[ Life ] Is Not What We've Been Brainwashed To Believe.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."

Things are not as they always seem. We've been taught as kids to believe that the world we know is ten times different than the one outside our door. In all truth, it kinda depends. As we've grown older, we form our worlds into what they are today. And we will continue to change them as time goes on. But when they tell us that our world knows nothing about the real world, well, this is bullshit. Everyone goes through stuff that you don't necessarily share with others. Just because you're younger than the people who brought you up or who watch over you, doesn't mean you don't know about the world. On the contrary, you may know more about what they call "the real world" than THEY do. Our generation has lots of issues (not to make us sound crazy). But there are so many forced disorders. There are so many people in this generation who have to deal with drugs, depression, suicide, violence, abuse, neglect, and dangerous situations. And we've dealt with more of it than the generation above us, and the generation about them, and so on and so on. They call us out and say we're lying about it. But in all truth, we feel like we can't tell them about it. Like strangers in our own house. We look to peers as family more than we do our own parents. It's not supposed to be like this, but it is. We've been shoved and knocked down by the very people that are supposed to be helping us. And then they wonder why we don't talk to them as much as we used to? Maybe it's because they try to control every move we make. Try to control who you are and will tear you down if you don't fit the generic mold they want you to fit. It's tearing families apart, and we're getting blamed for it. And I'm sick of it.
