Entry Number Nine


   I've been thinking about a lot of things. Mainly that we live in a world of depression. Times have changed majorly since the beginning of the 2000s, and not in a good way. All around me there are people that aren't fulfilled in their lives. I'm not even fulfilled. Life could definitely be better than it is now. I don't think I know one person that is actually happy. All of my friends aren't as happy as they should be. My two best friends really aren't happy, especially not since school started. They don't have enough time to do the things that make them happy. And when they do get the time to actually relax and calm down, they can't because they get so stressed with thinking about tomorrow. 
   I am still on the hunt with finding something that makes me happy. No luck so far, but I haven't really tried as hard as I should be with trying to find it. I kind of gave up. I just want to be 17 years old living in 1988. To me, that seems like the best time to be living. Everyone hung out with each other and had a good time. Everyone was happy. Al of the good 80s movies would have been out by then. The style was so cool. The technology wasn't as advanced as it is today. I think that is one of the major reasons why everyone is so depressed these days. They aren't actually living life and they are just looking at a screen all day. I hang out with friends and they are on their phones. I go out to eat with friends ad they are on their phones. People don't ever get the chance to look up every once in a while and actually do something. But sometimes technology is a good thing. 
   Without technology, neither of my friends would have an outlet to do what they love. They wouldn' be able to connect with people across the world. And sometimes the people across the world are the only ones that actually make you feel better. And without technology, you wouldn't have them. I don't personally have any online friends, but my best friend has some. And to her, they are the word. I really don't know what she would be like without them. That's why I really want an online friend. But that would mean that I would have to text them and make a huge effort to say with them. And I can barely text my friends on a weekly basis. I never talk to anyone, so I don't think I would be able to have an online friend that would last. But who knows, I've never had one, so I don't know what would happen. 
   But hopefully, things get better. Not only for me but also for the people around me. I don't realy know, I never do. But this was a short entry to just talk to someone about something. Yikes.
