Me and My Thoughts on Literally Everything

after much thought

After a night of thinking, I have realized I most certainly am not in the wrong for any of this. Not at all.

I cannot be blamed for wanting to hold on to insipid dreams of friendship. I feel like that should be in the true nature of every single person.

Furthermore, I cannot be blamed for taking that paper. I cannot be blamed for being angry at nearly everyone.

Do you guys know why I write so much? It isn't because I want to show the world that I can write. It isn't because I want to paint myself as a character.

It's because growing up Muslim, and Lebanese American, stereotypes were forced on me by the time I learned to read.

It's because my parents had to sit and watch this happen to each of their children because there was nothing they could do to fix it. They couldn't show the world any different.

I write because I feel like a majority of the people in my classes at school never listen to me. Should I have to shout to be heard? No. That's the plain and simple answer.

I should be able to speak and have people listen.

And there are some people that listen to what I have to say. They know who they are.

But a majority of people never listen and it's frustrating. So, if no one will listen when I speak, I figure they'll have to listen when I write. I'll give them no other choice.
