Last night I didn’t really want to do too much. I really never want to when I return to school mostly because I just lose energy. So here we are sitting in my living room area deciding on what to do. Nothing is really coming to mind… of course there were parties to go to but i’m not too down with the club scene. Like why would i pay to go into a place that’s really cheap and everyone is going to just stand around and stare and tweet ? We did go to some small gathering, I think it was a house warming but i’m not sure I tend to just go along and not pay attention to a lot of shit so whatever and junk. One thing did stand out to me last night though. Now this will sound cruel but it’s most certainly not. But people who don’t smoke or drink or party always try to make people who do look really bad. At the little gathering some guy was just like, “why are these kids starting to be so weird? it’s because they all smoke weed!” and i’m just sitting there like that’s the most ignorant statement i’ve ever heard. I definitely don’t see the correlation between the two. As a matter of fact I couldn’t quite understand how he even came up with that idea. People who are weird are just weird. Then I was texting my friend and she was calling people who casually smoke and drink weedheads and alcholics. I really found that hilarious. It’s like when people aren’t doing something they quickly categorize and ridicule. It’s actually quite annoying to me though because i’m somehow always around people who say things like that. Just because you aren’t or you don’t like doing something doesn’t mean you should try and make other people feel bad. If someone who was an atheist told religious people that they are brainwashed people in cults i’m pretty certain a lot of people would be angry. But once again it all comes from ignorance of knowing and not knowing how things work. I guess when people don’t know about things and they listen to other people and believe it without researching and experimenting things themselves they tend to label it as danger. Or if they have a bad experience it has to be dangerous but we are not all the same people. We all react differently. Just like when I had a cousin who laughed at a death in the family while everyone cried. She isn’t a heartless person or a monster she just coped with it differently. Which reminds me… I really hate being around people who live life in a fucking bubble man. Like where are your other thoughts or do you only think so much? It’s also very strange that a very high percentage of my friends think and do nothing that I do. That shit drains me alot because I feel like why do I hang around these fools?! but i accept the differences on easier days. Which brings me to a thought that i’ve been thinking for awhile … ha. Why do people try to label people with ADD or ADHD or autism as people who are slightly beneath the average person. No, don’t get me wrong it’s not actually said but it’s pretty much indirectly screaming it. I think people are different. Some people have more extreme differences than the average person. That doesn’t mean they’re crazy or incapable of doing things. Just means that people need to be more understanding of one another. I remember I had to actually watch an autistic child in a classroom for a class last year and their was nothing wrong with him. Although according to text he had “behavior problems” I couldn’t see it. I just saw a little boy who felt different and didn’t know why and instead of someone trying to see life how he saw it he had to be put in a corner. But I did talk to him. I really connected with him and actually felt sorry for him. People don’t have time to understand and learn things from people like him because they aren’t “normal”.
So these are all the thoughts floating through my head last night…
Good post !
