Imagine – you’re walking along a lush country lane, everything is perfect. The leaves on the trees are green, the sun beams a warming smile on you and rolling hills of fields flow into the distance. It’s heaven. But then, just as you are floating in happiness, a great problem is thrust upon you – you come to a fork in the path. One way leads to a land of luxuriousness and the best quality of life. Nothing could possibly go wrong. The other way, is your old friends whom you loved and admired. They bring you back old memories that make you smile outside as well as in. Which way?
The answer may seem simple – to you at least – but it’s a completely different story for me. It’s all very well taking the first path which takes you to the land of your dreams, but what about your old friends, whom you will never ever see again? Friendship is a very strong thing indeed – perhaps even stronger than love. But, if you go back to your old friends, then you’re in for a ride. You still continue to talk to them, but another thing crops up: Disagreement. Falling out. Envy. Either way, both paths have their ups and downs, some worse than others, but there’s only one way. You have to make your decision. There and then.
The point I’m getting at is that I am somewhat uncomfortable with the current circumstances. It would be mean and unpleasant to leave you all and to try to forget about you, just to have a better way of living. That would be selfish. But, on the other hand, I feel left out of the group. An oddball. I feel that I’m being put down, ignored, over-looked. Forgive me if I’m being fantastical, but that’s how I feel.
Another scenario: You are in a very dark place. You can’t see a thing, apart from the eternal blackness. You don’t know how big or how small this place is. It could be another planet for all you know. You stand up, slowly. You make your way forward and you hit something. You get pushed violently backwards into another one. You get pushed again – to the right. You hit another one and start to travel in all points of the compass, getting more and more disorientated by the second. You are in a bully circle. These ‘things’ you are being pushed into are negative elements that are in this world – anger, sadness, envy, disappointment, hatred and lots more. Each time you hit them you feel them. Badly.
That smiling boy with brown hair and blue glasses is just the outside. Inside, is a completely different matter. It’s a roller-coaster of emotions for me. First, way up high in the sky, feeling the wind rushing past, feeling that nothing could dissolve my happiness. Then, noticing the giant drop right in front and falling down it in sheer terror, right into a small lake. Getting drenched by those evil elements that cunningly escaped from Pandora’s Box that pollute my life. And the worst bit – knowing that life will never be perfect.
The above are all entirely my thoughts and viewpoints. This post was written so that all of you (my friends) know how I feel. If you want to share something with me about this then I would greatly appreciate it if you would comment.

It’s pH1, by the way… You get hydrochloric acid from your stomach, it breaks down microbes. That’s the end of the Science lesson! 
We watched a video which wasn’t too bad. I got taken out of class to talk to an inspector! 
I am writing a crime story. It needs a lot of planning…
There’s loadsa new stuffs happening, though. For one, these ‘royal inspectors’ or some random people and coming to visit my school. Haha, the teachers are scared to death… 
Also, since it’s getting darker earlier (well in the UK at least!) there has to be a slight timetable change so that it’s not pitch-black when we’re trying to do hockey or summin’… And we will be doing Christmas-related stuff! Woo! 
) Everyone confuses the violin with the viola, and it gets me so angry. 
I wasn’t too happy about that… 
The office one is just, well… messed up, I s’pose.
