Just some thoughts

So I'm a pretty young bloke, only 16 years old, and I consider myself a bit immature for my age. Oftentimes, I act like someone I'm not, because I'm ashamed of who I really am, because I'm only a little kid. So every day, I study other people. Watch them, learn from them. It's amazing how different two similar persons can be.

Someone once told me that the first step towards wisdom is knowing how little you know. And I'm big on this whole self-awareness thing. I consider myself pretty stupid, despite getting good grades, I still lack a whole lot in social knowledge, and most of my knowledge are useless facts.

For my age, I've been travelling a lot, seen many countries in many different parts of the world. And what's stricken me is the similarity between people. A muslim from Turkey is in no way different from an atheist from Brazil, except minor traditions, their personalities are still similar, despite growing up in different environements. This is interesting, because it taught me how basic human behavior is. Everyone's the same, after you get rid of the unecessary details.

I consider myself stupid, as I said, because I am. I'm in no way greater than any other being, everyone has something to teach me or to remind me of, so I try to learn from everyone, and be as good a person as I can be. I care a lot for the people around me, like many others do. And the greatest part of my day is when I make someone smile.

Yesterday I met a little girl when I was buying groceries, and I made some funny faces, which made her laugh. And that was enough for me to be happy that day, knowing that for even just a second, I made someone happier, and that is how I try to live every day of my life, improving it slightly for people around me, and then learn from them. So I can become a better person.

I believe in equality, not the kind of equality everyone's talking about, with colour and gender, I couldn't care less if my best friend was black or homosexual or something, it doesn't change who she is. I believe in equality based on persons, the president of America is no greater than the hobo living on the bench outside his office, or the kid doing drugs every night. Because deep down, everyone cares about someone, and there's always someone helping them through the day, one way or another. I try to be that person for as many people as possible.

If my life was a movie, I wouldn't be the protagonist, or even one of his friends, I'd most likely be one of the people in the crowd, just walking there, only appearing for a split second, but that would be totally okay. I do not care for fame or money, I want to improve the life of everyone, by improving myself. I'm in no way a leader, but I can lead if I have to, but most of the time I'm happy just trying to set a good example, and let someone else be the guy in charge.



So anyway, just spent a week on Rhodos in Greece, was awesome and met soem interesting people, what's been happening around here?

Nice post City.  And having those feelings and belief's just prove that you are a good person.  You actually sound very comfortable in your skin, which is a good place to be at 16.  When I was 16 I was all over the place and acting seriously dumb to boot.

Feeling uncertain or a 'little out of your league' at 16 is totally normal, after all there is a hell of lot of things to experience.  I felt a lot better about myself when I realized at 16 I was expected to make stupid mistakes and occasionally look like a fool.

Yeah listen to Meroe, don't worry so much about being a grown-up when you're 16. Though it's of course good that you want to improve yourself, especially if it means helping others.
Anyways nice post, good to have you back.

Well, travelling a lot has helped me understand that our small world is quite big, so I feel slightly out of my league, but not in the sense that I feel insignificant, more in the sense that I have no idea what I want to do in my life, 'cept helping others, but I can't survive on that.

There's many ways to help others , then there's many ways to attempt to help them, but **** up in the process (like our dear friend ), but you seem to be getting the hang of it, hence why I said NJ, you even made me laugh and put me in a good mood.

Hehe, helping can be done in more ways than trying to solve their problems, most of the time, you won't be able to solve people's problems, but sometimes it's enough to stand by their side on the road, and they will solve them themselves.

Of course, that's not always the case, I have a very dear friend, who's having countless problems, relationship problems, problems with her parents, and this is putting so much stress on her, she's failing in school as well. I try my best to help her, I spend a lot of time with her. Oftentimes, I can't do much more than cheer her up, but it seem to be enough to help her through every day. So every day, I try to make her smile, if even just once, just to show that I care.

That's often all you can do City.  You are there for her, she can sound off to you, you cheer her up.  You absolutely help her.  And at 16 you can't really be expected to do any more.

Just by being a good friend to people and listening to their woe's is often the only thing that needs to be done.  People always need a friend, someone to cry too etc.

Yeah, I hope one day she'll solve her problems, she's an amazing being, but is too caught up in them to be herself. She'll bloom one day though, I hope it's soon.

Yeah, looking back, I was extremely childish when I joined, it was four years ago, meaning I was only twelve, so I kind of had an excuse to be childish, but I was still extreme.

I'd be lying if I said this place haven't been important for me, not only in the sense that it taught me most of my English, it was also for a long time the place I'd go to when I needed a good laugh, or help. I was never much for supporting the community, mostly because my interest in Heroes faded shortly after I joined, and I really had nothing else to contribute with, I tried sometimes, but never really did anything worthwhile, although I intend to be a good member, since I care about this place, and want to improve it in my own way.

Many people here have been really helpful towards me, giving me advice and generally improving my days, I hope I've done the same for some and will be able to in the future.

And thanks for moving it to the tavern, I was thinking about posting it here, but since I'm more or less only a wasteland lurker, I posted it there.

You're a nice member and a nice guy Carcity. I'm genuinely sorry if it ever seemed I was trying to give you any trouble in past years (I have some vague memory of a thread called something like "Why does Cepheus hate me...")

Hehe, yeah, I have a slight memory of that as well, to be honest though, I've always looked up to you, cause I've seen you as one of the most intelligent people I've never met. Although I might have made a thread like that, my perception of things haven't been the best.

Funny, when I was about your age, I always thought that I'd be the supporting character in a story.

Yes, this post was made, just so I could be all "You know, when I was your age... Blablabla... Young whippersnappers on my lawn..."

And 4 years from now you'll be looking back at your post and think:
"What the snow was I drinking when I wrote this?"

Because that's just how it goes when you grow and change.

But man, nice post.


PS. Deep down, some people just don't give a snow.

EDIT: I vote for editing the name to something more memorable and more informative.

Probably, I was an idiot four years ago and I'm probably still one today, and will be one in four years.

And I believe everyone cares about something, even if it's themselves or stuff like that, everyone has to have something important in their lives, otherwise they'd have no point in living.

The name was mostly because I couldn't think of anything better, this have been on my mind for a few days and I wanted to share it with you guys.
