Well, I was going through the first lesson in my Corrispondance course, and it's unlike anything I've ever been taught in regular school. This first course is Consumer Skills, which teaches about taxes and all that fun stuff. Something that's actually important.

But, it got me thinking. Life is so complicated. Basically, you have to pay to live, which struck me as really sad. Many thoughts have flowed through my head as I was going through the lesson; I had to keep telling myself that thinking about it won't get me anywhere. Just focus. Focusing is the key, you'll have time to think things over later.

Life is pretty much just getting a job and saving up for retirement, among other things of course.. knowing this, I don't want to be some average person. I don't want to worry about taxes, about money, about retirement. I want the world to know I exist. I want to be someone.

Yesturday, I watched Stephen King's The Secret Window for the first time, and it's amazing how much Johny Depp's character was so much like me. Lazing around, thinking about things, fighting with your own mind. Maybe I'll be a writer.

Reading through that lesson was like a punch in the face: I have to get ready for the real world. Sure, I can still study on my own about the paranormal and other things I'm interested in.. but I have to get ready for real life, and it's scary.

Speaking of studying the paranormal, I really wish there was a highschool where I could learn that kind of stuff.. maybe there is. Or even better, a school like Hogwarts. Damn, I wish there was such a place so bad. Where magic was truly a part of everyday life.

Even though I am reading about the real world, about taxes etc, that won't stop me from entering my own little world. A world I wish was physical, and real. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
