"But how many heartaches
Must I stand before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hangin on
When I feel my strength, yeah
Its almost gone.

How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break? "

So.....I had a lot to say but I deleted it all for the sake of you, isn't that sweet of me? lol, jk jk, so anyway, I've come to a nice, startling realization today, cos so many bad things have been happening. to us, I mean.

So, we're the class of 2008, right? (maybe not you, but me, izzy, saud, acura, dreamy, link-o, thefty and Lesae are)
And we're basically the experimental class for everything. We hada take the giant standarized test and if we failed it we wouldn't graduate. (thank god they gave us 4 tries, lol, cos I doubt halfa us woulda graduated without those tries)
We're also kinda like, the first 90's kid group to graduate. Like, we've grown up with everything tech-savvy and that's how it is; we don't wanna go backwards. We've also grown up entirely different than anyone before us. We might be better, but I would only say we're better in the emotional category. We lack any real sense of hard work cos we didn't have to and we never will. So I guess that's just fine. We lack business manner, and we lack the knowledge of being able to write pretty well.
We've grown up with violence as something that just happens, and we have no real feel to it. We just know we like it, apparently. But we also are the first generation to have more divorced parents and couples living together instead of marriage. Many people just think that this isn't a big problem cos it happens so much, but it's brought us up differently. We don't bond as well with our parents, no matter how much we say we get along great with them. We listen to our music, we bond with each other cos in the end all we'll have is each other.
Many of us don't realize the crisis we're being set up to face. We've been suckered into taking care of everyone before us without a clue as to how we should do that, but the older generations don't care. They figure we're smart enough; we'll make a plan.
But...in all that they've taught us (violence, sex and the new idea of 'morals') it's bound to confuse us. They're giving us a disaster to take care of that we never made. We were just brought up to believe we would be able to take care of it.

So yeah, we're pretty different. We're the first official tech-age kids and we have no direction whatsoever. It's going to be interesting to see how better we become than our forefathers when we graduate and begin our lives.

Yep, that was my epiphany moment for the night! love it or hate it, it's true! Just think about it n' you'll get it.
