Do you know something funny?

People say they love you.

They say you're the best person on the world.

They say they love you and cherish you and don't take you for granted.

God that is such a lie.

Because if people actually meant that,

There would be a lot more single people out there.

Marriage, dating, fuckbuddies,

It's about the commitment.

And the only thing people are committed to now is giving up.

Giving up on life,

Giving up on school,

Giving up on relationships.

If they were going to give up anyway,

Why did they say they were gonna make that commitment?

Why did they lie and say they were gonna stay forever and be with eachother?

I can tell you why.

Because they want attention.

Because they crave the need to feel special.

Because all that matters is social status.

These girls will be hoes,

These guys will have sex with the first person they may their eyes on.

These people value quantity over quality.

These girls believe in the power of pretty.

These boys will judge you based on your Instagram followers.

They look like they have great lives.

They seem to be fine.

But ask them what they want for christmas,

Ask them what they like to do,

Ask them what they want for their birthday,

Ask them what they want to be,

And they will stare at you with a blank face.

They want attention,

They want acceptance,

They want to be special and cherished and noticed.

So they'll make these lies.

They'll put false smiles on their faces and pretend they're okay.

They'll cheat and play around with relationships and even friendships.

And why?

Why?

If all that matters is society,

If attention makes us happy,

Then the numbers of followers online are more important than our psychological being.

And the amount of people you've encountered is above our future.

Isn't that just the funniest thing ever?
