It's an interesting concept that takes some people a long time to learn (I think some never fully grasp it); that attempting to conform to an image, even if you made that image up yourself, isn't necessarily the best way to go about living.<br /> I think once you find yourself telling your brain, "Don't like that, you shouldn't want to go to that, you don't care about that," etc., you're just kidding yourself.Lenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234471280154985420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-32037847388438408072010-07-24T15:38:42.349-05:002010-07-24T15:38:42.349-05:00I have no words, this was incredible.

I too graduated 8th grade this June, although I was too obsessed with the thought of "giving in to the norm" that I ignored the senior dance altogether. After which I did realize how foolish I had been, seeing as all of my friends went and my decision had just been an obnoxious stunt. I just wish I had been as smart as you.<br /><br />Keep on writing! ~ BrigidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503638123248440823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-82472208637070096282010-07-23T02:20:45.155-05:002010-07-23T02:20:45.155-05:00There is hope for the youth!

I a...hahaha, I remember 8th grade dances- dreadful! I adore how you articulate things, how you put sentences together so artfully. I also would like to say that I didn't learn this lesson until this year! I'm a junior in high school! It's actually quite nice to let go of feeling like you need to cling on desperately to your unique-ness... and realize that sometimes people actually <i>are</i> being themselves, even when you suspect that they're trying to conform. What I learned this year, that you learned already at age 13, was that it's cool to be madly in love with Bob Dylan and jam to a bit of Gaga from time to time. It's nice. <br /><br />I'm new to reading your blog and I am already head over heels. I admire your level of intelligence and your splendid story-telling. fantastic! I think you'll have a pretty good time in high school if you join some clubs and keep yourself occupied with your art/fashion/ whatever else it is that you love, since sometimes the boredom you experience is overwhelming ;)<br /><br />xo<br /><br />http://dancing-gypsies.blogspot.com/Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991518356343237572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159090215082945111.post-64985880813162639712010-06-10T00:52:52.788-05:002010-06-10T00:52:52.788-05:00This is brilliant!

Or is it just that 14 is a lot smarter and much more articulate than it was way way back in the day when I was your age? In any case, I thoroughly enjoy your blog, your voice, your attitude.
