Taking time to...articulate and understand things.

It's been so long since I've posted on here. I have been extremely smothered with life and how fast it is.

The last post I did was basically the ending of a long learned summer. Although I've learned so much throughout that summer the one thing that I've learned the most is that...when I'm going through life at school it becomes so mundane for me. Just the fact that I'm at school makes me have this feeling of inferiority and emptiness. It's almost as if I can't really even blame the school for this feeling I get while there. I've found that I am prone to just live life very carelessly while going through each semester. It's almost as if I feel like I learn more while I'm living life with others but, being at school doesn't really feel like life. School feels like a temporary hold from actual life. And I understand that It's our job as students to be involved in the community or find a job that will keep you in reality with others. But the time we put into "campus life" or "school work" always overpowers interaction with real life...especially if you live far from home.

I mean...obviously life doesn't stop when your away at college and obviously our purpose isn't to be caught up in our early teen years but to merge on into adulthood ...but it's such a change from the 18 years of living "life" with family, with childhood friends and with your hometown. Also, this all coming from a perspective of someone living away from there actual "home" and I'm not sure what It would be like If you were to experience commuting to college each day. And I'm not saying that my perspective is everyones perspective, but I do believe that some share the same thoughts as mine.

So basically what I'm saying is that...these are some difficult years...and many parents question why their child could be going through such a difficult time that often cannot be "articulated" by them.

It's hard to not have a voice in something your going through because it's so difficult to articulate and express...but then it's even harder when your going through something and no one lets you have a voice.
