The world is God’s playground. It’s not that I’m Christian but I think I heard that line from a movie somewhere. There’s a reason why that line was ever invented.
BigSis told me once how I use the phrase “That’s so high school” a lot. It’s true. I use it more frequently than a person who’s weak synonymously. I guess it goes back to the days when I was quite assured that high school is the ONLY crossroad in life, which was like two seconds ago.
So, some people learn after high school; some learn through the mistakes they’ve made during high school but what about those who never learnt? Movies were made where geeks become the richest people and the school jocks and prom queens end up with kids, fat at home. Stereotyping was one of the many things that originated from high school. My high school life was fucked.
I was lost. I wanted to belong somewhere. I didn’t know what was going on most of the time. I could be easily lured to opinions. I was pretty much affected by every small little things in life. One day, everything would be easy whereas the next would be covered with such drama it would make me wonder where did things go wrong.
Growing up was not easy as much but it was worth it. I somehow opened up to the option that we could learn from things we do and mistakes we’ve made in the past. I started to regret less and walk firmer. But somehow, I used to let others get me down.
So, whatever happened to those who never grew up since high school? The immaturity still sticks with them and goes on.
It’s not about age. It’s not really that much about experience. It’s about how you are accepting yourself as a person to be able to better yourself each and everyday.
At this age, I have seen a girl who is so insecure about herself she needs to always pretend to be someone else by being angry at what others think about her and claim she owns the right to have the rightest opinions all the time. I have seen a man who thinks male and female are two different things that kinda differ in loudness, power and abilities; not to forget how he would carry on something as if he knows. I have seen an angry girl who thinks she can better her surroundings to others, when she herself has been angry with a lot of people; yes yes, it’s true what they say about pushing limits but at times, you have to look in the mirror and see how angry you’ve become. I have also seen an ex boyfriend who didn’t know what to do with his life and was using temporary pleasure as milestones in his life. I have seen an ex dater who is quite indecisive about things in life since he can have it all but let’s just say he’s quite settled for now. I have seen a woman who corrects herself by thinking she’s right and thinking others are wrong despite negotiations endeavored.
Everyone mentioned above are within the age range of 28 to 60. Now, this is not high school. It’s immaturity at its best. Tonight, an empty queen sized bed and a quiet night has finally made sense that life is directly proportional to maturity level. The more mature you get, the more you get outta life.
It’s sad to see those people suffering from things they invite themselves. I wish them the best…
And what’s my learning point today?
Well, not to ever be affected by negative people around me. They’re not high school. They just have to learn more in life.
Does this make me the smartest person?
Nope.. I still have lots to learn.
But, as of today, I can STOP using the word ‘too high school’ for the people around me.
