Some Thoughts · 11:21pm Mar 19th, 2015

So, this year in school, the teachers and counselor are doing all of this 'find out who you are' crap. Seriously, I don't want to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I know that you need to wait to find out who you really are, and these "helpful" nudges aren't telling me anything that I didn't already know. While they may be helping some, that portion is very small, as my grade as a whole is mature, confident, and pretty sure of what they want to do with life. What I'm trying to say is that you can't force people to figure themselves out before they're ready. More likely than not, you're forcing a personality on someone who it just doesn't fit. Sure, have your door open to those seeking guidance, but don't make us come in if we don't want to. We know ourselves better than anyone, and if you're staying involved to help our well-being, that's fine, but if it's something that we could find out on our own without causing harm to ourselves or others, let us do it on our own. We can figure ourselves out.

On a slightly related note, I don't think I care what people think of me anymore. It started a while back, when I signed up for a writing class. We shared our writing, which I'd been reluctant to do. I ended u having lot's of fun looking at pictures of food, messing around on google, talking, researching procrastination, playing writing games, and, oh yeah, writing. Everyone was awesome, and they didn't judge me or my writing, which I admit was a major fear. Fast forward a few months and you find me telling my friend that I enjoy MLP. She says she'll watch an episode with me, and after weeks of coordinating, she came over and we watched the first two episodes. Then we did some art of Rainbow and she went home.

She's watched a lot of episodes now, which is cool. I also found out that one of my friends also watches MLP, and has really similar taste in shows. Most of my other friends have noticed us talking about MLP now, and don't comment on it. I've also sung more openly. I'm not the best singer by any means, but I'm not horrible like some people. I'm directing that at my uncle who seems to think that he should be on The Voice or something.

Today I realized that I don't really care what people think anymore when I had hypoglycemia (look it up), and after the health class on puberty, I literally skipped out of class singing 'I'm free!' repeatedly, passing people in the hallway, and not giving a flying feather what they thought. In short, I realized that people aren't out to criticize my every action.

Also, today I ate a cookie.
