A Gray Mind

Let my writing coninue once more!

To All of My Friends Who Complain to Me about Middle Schoolers, Puberty, and Modern Ethics,

         To them I will say to just stop. I honestly do not enjoy your daily repetitive remarks about your hatred of middle schoolers. Get this: you are one, and that’s not subject to change anytime within a period of effectiveness.

          I understand, adolescence is the pits; however, why must you constantly rebound around that single point? I believe that you should ask yourself, actually, why you aren’t like the rest of the crowd. Technically, if they’re all talking about the things of which you despise, your view is the flawed one. In democracy the majority rules and decides and although the social plane is not a democracy (it’s more of an anarchy, if anything), the same principal applies.

          For those who harp upon the process of puberty, which in itself could perhaps be considered the core principal of adolescence, I wish for you to understand that you griping on this topic is, as with the previously mentioned topic, as pointless as cold fire. In athletics you clearly aren’t the fastest, strongest, nor most graceful. You say those boys who are deeper into the mine of puberty are quite lucky to be so as there ability exceeds ours combined. But even with that stated, how do you proceed in that area? Do you shuffle along with your head hung low, a glaze over your eyes, and with lazy intentions, or do you run forth at the greatest pace of which you can muster for a duration, with a desire to reach higher ability, a drive to reach said ability, and a gray look on your face that hides whatever hysteria my be unfolding in your mind? I proceed in the latter method, but you? Well, you know the answer.

          One day we’ll all be adults, or at least those of us who survive that long. As to quote the Red Queen/Queen of Hearts, “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” And as to quote Wikipedia, “The Red Queen Principle can be stated thus: In reference to an evolutionary system, continuing adaptation is needed in order for a species to maintain its relative fitness amongst the systems being co-evolved with.” How does this apply to our cycling lives of which we do not understand, you may ask. Well, there’s a fact about this world, perhaps a grim one to you, that you haven’t seem to have caught yet: even if you stop, the world continues to spin. Your words lead me to believe that you have assumed that everyone in our grade, and for that matter the entire student body, should be acting as the children of my elementary school did back in our 6th year of schooling, or 5th grade: carefree as young children should be. Legally we are still children, but in our hearts we are more. They may still be young, but they are maturing. Everyday they are closer to adulthood than their births, but you still seem to think that they shouldn’t be aging a day. Whether you keep running or not, the world will continue to spin and should you stop, you will be left behind as you are now, in a sense.

I understand the need to complain but please, leave a repetitive drag in your past. Why you do not embrace the change of age, I can only wonder. It will come to you, just as it has come to others, is coming to some such as myself, and will always come as long as man still walks upon his own feet.

Unfortunately, however, you will never see this. You lack a Tumblr, so unless I’ve told you my blog’s address you’ll never see this. You know what that also means? You, my followers (not my complaining friends), are not the people who complain to me. You enrich me, I believe.

So go on in life, I say. Change is necessary for life to go on,

So go.
