Wednesday the 29th of January 2025 and it was all a game, you know, going to school. I mean I'm not necessarily trying to say that school in itself was a game because school was an establishment, school was an authority but the social aspects of school like you know break
times and you know running around at the playground, it was all a game like at some point and I you know for my for my personal case like this kind of like started happening closer to the end of my secondary school years and definitely throughout the entirety of my kind of
like college you know kind of not college but you know because in the UK we call it um what do we call it we call it sixth form sixth form or whatever it is and college isn't college as either way like it was all a game like this whole comparison thing like for some reason I never really wanted to be a contender and what is it that I'm talking about like there was always this kind of like feeling of having to keep up with the Joneses like I was either bullied for not having if I
didn't have a good phone I was bullied for having a for not having a good phone if I didn't have like clean trainers or kind of like the shoes that people wanted to wear, I was you know I was mocked or bullied for that. Bullied is a bit of a big is a bit of a strong word so I'm gonna refrain from using that but I was mocked effectively, mocked because I just didn't I either didn't literally for not indulging like what if I just wasn't interested what if I just didn't care like it was all a game and then
literally you know everybody picks on each other for what it is that they don't have and everybody praises each other for the things that they do have that effectively agrees with whatever status quo was going around. Stuff like, you know, I don't really want to bring up examples but it was so annoying, it was so annoying how you could literally get picked on for something as stupid as you don't even have a decent mobile phone. That really rubbed me off the wrong way because you don't know, you know, as children, what income revenues and what assets did we have to be able to cough out
to have a good freaking phone. Like imagine just being laughed at for being poor. Like, you know, you don't even know what somebody's going through that that's the best phone that they can freaking pull out of their pocket, you know. Like there used to be times where, like, you know, you don't know what their parents are like, you don't know what background they're like, and this is literally the culture at times. It's this sifting and sorting and deciding who goes up here, who stays down
here and who's in the middle. It's all a game. And as soon as I kind of started recognizing that, I just thought, you know what, like, it's just nonsense. It's just nonsense. Live your best life, as I'm living my best life, and forget about what people think. People's opinions and thinking, especially when they're hardwired to work within this system, are just basically just as useful as the, you know, as the contents of your trash can. Like honestly, all of these opinions don't matter.
Live your life and so long as you are happy, that is it. Everybody else can go through the freaking door and make sure that the door doesn't smack them on the freaking way out.
