Growing Pains

When I was growing up, everyone said to try my hardest, do the best I could and to always be myself. Why is it that grown ups never tell kids the truth. When you get older it doesn't matter how are you try, if your doing the best you can, and you should never be yourself. When you work for someone other then yourself, there are ways that you have to act and they decide if you are doing your best. It is so hard to give 100% everyday and still be told to give more. If they wanted a perfect person then they should just go try to make one because the people that they are looking for and that they want us to be, are not real. You can't do more then your best. And watch out if you show even the smallest sign of being able to think for yourself. No one hires a person for who they are. They want the resume. That's all. So what if you read, so what if you like movies, so what if you have family that needs you. They do not give a shit. And it's really bad if you have medical problems. They don't want someone that needs to have health care. They want someone that they never have to think of as a person. I will not let this continue to happen. I will give a 100% even if they think I'm not. And I will be myself. I read! I write! I have friends! I have family! I have Health Problems!! Nothing stops me from doing the best that I can and nothing will ever stop me from continuing to try. We are all here to take care of each other the best that we can. We are all human ( or so I would like to believe ). Be the human that you need to be. It hurts no one to be yourself ( unless your self is a serial killer, then you just need to go away ), but if you turn yourself into what they want you to be then the only one you will be hurting is yourself. I refuse!! I am who I am! Green Eggs and Ham!! lol. Loved that book. Any who................just thought that I would rant about that. We should really tell kids that it is hard out there. And we should really stop the lies about it being different from high school because it's really not. You can lose your job because some popular girls don't like you. You can end up not getting a job because of the way that you look or talk. The world is a very hard place and every day that I step out into it, I really do feel like I just went back in time to high school.
