Highlight of my day

These days, (for the past week or so), there haven't been many highlights, mainly because for some reason everything's just been feeling so sad, for me. Reworded, i've been noticing the sad side of things, in everything. So a highlight is still a higlight and is very nice. That highlight consists of 2 things. One is the actual day which had a very nice special event which was "serious" but from looking around, you notice that no-one really cares, and it's just "another day". Not to say that the thematic concerns were uninteresting or stupid, it's just that people were not overly motivated, and it showed in their faces. (And in their litter).

The second highlight was when i was in the car and have a conversation with a great man, about people and how they're lazy and the psychology when people come to cross the road with a light and a button, and how people will not press the button. It says X of Y things about someone; how the great man saw it was, that they were either lazy, or inconsiderate. The other interpretation is that they are just patient, but then add a second person, and things change. The second person tends to not do anything but sit. And wait. And so it goes in such a chain until the lights give way and the people cross. And this such fashion reminded me of my dreams, and how sad it was that people didn't regard mental illness as important.

I guess it was another "sad" thing, but i guess the whole world is made of sad things if you choose and no, i will not "stop it" and i won't "get over it in time", it's my choice, and it's not Panadeineinesal. I like it this way. What's even worse is the lack of miscommunication of this day, and the poor thinking behind the "social experiment" used to promote today. Poor thinking because i suppose, they used mob mentality to get the support they wanted which is unwarranted, and most people didn't do it for the real purpose; THUS, useless in the hearts of most people. They tried (oh how they tried) to reassert it in the hearts of the people, but they failed, and what makes me angry is that they tacked on the MOST IMPORTANT feature of their annual stand; MENTAL WELFARE. It's disregarded, and i blame that mentality (ha) for the shattering of my dream. Yes i could still be what i want to be, but it makes me angry that i can't do what i like and eat it too. Realistically speaking, i would much rather get several hobbies, but it shall not work out like that.

Thus, i will see if i can find ways to educate people on the effects of mental health. Just to rebuild my dream (selfish i know, but i WILL get someone to understand.) So to start off, think of it like this. A car cannot move if it has no wheels, similarly, it cannot move without a driver. And by move i mean on a 0 degree incline and acceleration. And i don't think people understand this, because they will say "Oh, but it's a MENTAL illness. I can just "get over it"". THe problem is that they're saying this at a time where they may not realise that they can't just "get over it".

Ah, well. Sometimes i like this longer posts. It makes me feel as if i've done something; or just written down something for later reference on my life, i suppose.

Hoping you don't fall prey to mental illness, find something neat to ponder on, find a passion, know where you're going, rebuild those dreams or find a nice viewpoint to see the world.

Yes, it's long. Oh well. So sue me.

Are you kidding? I saw littered purple and lilac "badges" all over the bus and all over Epping station. Now tell me if that is "some". I don't know what you know, and yes it is great. Also if seeing sad sides of things was ever bad, it's not bad for me, it just keeps me awake a little longer at night while i ponder a few things.
