Break me, or Push me down? Which one do you prefer?It's amazing how care and concern comes in the least expected places and people. How an acquaintenance can become one of your good friends overnight, how even a friend who never seen or talk to you before, someone who is miles across borders, actually offer her attention and concern for me much more than my close friends did. Irony anyone? But it's enough. It wams my heart and tingles my insides. That people care and do I look like I seriously care about the quantity? And honestly, I find it horrifyingly funny that people who should be close to me doesn't even know or bother to ask about me; here's the crux: they are appalled that so and so are sad due to one small little icky wicky outburst on her blog, and all at once, everyone crowds and ask her what's wrong. You know what's wrong? Nothing about personal life whatsoever, it's all about oh-my-team/CCA mates-are-giving-me-so-much-trouble or oh-shit-i-am-doom-for-exams or academics, whatever. Seriously, it does make our pains much lesser in comparison, huh?
And I am equally shocked, in a very unpleasant manner, how quick people judge others. Like just because I am always out of school, doesn't mean I am not involved in anything that is in any way less unimportant than yours. I keep my silence because you know what's most interesting to see? How people jump to conclusions about my life,
as if they know so well about me,
as if they think they know what I do outside. People are honestly superficial sometimes. What? Just because I am not academically inclined as your big brain, doesn't make me less of a good friend, am I? No, I absolutely cannot sense how you people rather drift to others because oh-wow-they-are-so-hardworking and no-shit-but-rachel's-stupid-and-lazy-and-h
as-lousy-grades. But lucky for me, I am not included in your meaningless gossip sessions and talks about nothin but academics and your CCAs. I much rather spend my time alone and not do serious damage to my soul and brain. Maybe I am too sensitive, or maybe you guys are too insensitive. But how do you react when your friend asks you to accompany her to the toilet, but she doesn't wait for you after that and run off for her dearest math lecture after that,
and not leave a seat for me? Honestly, am I that insignificant? I rather stick less with you people if you are all just manipulating yourselves around and trying to wriggle yourself to the top seat. It's competitive this environment, and I am not putting much of a fight (I'll lose to all these people anyway), but for goodness sake, at least
be real. It disgusts sometimes how people are so fake and how much they are changing. I keep my mouth shut in school, and I do not care how you guys interpret this or manipulate it to make me the bad guy, as always, nor do I give a damn how you guys judge me, because that's what you all are best at doing isn't it? (:
I feel lousy. Enough of this brainless rant.
