A boy trying to be wise like a grandfather or Dumbledore once said that he'd heard 'youth is wasted on the young'. We thought about it for a little while as the car drove on, and we decided to agree. But now Im not sure. He also said that he would ask himself what he would regret not trying while he was young. I thought it was strange to think in such a way. But I guess he's organized while im messy. Its funny when you can tell that someone has heard something before, liked it, and decided to repeat it. Like how this boy just said 'youth is wasted on the young' ...he gave credit to the person although he wasnt sure who the person was. Some people dont give credit. I hardly give credit because I can never remember that it wasnt I who thought of it. Or I just assume that people know Im too dumb to think of things so great, if they are great to that person at all. Another example of this lack of credit given is the other day a girl said 'there is a difference between being dirty and messy.' and i thought that was wise. Im very messy. But im very clean. She said the same. I guess no one admits to being dirty. but we all want to be messy so that we seem 'chill' and 'relaxed'. I HATE when people say they are 'chill'. Ha what a boring term. Chill means boring and lazy. Chill means that when a fly is buzzing around you, it doesnt even annoy you, because youre brain is too dull to let it. I hate 'chill'.
I just got super annoyed the other day of all this 'new' music. People are always trying so hard to 'discover' music. And then they (i) try so hard to make sure everyone knows THEY (i) discovered it first. Nothing is ever for enjoyment. Its always for what other people think. I just want to listen to old music that everyone already knows is great so that i dont have to worry about what other people think. I can just know that it was once great, and that will be enough. Im so sick of people trying so hard to be the newest and most recent form of amazing. The best people are the ones that like what they truly enjoy and dont give in to fads. They can change. Everyone changes. They can make discoveries, and be bored of who they once were. But they do it to find more beauty, not to sit and impress everyone.
One more thing - e e cummings said that it takes courage to mature (here i go...trying to give credit) and i've thought about that a lot lately. I think im ready to be a tad more courageous.
