Living Life

So uhh….

I’m a healthy guy. I enjoy working out and getting the proper nutrition. Surprisingly, it makes me feel good. I enjoy styling my hair, so fucking sue me. I wear contacts. I shave. I embrace my youth. I make the most of it, unlike my pre-adolescent era.

Before high school, I was fat, wore glasses, had acne worse then you (I PROMISE), had little to no sense of hygiene, and had no sense of being social. I ate the worst food possible, hated the feeling of being winded in any way shape or form, loved being by myself, loved the satisfaction of beating the next video game, and most of all, hated my peers because of their persistent taunts and jokes about me. I was bullied, and yes, it was a major part of what made me change.

But that does not change the fact that I still love video games and being by myself. I am still that same kid inside, maybe just a bit wiser, but not much more. The same kids who have bullied me had the gall to come up and say to my face on different occasions “Oh my god Aaron, you’re so much cooler now.” Plus or minus a few words, but that was the jist, each and every time. The surprise of my sudden change of physical appearance. It’s funny. How primal those kids are. All they care about is the social tiers, a pointless manifest of the ever-expanding adolescent mind. Those people possess no respect in my book.

I know, I’ve graduated. But I have never written(typed) this down, and I had the sudden urge to explain myself. I’m the same kid. Just, more physically attractive. Accept my “geeky” qualities. Accept my abnormal vocabulary. Accept everything.

What’s sad though is, this phenomenon is inevitable. People judge according to looks, no matter what. It’s an inborn instinct. The male seeks the most attractive female to carry his offspring. An “alpha” is usually established in any pact. Almost instinctually, you assess if you are more or less dominant when meeting someone new. Whether you or conscious of it or not. This judgement can be either acted upon or not acted upon. That is the line I draw for who gets my respect and who doesn’t.

A lot of people fail. We as a species are more advanced then that. We can be conscious of our primal instincts and train them. Never judge on first appearances.

If you do with me, you’ll think I’m an asshole with an IQ of less then 80, who s amazing with girls. It is exactly the opposite.
