Our generation is lost.

This will only be a short post.
Marty has once again inspired me. He tends to do that a lot.

The idea that our generation of teens is very superficial and take away things of meaning to the few of us who do not follow the trends of spelling words with only consonants or abbreviating a series of words into letters such as 'hru' or 'ily'. Marty was right in saying that the meaning of the word love has been so stretched and disfigured that nowadays it doesn't mean a lot to say to someone that you love them. I can admit I used to be like that and I am so glad that I have moved on and hopefully matured.

Low cut tops, short skirts and mini shorts are continuously in fashion no matter how hideous they can look. The more skin the better apparently, news to me. I used to think I had to dress like that to fit in and it disgusts me. Even though it may not be so obvious but there is always that subtle peer pressure to fit in and conform with the trends and unfortunately I wasn't as strong willed as I am now. Although I still get that twinge of wondering what I would be like if I had followed the path that the majority seems to follow. I know I wouldn't have met such great people, whom I am friends with now. I know many people who have gone with the pack but do not actually realise it would openly and naively deny it. I find it very sad that people need to dress like that to feel beautiful or get attention. If only they could open their eyes to see that a lot of people do care about personality and confidence. Oh well. They'll eventually figure it out and hopefully sooner rather than later.

Right now, I am craving Liam. I haven't seen him since last Tuesday and we have only been able to speak for 5 minutes on the phone once because he is in Sydney and out of range. It's driving me nuts.
