Kinda my philosophy

Some quotes from Mike's journal:

One thing struck me: a lot of people are really self-centered and egocentric. Well, you could expect that from a blog. But how can you get love and attention from an anonymous blog? Duh.

You have to understand my point of view. I accepted the concept that I'll never be loved by anyone outside my family, even just a little. Obviously, the first few years it was pretty difficult to accept that, but now I accept it. Really.

So when I read posts like "I want to be loved! PLEEEEAAAASE!", and people being depressed because they're not loved, I get angry. Get over it. No one will love you. So either spend the rest of your life sobbing, or accept it. We call that "maturity".

Hold me accountable for this: Next time I look forward to a school break, don't EVER let me get my hopes up. Even when things look like they're going to be great, the dynamics of life make everything shift around before you even have a chance. Potential is nothing. It's what actually comes out that matters. And that never lives up to the potential.

I was talking about futures and stuff and how I've been so undecided on things for years that I might as well be at McDonalds in a few years. A friend told me to never talk like that again. Said I had the potential to do great things.

I'm saying it. Never let me get my hopes up. Potential, even though it's a logical thing to believe in, means absolutely nothing until it happens.

Life gets no breaks. Well? I'm still fighting. And I'll keep fighting. I have a mission now. And unless you're going to help me or be at my side or keep me sane and happy, piss off for the time being--I'm in the zone. I wish everyone on earth (particularly at school) could hear this.
