Never leave a child during crucial stage of his life,at this stage teenagers undergo character transformation and become exposed to a lot of factors that may affect their perception as they enter the harsh world of adulthood. At this point of their lives they somehow become responsible of their own choices, from get up to music and group of society they go with, sounds basic, yup right but this option is just a first step to bigger ones. But the question here is how they learn to look at things holistically, moreover how it affects his life once his decisions are made. That is where the confidence, regrets, being decisive and certain, self-disappointment, skeptical or confusion kicks in, and once one factor prevailed that is how the behavior developed that he will carry over in his adulthood. I don't know but whenever I see a person with a strong personality, I asked myself "who was with him?".
I read a journal of a teen who is now a well person I can say, in his journal, I noticed it is all about confusion and regrets and self-disappointment, he always blame himself because no one was there to guide him all throughout his days as a young man. But what makes his journal interesting is he was smart enough to let himself well-surrounded by people who have been through many walks of life, he constantly asks questions and advices whenever he needs to make a choice, and as I go along to the last page he learned not to regret making mistakes, for not making them you won't be able to make things right. Lucky him he thought of that,and he has these people, what if not?
Raising a child is never easy, you are creating a man, a human being, and you are become forever part of how this person see things in life, which path to follow and decision he would make.
By the way, that journal was mine.
It was kinda dramatic that you left after summer, and so your warm touch with the brightest smile I've ever seen. See? That's the drama I'm talking about. but you know that phase between two seasons, the worry that now you're all alone brings you fear to go to your apartment and spend COLD night all by yourself, that familiar scene you saw in TV series, that you can't escape that loneliness no matter how strong you are that once you close the door you will breakdown and cry. Well at first I smiled and literally told myself out loud "it only happens in the movies"!, and after few minutes... I did, like an EMMY award winning actor.
It only boils down to the fact that even the real life comic person has their own tear-jerking moments and expect that they'll refuse your help, for they would think it's their job-my job.
Bad things happen, things sometimes go wrong, people change but life goes on. I miss you so bad but I have to get over it, like you were just my midsummer night dream.
