What are your ambitions in life?
Where do you see yourself in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?
I know most of you are already working. But still you have ambitions of owning a house. Saving for the education of your kids etc.
I just had a normal civilized conversation with my parents, who finally are starting to respect my opinions. I'm really hoping of getting into a good university and getting a good job. I want to show those stuck up nerds that even an average guy like me can get something as good if not better. I had enough of teachers looking down at me thinking I have no ambitions in life. I'm tired of being looked at by others and judged just by what my marks are, they do not represent who I am. Everthing is changing in my life. I'm finally starting to realize a few things, and starting to burst out of this imaginary bubble that I used to live in. I really need to shape up and do better in school, but also I need to get real in life a bit. I have to start being more active, more participating. I have to change my priorities. I also realised that my friends will always be there for me (hopefully) and that I will always be there for them. There will always be complications, but things should always settle down. I also realised something, what a few of my friends where telling me, that if I try at achieving some small things in life and fail, that I always get another try, but more importantly that my life won't be affected by them much, and that again my friends and family will be there in my time of need. I just needed to talk to someone, and the person who I usually talk about things like these is currently occupied, can't wait until the person is free again. Well I'm done. What about you people. Did you come to any conclusions in life. And answer the questions I asked at the beginning.
I was just listening to the song "In the end" by Linkin Park. Here are the lyrics. I feel that they apply a lot to my life right now. Maybe not straightforward, but in some way they apply! :(
It starts with [one]
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everythin inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a
memory of a time when i [tried so hard]
Tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to remind myself how (I tried so hard)
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so [far]
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a
memory of a time when I [tried so hard]
Tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
Peace, I'm out
Sincerly,
Juvenile!
