School... sucks as usual. And yet, I remain happy and practically worry-free. Stress? Be Gone!
I was having some thoughts today. Those thoughts were about popular opinion. I was thinking about how high school is one giant Rumor Mill, and gossip is like a big game of telephone. If you tell people anything even remotely interesting, it is known by everyone in a matter of hours. And they never get the story quite right. If you listened to gossip, it's possible to believe that I get drunk "all the time;" had a threesome; and/or smoked weed with Sarah, Helena, and Nate over Thanksgiving Break. In short, one could be led to believe that I am an irresponsible, casual sex enthusiast.
Ordinarily, I don't care what the Masses think of me. If they don't want to get to know me, if they want to judge or disapprove of me without meeting me, that's their loss. It's when I think I know people, and they end up telling me, or others, untruths about me, that I get upset. The whole thing with Rob turned out to be a misunderstanding, but it concerns me to think that people who I think of as friends might disapprove of me. I try so hard not to judge my friends. Because there's a difference between being concerned and being imperious! A true friend isn't someone who looks down on you.
