Advice To My Younger Self

Advice For My Younger Self...
If I had advice for my younger self I would tell them that life is a complicated thing. Difficult almost. They want to see who can survive the difficult challenges of life. I would also tell them that life doesn't treat you any better because you are a good person. That statement took me a long time to accept. No matter how smart and kind and intelligent you are people will still hate you just because you are better than them . I would give them a side note that the government and society do not believe in inequality. There is always one race, gender, age group or religion that will be left out. I could also say that school is worthless. The parents and teachers that will shame you for dropping out will be the same people trying to get in your good graces when you become something. That little argument with that girl wasn't worth it. That beating around the bush type thing you did with your crush will be forgotten. That group of friends you dropped sophomore year won't matter anymore. All of the bad things you endured through your teenage years never compared to adult life.The moments in your room when you sat under the covers and prevented a single tear from falling. or the family functions you dreaded because of the judgment. They don't matter anymore. They almost simply fade away. the last thing I would say to myself is that nothing is ever guaranteed in life and we need to show appreciation before it's too late because all of us will have a moment in our lives when we sleep peacefully forever.

When I Am Older

I want a large house. Large enough to keep it all for myself. In the kitchen I want a table. A table large enough to fit a million people. Not because I want a million people to sit with me,but because when I’m alone I can feel surrounded. Next to that table I want huge windows that let me see the world even when I can’t leave and I’m silently still. I want dozens of flights of stairs that circle to the ceiling because when I’m alone I can pretend I’m in a fairytale escaping from the life I wish I never had. I don’t want any pets to mourn my death when I’m gone. I don’t want flowers or cups or placemats in my house as a reminder that I’ll forever be alone and the only person to keep me company is myself. I want a library in my house because it stores so many genres of books. If my life is as lonely as I think it will be the library will be there to fill my head with dozens of adventures I could never dream of being on. In the back of my house I want a pool. A really big pool so when I’m sad I can wash away my tears. I can fall deep to the bottom and fade into a portal of my own imagination. You might ask why I want to live alone and sometimes I’m not sure ,but when I grow up I’ll be sitting at that table next to the windows and the flights of stairs and the library and the pool constantly hearing the movement of the clock waiting for someone to join me at the table
