11.28.12

It's so interesting. Teenagers. The way we all think. It's all the same. Yet so incredibly different.
My friend and I walked out of the high school today, and the sun was so bright. I made the comment. My friend agreed. Then we overheard a guy behind us, whom I didn't know, say how the sun was so bright it hurt his eyes. His friend agreed. I'm not sure why this amazed me so, but it did.
Adolescent thought processes are so similar. We all notice the same little things, yet usually have many separate things on our minds.
Sometimes I just watch. Just watch the people walking by. The people laughing with their friends. The people sitting by themselves. Sometimes I make up stories about their lives, like who they are and what they've been through. Sometimes I just wonder. Who's had their heart broken today? Who's scored 100 percent on their hardest quiz? Who's going to get wasted tonight and regret it tomorrow morning? Everyone has their own story. I want to know those stories. I feel as though I'm missing out. As though there's something better going on in another place at another time.
Does anyone else feel like this? Or are we all just commenting on how bright the sun is...?
