Here's to the kids. The kids who would rather spend their night with Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones than go to some vomit-stained high school party. Here's to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them. Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars. Here's to the kids who never were too good at life, but still were wicked cool. Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV. Heres to the kids that blame MTV for ruining their life. Here's to the kids who care more about the music then the haircuts. Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush. Here's to the kids who hum "A Little Less 16 Candles A Little More Touch Me" when they're stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night. Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart...from someone who didn't even know they existed. Here's to the kids who have read The Perks of Being A Wall Flower & didn't feel so alone after doing so. Here's to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friend. Here's to the kids who are straight up smartasses & just don't care. Here's to the kids who speak their mind. Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep. Here's to the kids who second-guess themselves on everything they do. Here's to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that." - Pete Wentz
Some people can sit around doing nothing, some can go out and make a living for themselves, like Pete has. Some will speak out, some will keep quiet against things they don't like. But when things are spoken, from one person's perspective, they change for another person. This is just random bantering, but it has a point...somewhere. Go back and read through that again, take in everything it says, and imagine what one of those kids might feel like. You might already be one of those kids, so you don't have to imagine what its like. If you agree, with anything that I, or Pete have said, post that comment somewhere on gaia, maybe along with your own little speech, and see what kind of response you get. This may seem kinda weird, but it gives you more insight into others points of view. It may not make alot of sense now, but some time, later down the road, I'm sure it will.
