Do you know

Its been twenty five minutes
since i've been awake
with each minute that passes
grows a smile that is fake
It'll be the last twenty five minutes
the ones before i sleep
where the pain will remind me
that my heart you still keep.

“Before you go and criticize the younger generation, just remember who raised them.”

Today i was told that i know nothing about good music because the last ten years of music are garbage since the increasing presence of digitized music. I was just too young and "didn't know any better". I thought this to be kind of mean because its not like ive never heard any music made prior to 1990. I do appreciate the craft of real music and do wish todays music was more artistry than technical. Its not my fault i was born with the internet and that i am almost always infront of my computer. I do feel like today's internet age has really disconnected individuals from the real physical and emotional relationships that human kinda relies on for personal evolution. We are taking for granted the skills we learn such as charisma, and interpreting others when conversing in person. Similarly we can say that when it comes to music we've lost the ability to see the beauty that come from artists making mistakes on guitar and working through them, the emotions invested into artists who sit and write each note and feel the beat in their heart the rhythm in their bones.
I do think its also ironic that even though we are of a computer generation all the older generations want to try ipods and internet and chat etc. Maybe in 30 years everyone will talk about something great that came from our generation as well, however i dont know what that would be. Lately im in a search for something, never feelings like myself or knowing who i really am, sometimes i often feel much older than i actually am. So maybe.... my withdrawal from social media, listening to older music, getting involved in creative arts is my way of trying to connect with the things that my generation is missing.

Thats the thing about people who mean everything they say, they think everyone else does too.

I hate liars. Some people dont even realize they are liars until someone tells them. I never lie, i mean i cant be sure im always completely honest but i never say things that i dont mean. I feel bad for the people who walk around constantly lying and disappointing the people around them. All that it means is that this person isnt a real person. We only know ourselves to be alive, and who we are personality wise in the reactions we get from other people. (looking glass self) So these people are not real people since everything they say is just a fabrication. To the rest of the population these people become lost, they lose their integrity and any respect we should have for them. Why would you say things you dont mean? We all know that lying just makes a bigger mess in the end that you will have to either face or clean up.
Today i was reminded that alot of people are liars, say things to settle your concerns one day, but dont think about the consequences for the next. It reminded me of something i had forgotten i already told myself a long time ago. That my friends and the people i want in my life are just people who can keep their word. That when someone says ill be there, i love you, i need you, that they actually mean it. They really really mean it its truth and nothing can change that.
