February 5 2013. One Year.

I cried,

I wailed,

I made mistakes. 

I was so weak, 

I broke. 

ONE YEAR LATER

I am becoming stronger,

I am making amends,

My wailing is no longer silent. 

My crying is no longer quiet, 

I am learning. 

Being a Teenager

Teens, YOLO, just do it

Three phrases; one bond

They share a common misunderstanding

Meaning what?

Meaning exactly that,

Teens – only refers to numbers between ages

YOLO – seems to mean do it because you can

Just do it- meaning not to care about the process in which you decide what you do

They are opposites, yet also synonyms

As ‘teens’ we are often told

“these are the best years of our lives”

And “we should live a little”

So in following the advice of those older then us

We should not care about small things, but what is small?

Beyond the letters of this message lay the most interesting question

Are these people saying that we should just live ‘YOLO’

Should we only care about doing things, because we can?

I am often told “enjoy being young”

What does that mean?

I cannot keep living in a mixed up society
