Too much shit to deal with.
I have never felt so connected to this blog's title.
Selfishness

People are selfish.
Selfishness can lead to very bad things. People can be stupid and inconsiderate. The problem with selfishness is that people let it control their lives. They can't control it, and their life falls apart before they can stop it.
Aren't we all selfish at one point in our lives?
Isn't selfishness what keeps us sane and living? If you did not care for yourself first, would you even be alive? If we thought to feed the starving and sacrificed our own food, we wouldn't be living, would we? And aren't you selfish because you're wasting the energy to read this? Shouldn't you be saving the world?
That's what I thought.
If you don't look out for yourself, no one will. Sure you have your family, but they can only help you to a certain extent.
Why do we do the things we do?
I'll admit it. I'm selfish. But come on. Who isn't?

The Journey

Life is a journey.
I made the mistake of thinking that college was the end of it all. I'm so worried about where I'm going. I feel like it will determine who I am for the rest of my life. What if I make
a terrible decision? What if where I think I want to go is the wrong decision? But then again.. I have no idea where I want to go. The small private schools are appealing in their own way. The large UC's are really appealing too. So what should I think? People have been asking me where I want to go to college ever since I've entered high school, but my thinking really hasn't changed at all. So of course I'm leaning towards the big UC's because that's what everyone else is doing, but what do I really want? I don't know. I really don't. And my grades are dropping. This is the most important year. I wish freshman year counted. That was a great year. Everything was easier. Actually.. not everything, but that's a different story.
And that is completely right.
Deep down most people are good. I think that was hard for me to understand at first. Things aren't as simple as black and white. But still. There are those rare bad seeds. Using people. Throwing them around like sacks of potatoes. Not even potatoes. They treat them worse than that.
I need to stop judging. Maybe not completely, but I need to change.
Honesty is the answer. Without it, who are you? You're someone else. You're something else.
Take a step back. Who are you now?

Dreams

Sometimes it's hard to know if what I think I'm experiencing is real or not. Is it a dream? Is it real? Things seem so strange that it seems like it's a dream, or more like a nightmare. Things seem too good to be true, so I must be dreaming, right? Or my dreams seem to real that I think it's real life. And then since I'm so confused I think that really good or really bad things that happen in dreams could be real life.
Life is confusing. I wish I could describe it in more words.
But really... things take me by surprise. What am I supposed to think? I don't know why I'm always so oblivious to my surroundings. I don't know if there are other people that feel the same way. I don't know if it's that I'm worrying about something else, or I think everything is fine, so I'm not watching out.
Life is weird.
Life.
