If I Could Change the World

If I could change the world, I would get rid of churches, bullets, and video games. Why, you ask? I'll tell you in the words to follow.

Churches are first on my hit list. How many times have we been forced to go into a building where we didn't belong, sit among people that didn't belong, and listen to words that didn't belong in our lives? It's like everyone thinks that to be a good person you have to dress up and parade among an endless mass of fake people who claim to be holy, but all have secrets so deep that satan would be chilled in his own skin. Finding God doesn't depend on the sermons held on Sunday, it depends on what we learn and feel.

Bullets are close behind. Why not guns? Because without bullets guns are just a useless object. Bullets turn them into power. Death, fear, and sadness have all exponentially increased since bullets were first used. Security, trust, and confidence have all exponentially decreased since their first usage. People now buy guns to defend the possible idea of an intrusive bullet. No one is safe, and there's no good reason for it.

Last, I would get rid of video games. I know that I'm not the only person who knows someone who wasted their life away on these colorful inventions. Watching the world pass by a person you care about while their face is glued to a TV screen, their hands to a controller, is hard. You feel powerless and worried about them. Not only known for sucking away people's lives, they're also infamous for changing the very way people think. Turning them unexpectedly to violence and suicide. The six or so hours a day becomes more very quickly.


I believe that were these items exposed of and never used again, we would see a happier world with a higher success rate and less pain. If only the world would realize the damage done by these objects. So there's why I would get rid of churches, bullets, and video games.

My Favorite Mistake

I grabbed my extra merch money, my ticket, the keys, and went to get Maya. She was surprised when it was me driving, but didn't ask any more questions after I explained. I guess she was equally as determined to attend the concert as I was.

The drive up went smoothly, though we both sweat the whole time with worry. The concert was just as we expected and we had an uneventful drive back in a car full of two extra kids in need of a way home and all the purchased band merch. I was completely happy and carefree... Until I got home.

He was waiting by the gate when I pulled up. My dad. Something you need to know about his wrath is that it's 10x worse than my mom's. I was strictly grounded for the first time in my life for one whole month. No phone, no friends, no tv, no outside privileges. I wasn't even allowed to go when the family went bowling. Everyday it was wake up, go to school, come back, do homework at the kitchen table, go to my room until dinner, come up, eat, shower, brush teeth, bed. I literally did nothing. It was different, since before when I got grounded my parents were lenient and it didn't feel like I was really grounded at all.


Needless to say I never did anything equally as extreme again. That emo concert was not worth the aftermath, and I learned how serious my parents' punishments could be. This is definitely my favorite mistake. It was the beginning of the end of my extreme stage.

Twitter Memoir

On my first day of school, Mom forgot to get me. After waiting for hours for her to show up, Adria was driving by with her mom. They came to the rescue and I finally got home.
