There was a time when we didn't have a care in the world. When we chose to worry about the little things because that was all we could think about. When we didn't realize what it meant to be in the real world.

By we I mean the young and naive. It wasn't like we had a choice, for how would we know any better? When you get older you get lost in the world, and by lost. I mean programmed into a system where following the code of the system is the only thing deemed normal. Nobody considers the past because there is only the bright future to look forward to. There can be no bright future if everyone in it is shades of gray.

There are so many more important things other than what she said about you, or how he didn't text you back. Instead of thinking of revenge, or thinking of ways to make him smile even though he cheats on you, go cure cancer or feed some children in Africa.

Nowadays it is very hard for us to grasp what the bigger picture is because we are so enveloped in ourselves that we have forgotten that kindness is all it takes to truly be human with the times. We are choking on the thought of being something beyond ourselves. The pain of possibilities keeps us numb to the point that the word change is something we push to the back of our minds, and our mind holds it close telling us that everything is fine the way that it is, whispering it to sleep longer.

There are simply too many problems in the world, which I understand for it is an information overload. But what happened to standard happiness? What happened to raw emotion breaking the dawn with screams of the night and realizing that beauty in nature matters rather than the mirror? What happened to raw life, raw biting lifestyles that understood morals were a religion and values were breathing with ecstasy?

We've forgotten somewhere in the despair and tragedy that it is normal to cower in normalcy and live the way we do because we were told that we should. But who speaks out for those who see things the right way but can't be fortunate enough to be a part of the program? Who speaks out for the damned but worthy of the cause?
