because i wanted you to know

High school is not a time of finding yourself. High school is a time of losing yourself, over and over, until, inevitably, you slip into a labyrinth.

And you constantly feel this empty void in the pit of your stomach, the feeling you get when you're missing something, or when you have the thought that you should be doing more. And maybe you should be.

Maybe you should be doing more than going to parties on the weekend where you have to put on your fake smile and project your fake voice and hangout with fake people.

Maybe you should be doing more than taking two naps a day and binge watching a tv series while avoiding the homework that's due.

Maybe you should be doing more than playing a sport you really don't even like.

Maybe you should be doing more than worrying about who's popular and who's hot and who's not.

But you're in high school, so if you even began to put your energy into other things, people are going to worry about you. And there you are, in the labyrinth, because you think that you're happy, I mean, you have no reason not to be right? But you aren't, not really.

In a rare case scenario, however, you might find someone who makes things a little easier, who takes some of the pain away, even if it's just for a little while.
