I wish that everyone could learn to appreciate everyone for who they are. I try very hard to not be judgmental of people and not to dislike anyone without reason. There is a lot of hate for no reason in our society because of jealousy and differences in appearance and economic status. Chicago taught me an important lesson this weekend; some people can't appreciate and enjoy they beauty in our world, instead of exploring the world and discovering the incredible feeling of a flower or a cheetah print wallet, instead of taking in the immense size of a highway sign to milwaukee or the chicago skyline they'd rather just stay in their own little comfortable and safe apartment making fun of people who they're jealous of and don't understand.
This is NOT a good quality in a person. It's an awful thing to hate. I met a man waiting for the el who was very strongly opinionated about hate and racism. There are both blacks and whites who hate the opposite skin color just for the color of their skin. Nobody wants to be hated. He said he'd rather be called a dumb ass mother fucker to his face then for someone to tell him they just straight up hated him. I thought this was extremely profound but that might have just been because i was on drugs.

Gone Daddy Gone
In Psychology we recently were learning about Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development.
people aged 12-19 are supposed to be in the adolescent stage which is where you face identity versus role confusion. this is when you're sposed to find out who you are and what your passions are and who you want to be and shit like that. Well most of my friends and myself are nearing the end of that stage but i'm not sure if we've developed our identity yet. what happens if you don't make the deadline? will you be stuck in role confusion forever? I've never really felt like there wasn't enough time left but now i do. when i talk to people my age i feel like most of them don't know themselves anymore; they don't know what they want to be, what they like to do, or even who they are. So many don't even think they're interesting people anymore. Is this how people this age have always been? Or is it just us.
Erik Erikson is an old fart anyway...and who the fuck is nam
ed Erik Erikson? does he think he's Robin Robinson or so
mething? speaking of robin robinson....I just found out that one of my good friends here who i hang out with every single weekend is Robin Robinson's daughter...how weird is that.
She was telling me how Jeff Jordan who I also know and also goes to my school was hitting on her and telling her how they should hook up since they both have famous chicago parents.
U of I is weird.
