The idea that, the guy who people have low expectations for because he smokes weed and has a different outlook on life, is ahead of the game. I am this person. I do drugs (after researching them, of course), I do what I feel like. I explore possibilities whenever I find a reason to question the norms. I have a negative view on organized religion. I've never really studied for exams or tests besides at the last second, and yet I have a 3.545 cumulative gpa. I've been accepted into a college. I have aspirations for the future. My parents seem proud and are always willing to show this. I enjoy this feeling of superiority, because I can live my life unrestrained by mindsets and laws of society, and still succeed and do just as well as everyone else. It just reinforces my view on society, the ignorance of others, and the beauty and simplicity of nature. This is my confession.
thats people for ya..."you smoke weed! that will get you no where in life! your just gonna be a burnt out loser when you grow up getting no where in life!". although that is true for some people who cant do anything productive while stoned, there are people who can do well in society and still enjoy smoking weed, just people dont think that it can work like that. good work my friend!
Wow. So what's it like to be better than everyone else? Must be really exciting. I mean at least I'd be excited if I got to be that awesome as well. Tell us more.
Never said I was better, just that I'm beating the shit out of everyone's expectations and it feels great..
Some people are born with...what some term "luck". The fact is it is not luck, you were just born to follow a different path for a while. You have less conflicts to deal with, less challenges...and while this CAN allow for laziness, and a "wow i can do anything and it wont even matter" feeling, it shouldnt. I believe people born into this kind of life should use their time to help others, who DO have more problems to face... I can completely relate to how youre feeling. I dont really revise for exams, i dont work very hard, yet still get pretty respectable grades. I was born blessed...with a mother who loves me and a roof over my head. All this is an absolute privilege, and i realise i must be one of the "luckiest", or most blessed, people on this planet. I think the important thing for us, though, is what we do with all this saved energy. All these benefits. We have the power to really make a difference with it...but its not about proving people wrong, or self-indulgence...its about being here to help our brothers and sisters reach the same place. Xx
WhisperingWoods: From that mild intro, everything you just said could go for me...although I don't smoke hardly at all anymore. verseau_miracle: That is an awesome post. Although I know I do indeed have an enormous amount of luck and fortune, I also understand that I am where I am at because of my own actions. Those actions might be guided by genes or fortune...but I still made them. But you are so true, in that we should help those born with less fortune than us. However, to be stereotypical, I'll help the good guy who doesn't get it a study session, but not the lazy jock wanting the easy way out. People that screw themselves over, however, won't get sympathy from me.
