Apprehensive of what&#8217;s going to happen next. And then my heart sinks and I feel gross and sick and lonely and stupid.<\/p>\n<p>And then people tell me I&#8217;m growing up but I don&#8217;t want to and I don&#8217;t know how and why. Then they also say I&#8217;m still little and must enjoy when I&#8217;m little yet grow up at the same time and I just don&#8217;t know how. Don&#8217;t say that no one starts out knowing how to do anything, and that once they&#8217;re thrust out into an unknown world they&#8217;ll learn how to navigate &#8211; because I never did and I will probably never know how. Because I&#8217;m scared and I&#8217;m the only one scared because everyone else was taught right and learns right.<\/p>\n<p>Because I am an impudent person with a bad attitude and too much personality &#8211; oh wait, not personality, sass and idiocy (if I transliterate) &#8211; and I need to grow up and listen.<\/p>\n<p>Dare they say I think too much? I spend most of my waking time do nothing, and I spend my sleeping time awake. I read until my brain is confused and words slur together. I read until my mind is full of stories and things that I collect but never write down because it is 2 in the morning and I am alone.<\/p>\n<p>This is not to say that I am truly alone or that I am depressed and I need air, this is to say that I am very close\/not close and I need a wake-up call. But since you don&#8217;t know how to give one, do you think I&#8217;ll keep going in a straight line to nowhere?<\/p>\n<p>My hair is getting longer, but it&#8217;s still shorter than my dignity. I plan not to lose my dignity, not even a little bit of it &#8211; it&#8217;s the only reason why I can lift my head higher. My self-esteem is currently unheard of and pretending to be better than anyone else is merely a hobby. Another part of upholding my dignity (where did I get it from, anyways?) &#8211; but I don&#8217;t look very dignified or graceful because things vary and I am a variable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m putting off doing things that I should be doing because I&#8217;m scared.
