Worries of Youth
Is it raining outside today? Or is it sunny?
Let me check my phone.
Nevermind, I really don't care either way.
I don’t have time to enjoy the weather anymore, I'm too busy.
Everything is go go go, or slow slow slow.
Life was a breeze when I was younger, but now I'm older.
I'm 18, but it doesn't feel like I'm 18.
I feel like I'm 9, I've only been alive like 9 years.
Why is so much expected of me? What's that all about.
It's a shame, I have to go to college soon and get a job.
Can’t I catch a break? That’s gonna be a lot of stress, and I already feel burned out.
I don’t have the same motivation I used too, I guess everyone feels this way, but I’ll put the blame on covid.
They say time flies when you’re having fun.
Except I don’t think I’ve been having that much fun though lol, I’ll just be time skipping.
I’ll sit down to do schoolwork at like 2 o’clock and then I check my phone, get something to eat, stare at my computer screen, then BOOM, 6 hours will go by, and then day is over.
What did I do today? I don’t remember it was kind of a blur.
If I live until im 70, then that means i'll have 52 years left to live, that seems like a decent amount of time right? Wrong.
Apparently, we spend a third of our lives sleeping, and will spend around 7 years looking at our phones, and who knows maybe you'll go to bed one night and wake up old. yikes
Ok ok ok ok ok
I guess it sounds like I'm complaining, but really I am just stressing.
I am always stressing and worry about things, things that aren’t even relevant, but I think that it's because you only live once
You gotta spend your time wisely, and try to live with no regrets, but at this point in my life I have to make a lot of big decisions it feels like, and I am not ready for all the changes.
