in Woodbury? That everyone who lives on this side and goes to my school are all the same. I mean some of it is true. It is true: we all do have fancy stuff such as iphones, macs, ipods, bigger houses, nicer cars etc. There is nothing wrong with our parents wanting us to have a good life. No one has the right to make assumptions on how wealthy or not somebody who owns such things are. What if a family is more responsible or irresponsible with their money, not nescesarily wealthy? You don’t know. I’ve seen both sides of this situation among my peers. Don’t judge someone’s wealth based on their possesions.
Another thing that bothers me is specifically related to myeslf. People assume that because I own a nice phone, laptop, am having my college paid for by my parents, and use my parents money for most things, I should have no right to complain or criticize my life. They don’t think WHY my parents are paying for my college. It’s not because of the money, it’s a part of culture. In mine, it is a parents job to get their child through college. Why do I have nice things? Because I am rewarded for them. My family has certain expectations for me and I meet them. My job is to put the most effort I can into my school work, which I do as you can tell by my rigorous schedule. I am a good daughter and a good sister because I don’t think it’s cool to sit around hating your family or trying to avoid them. I’m only living with them for so long. I want to see my brother grow and I like being able to joke around and have fun wtih my family.
And I think it is okay for me to feel sad or upset by some things that are giong on with my life. People thiing I have no right to feel that way because of what I stated above. But what they don’t see is how I cannot maintain relationships with the people around me. How I don’t enjoy being the way I am as a person. How I have to constantly push myself to do better and wehn I see the above falling apart I cannot handle it. Do you really think material objects make up a life? Just because my parents pay for my college and buy me nice stuff I don’t have the right to feel? No. If that was the way the world worked, the wealthiest people such as Princess Diana, Owen Williams, Elizabeth Taylor, Alexander McQueen, van Gogh, Gary Speed and many more would not have attempted suicide. Because to us, they have everything: fame, sucess, money, and the looks to be perfect.
This is just specifically my example. But we don’t know each other as well as we think we do. We don’t know everyone’s stories.
So don’t judge me when I’m upset. Or when I need to talk to you. Or when ANYONE is upset or needs to talk. We need to let ourselves go once in a while and Just Listen.
