i'm tired of writing about myself and my situations. there is so much more beyond that.
i think that's the one, magical flaw about children: they are actually terribly selfish, and completely oblivious to everything that doesn't happen to them directly; not because they are ignorant, per se, but because they simply don't care. they don't want to know.
the difference between children and adults is this:
kids are afraid of the dark.
adults are afraid of what hides in it.
kids are afraid of the monsters under their bed.
adults are afraid of the skeletons in their closet.

what is it that makes us who we are?
is it our genetics or our jeans?
labels from society or the labels on our clothes?
i'm seriously debating between whether or not people can be born "evil", or if that's just depending on who you grow up around.
i mean yes there are certain standards, likes, and dislikes that are ingrained into your head, conded into your genes simply because your parents got hot and heavy one night-
but i really don't think that your genes are the defining factor in who you become.
i'm toying with the idea that if you grew up in a different place (and thus had different friends and enemies), you would be a completely different person. your experiences would inevitably be vastly different if you were raised in new york city as opposed to los angeles, or chicago as opposed to some hick town. there are certain variables, as experiences, friendships, and environment, that in my opinion fully shape a person.
breathe out. that's all for now folks.
take care.
