Fasten your seatbelts, everyone, I've never been this pissed at the world.
~This is the Age of Apathy~
And the world doesn't know which way it's spinning out of control.
Dear Stranger,
I know now that I was born in the wrong place and time.
Most specifically time.
If I was born a hundred years ago, the moment I grew up (whatever age that might be,) I would grab some food and my riding dress and hop onto my horse
~Legend of Zelda style~
Armed with the dagger hidden in folds of homespun dress
And the glowing words hidden in my heart.
I would ride until I found you--distance would never be a problem--and never give up until I could collapse in your arms.
Back then it was okay to speak your feelings. You faced the problems love brought you; you didn't deny it in the first place. There were no divorces, no one night stands. Love was absolute. People had feelings then.
Yes, I have feelings. ANd I'm not afraid of them.
I'd tell you everything, Stranger...but it's the wrong TIME. Back then I'd have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But now...scorn falls upon the fairy-tale sort of love. My heart can only be broken.
In this era, this generation, speaking your feelings is WRONG. Loving is WRONG. Compassion, kindness, happiness is wrong wrong WRONG. It's the Age of Apathy. But I'm tired of being so damn apathetic! I was sinking into it--I was trying to escape the apathy by becoming apathetic myself. But you saved me from THAT hell, and this stupid world and all its smoke and mirrors.
I wish I could tell you this face-to-face, but according to modern culture, you're a lecherous rapist-stalker combo and I'm a misguided overpassionate whore. The shrinks would call you wishful thinking; they'd call me love-deprived, love-starved, and yes I am, but because of the world they made, and its slogan: DOWN WITH LOVE.
Love doesn't exist. This can never last. I'll get over it. I won't find my "true love" (that fairytale fantasy, lost forever, now a symbol of money and stability) until I'm much older. I can't win; I'm an idiot for even trying. This is the age of marrying (maybe), making children (definitely), of comfort and security and "happiness" at every turn. NOT OF LOVE.
I'll regret this for my entire life.
Hah. Well what the HELL.
Do you know what, world?
I'll regret this
ONLY if I stay silent
ONLY if I never tell him
Because I'll be up every night of my life
Wondering what might have been.
MY way, at least I know.
My way, at least I have a heart, even if it is
smudged and broken by rejection.
You know what, world?
I want empathy, not apathy.
I want love, and I'll take it.
What's the worst that can happen?
I lose a friend, okay.
A best friend? That's all right.
Whatever makes him happy.
But if I say nothing, I lose love.
So suck it, Age of Apathy.
"I believe that it's never too late"
"I THINK I CAN"
You think I'm wrong?
Well...
I DON'T CARE.
I love you.
Hear that, world?
LOVE.
Yeah, I said it.
What now?
~I love you.~
Well, world, now you know.
And the world doesn't know which way it's spinning out of control.
