Adolescence

Junior year is the year where everyone discovers who they are. I've been seeing people change and evolve into terrible individuals. Due to my self-discovery a year ago, I can only grimace in pain while watching everyone lose innocence and spiral into madness and confusion. Affected by the negative energy, I haven't been doing that well myself. Constantly contemplating the solution, and the reason to my misery, I knew it had to do with the air around me... the negativity drew me away from people.

I was unable to deal with anybody, including myself and my friends. Yesterday, I was invited to partake in a Nerf Gun battle. 'How adolescent...' I thought to myself. There was no positive or negative connotation to this thought, but I was hesitant due to my recent inability to be around people. I still went.

After the battle, I was exhausted from hours of sprinting and hiding in the dark. However, I felt thoroughly refreshed. I knew that chemically, my endorfins acted up and revitalized me, but I also realized that I was only connecting to the very root of my existence: adolescence. The creation of our entire character is built upon those early years, and It reminded me of the good in life. I felt that after this experience, I was given another beginning. Would I spend all my effort in school? Or music? I knew that the energy surrounding me was neutral, and I was capable of doing anything. Just what would I chose...
