the unexamined life is so much easier to live.

"Ever get the feeling that you're living at the mall?" says the kid who works at Journeys, the shoe store with those rad converse high-tops in the window that I check out every time I pass by.

"Yes! Oh, god, yes," I say, because that is my life: seven days a week, forty hours a week, thirty-one days a month and I am at the mall. I see kids who

love the music, kinda sad but i agree i guess, i feel the same way not about you, but about life in general, and although i dont' show it, you'd be suprised at what i do think about, i just for some reason keep it in, maybe its time for this kid to right a journal entry

you commented, i feel special.

[i_bleed_koolaid]

I don't know, it's not sad, just lonely. I guess.

Whateva. That's life.

I'll catch you on the flip side, yo.

I have no fucking idea who you are, but I like what and how you write : )

[i_bleed_koolaid]

Hi, I'm Cara.

Thank you so much for the compliment. You totally made my day, no joke. Thanks. :)

Hey. Thanks for commenting in my journal.

About your post - somehow this reminds me of just about every lonely movie/song/book I've ever watched/heard/read. That's not a bad thing, it's just kind of funny. But really... your writing is remarkable. You've transcribed into words the exact feeling I get on those days that I stop and really think about my life.

[i_bleed_koolaid]

Ha, thanks. I don't really think my writing is all that great though. More like very typical high-school level melodramatic drivel --- which is what comes out when I stop and think about my life. Cliche, I know.

Anyway, I like your writing. Want to be livejournal friends? Or do you mind if I add you to my friends list?

[mustibeoriginal]

Well just because something is overdone doesn't make it untrue. Often things are cliche because they resonate with so many people. Not that I think your writing is cliche, but there you go.

And sure, I'll be happy to add you as well.
