The Teenage Brain

YOU.

Hey. I was wondering the other day, has anyone ever told you how fascinating you are, when you're you? Well I'm about to tell you now, and brace yourself, you might cry. (I did, when writing this.)

One of the main reasons so many evils in the world exist is because people aren't themselves. This isn't some tumblr shit where I tell you to be yourself and love everything and give out candy, no. This is where I explain, why you need to realize, what makes you an abundance of soulful total marvellous 'you'.

People become jealous when they aren't satisfied with themselves. People rob, hurt, backstab, murder and rape other people, because they dont realize, other people are just like themselves. Sometimes, they don't understand themselves either, the word 'you' means nothing to them. That ... is just ...

You see, the law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed. That is, everything in the universe is recycled.

Do you know what that means? There could be atoms from the soil that thrived at the very beginning of earth in you.  There could be parts of meteorites that crashed  billions of years ago, in you. Your heart could be made of stars, you could be part of the moon, your brain could be made of gold. You've got universes inside you. You're a fucking multiverse all on your own.

How then. How, just how would anyone have the right to bring you down? To make you feel little and inferior? To make you feel like you're nothing ... those people do this, beacuse they dont realize, they are just like you.

And you , you're the content of your character. You're the ambitions that drive you and the goals you set. You're the things that you laugh at and the things that make you wonder. You're the fluttering of you're heart when somebody compliments you on what you're passionate about. You're that anger, that builds up in you, setting the oceans in you ablaze, when you see children being bullied or society being corrupted.

You're that candle of hope in you that keeps burning to create a  better tomorrow. You're the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you love. You're that kiss you give your mother, saying goodnight or you might be that sinking feeling you feel around your parents, beacuse you feel that they never understand you. You're that smile you give to a stranger, just beacuse you felt like it, or you're that feeling of fear you feel around everybody because you dont know who to trust anymore.

You're the tears you cry yourself to sleep at night, and you're the one that spends the next morning  pulling yourself together, while nobody notices.You're a person that always feels like shadows surround you, because you are the light. You're the demons you fight with and you're the battles that rage on inside of you, that nobody knows about. You're the weird quirks that you have that only very few are privileged to experience. You're the hand your best friend holds hoping for reassurance. And You're your favorite flavor of ice-cream. You're the face you make when the alarm clock blares at 5 a.m. after having stayed up till 3 a.m.

You're the mistakes you make every day, and you're the will to improve and change. You're the weird theories you come up with and the weird faces you make. What you might see of yourself is the reflection of you cryin in front of the mirror at 2 a.m. But its sad that you dont get to see your eyes, when they light up, or when they squint as you double over and laugh, the sound so full of life, even if it sounds like a donkey braying. (Because if it does, bonus cuz other people laugh at you laugh!)

And no matter whatever, whoever tells you, all that is you. And every single one of those hopes, those dreams, those memories and those fears are threads, and your soul is a beautiful tapestry that god wove with his compassion, its what makes you, you.
