Code to crack the Hoopla.
Well, I've known people who were friends when they were kids and their friendship is still stronger than ever. I made like a million friends so far and now that I'm in twelth standard, I have friends that I can count on my fingers who were there for me in my kindergarten and are still there for me so I can actually count on them. I hope they'll be there for me forever.
Although there's one more truth that's universally acknowledged that "nothing stays forever". Hard to accept but true. Some of us choose to make our peace with it while some of us choose to be rebellious. We have to admit it anyways. Since we are a teenager at this moment, we like to make fake scenarios and create a world of our own imagination. Most of the things in this imaginary world are based on High School Rom-Com movies.
High school Rom-Coms have made all of us so desperate to have a social group which is extremely popular, have tons of fun and is so adventurous that they can even save the planet from an alien invasion.
I find this lame. In movies there's an exaggerated version of everything. From characters to their lives and their whole aura is set in a complete different world. I never saw these movie characters actually studying but getting into an Ivy League School doing nothing. I never saw them actually touching a book but they score so well in their SATs and when it comes to their GPA it's always more than Eight and sometimes even Ten.
I dream of having a life like that. You go to school when there's an upbeat music playing in the background, greeting everyone in the school with those cool handshaking techniques, being the center of attraction, being appreciated by the teachers for no reason,being everyone's favorite while doing nothing and most importantly school principal being your fan.
Boy oh boy! That's what you call a crazy life.
But in real world you don't get to have a life as good as that. In real world it sucks. It sucks so hard to make you sick enough to loose your mind. You have to slog your ass to get good grades and keep up with everything going on the internet to look cool. Sometimes you find yourself hallucinating when your teacher is teaching something boring and harangueing through his voice but the piece of chalk that hits your head breaks the illusion and brings you back to the reality.
Being someone else other than being yourself is the key to be the Marshmellow of your school.
Now I think I've cracked the code, but trust me it feels awful to be one of those attention seekers, because at night when you go to bed you get ultimate guilt instead of ultimate satisfaction. I know this because I've been friends with people who used to be one of those crack heads.
Well, now that I know how to handle all the shit that happens in your school, I've made my peace with not having that cool group of friends that saves the world from monsters or break world records with their genius freaking minds and stay friends with each other to their last breath.
I'm okay with losing people and this is the part of this whole process. You lose, you grow and you overcome. You like it or not but you'll have to heal one day. You'll have to make new friends, you'll have to imagine all of that cool stuff again, you'll have to greet disappointment, you'll have to be miserable again, you'll have to deal with trauma, you'll have to deal with your ruined sleep cycle but that's fine. That is totally fine because now you know the algorithm of the process. You know how it all works. You know when to jump in and when to ditch and destroying that imaginary world where everything goes according to your plan can help a lot. It'll hurt at first but you'll get along soon. Try to prevent yourself by becoming a familiar figure for someone and someone being familiar to you too. I know you'll find your magic beans some day just like Rachel did. Enjoy the process, be a part of it, let others think what they want to think and be the best version of yourself every single day, So that when you look back at your life, you have more memories than regrets. By the end you'll have a Million reasons to smile and not to cry. You'll love all of it, every bit of this whole experience.Just make sure you know how to make the balance. Balance is the key.
