"To This Day"

In my gifted and talented english class, we watch a random video at the beginning of class to get our brains and creative juices flowing. The other day my teacher played this video by Shane Koyczan, and it really hit home with me.

After growing up in the same town all my life, I feel as if everyone in my high school sees me in a specific way. I am so ready to leave this "bubble" of a comfort zone and meet new people. I am ready to challenge myself and actually find out who I really am and what I really like.

I just feel for humans feeling close minded and almost like they have to pretend to be someone they aren't just to fit into this bubble of a world. But there is so much more to life than fitting a certain standard. Forget about the name you are called "to this day," and find the beauty in life. Find the beauty in you.
