Secrecy and Transparency

Secrets are a hazardous detour to a sheep. To a sheep, secrets are a symbol of trust and loyalty. However, I am no sheep. I am a wolf. And to wolves, secrets are a cowardly medium that breeds deceit and betrayal. The very nature of such a thing encumbers me with an overwhelming sensation that livid and nauseous barely even begin to describe.

     Heed my warnings. Don't trust anyone who asks you a secret. When someone asks for you to keep a secret, it has two possible meanings. Either they are lying to you, or they want you to lie to other people. Both of which describe someone I despise with every ounce of my being. Keep in mind that if someone has a secret with you, they most likely have a secret with someone else. Doesn't that thought alone inspire you in any way? For me, it provokes action. I remove said person from my life, or confront them at the very least.

    Many people believe that being transparent makes you weak and vulnerable, but oh my how those people are so very wrong. It does quite the contrary. It makes you stronger. It makes you insusceptible to rumors and extortion of any kind. You no longer fear someone's opinion of you changing when they find something out because everything about you is already known. It is truly liberating to not have to restrict yourself in any way. There's no lying and cheating when you are completely open and honest about everything. It weeds out real friends from fake ones. Being completely transparent attracts real people.

     I might be the only person who feel this way, but I would rather be hated by every person who has ever talked to me than to be surrounded by a bunch of fake friends. It just seems like a waste of time to hide things and worry about feelings or opinions. You only get one life, and its span is extremely limited. Do you really want to spend it pretending to be something you're not? Do you really want your life to be a lie? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe everyone should be two faced and fake their way through life. I think I'm going in the right direction with this transparency though. I always hear negative things about being a liar, but I've never heard anyone say that I'm too honest.

But what do I know? I'm just another teenager who's not sure of which side of the thin between being naive and wise that I stand on. It could be that I've been through so much that I matured and developed faster than my peers, or I'm just young and dumb for thinking I'm experienced in any way. Try being as brutally honest and open as I am. Or continue to abide by the social politics like the vast majority. It's your choice to be a wolf or remain a sheep. To each his own I guess.

A New Beginning (Entry 3)

     First and foremost, happy new year! Today is the beginning of another chapter of our lives. Hopefully this year will be the best yet. I don't have any definitive or concrete resolutions. My only resolution is to be better than I was yesterday, all year. So every day this year, I'm going to become better at at least one thing. If I succeed in this endeavor, I should be one hell of a person by the end of 2014. Time will tell I suppose. The only other real goals I have for this year are pretty ambitious. I want to get a perfect score in one section of my ACT and I want to be a weight lifting state champion in the state of Florida. That would put me in the top 1% of my peers in academics and athletics. I would truly take pride in fulfilling either, but both would make this year incredible. 2014 is a new year, a clean slate. This is a chance to do something special with my life. I've been talking big for a while, and now it's time to back it up. 

     I really don't like when people talk big about everything they are going to differently this year and end up never delivering. It just makes you look like an asshole when you proclaim all of the amazing things you are going to, then you don't follow through with any of them. You can't build a name on something you plan to do. So please, don't be that type of person this year. Either do what you said you were going to do, or keep your mouth shut.

     I've got something to prove to myself in 2014. I will not settle for anything but my very best this year. Everyone always says that this year will be different, but few are serious about it. I look forward to the ball drop in 364 days where I will be able to say I accomplished everything I said I would in 2014. So here's to whatever it takes. 

     I'd love to hear from anyone who read this far. Feel free to contact me with any questions and/or feedback of any kind. I'm easy to reach.
