so. this is my life.. and it's ending one minute at a time... where i am now.. i can't even imagine the bottom. (ha, i found a song.) people are not stepping stones. they don't deserve to be walked on to get higher.. either in status or ego. but, so many of them are used like that. i see this happen year after year.. friends better themselves.. complete strangers better themselves.. with a little effort they move up the social ladder.. working out their little quirks to conform. i don't understand how those once so low will turn around and use people like that. remember your friends from last year? how many of them have you deserted to get with the "better" crowd? are you embarrassed to say hi? wow, are you cool now that you're impressing people.. that you've become the funny guy.. the nice guy.. respectable, popular.. all high-and-mighty? sure as hell you are. when you have everything, don't care about the little people.. don't remember your origins or struggles.. they'll only bring you down. or if you do reflect, point to the past and laugh. you were once a nobody and now look at you.. look at all you've overcome.. look to the future.. be forever happy.. ignore the useless ones who aren't motivated enough to change. cuz hey. if you put forth the effort to become a decent human being, everyone else should do the same. be oblivious. smile as everyone around you fades out and you lose touch with the people who once cared... because those stones at the bottom never move.. they'll always be there for you to ignore once you've risen past them.. or to use to get your head back in the clouds. but people don't deserve that treatment.
let's just hope that the past will eventually [hopefully sooner than later] bite him?her? in the ass =ox -g1
((now i know why mommy always said "don't talk to strangers"...))
