I've heard that people never grow out of the city they grow up in, and I've also heard that every teenager resents the area they live throughout high school. Everything about Gig Harbor, Washington, in more colorful words than I can describe, screams for everything that I am against. Materialism, consumerism, corporate takeover, authority, and more. There is something very dark lurking in the great northwest that creates such terrible people. Maybe whatever 'this' is can be found everywhere in America. As far as I know it can. The greater populous of an area comes a bigger population of fake people, of sad people, of dumb people, of stoners, alcoholics, drug addicts, racists, conformists, sluts, egocentric douche bag foot ball players... the list continues forever. For people like me we spend our lives avoiding categorization and the overwhelming cliche's that turn our brains into shit. Everybody dies, so make the most of your life; read books, watch shapes form in the clouds, learn as much as possible about everything, try something new, be original, if you think something needs to change, change it, appreciate nature, appreciate originality, let what truly doesn't matter slide, don't hold anything back, catch yourself if you see yourself becoming someone you don't want to be. The amount of life in years matters exceedingly more than the amount of years in life.
