The Things They Didn't Tell You

They didn't tell you about all the other religions out there

about all the other kinds of people

about gays

and lesbians

and bisexuals

and transexuals

and about all the things you have to do to go to college

They didn't tell you about all the myths and legends and creatures

or about all the damages earth quakes cause

about all the food that goes to waste even if you don't eat it.

They didn't tell you about all the animals there are out in the wilderness

not the giraffes and gazelles,

but about the kiwis and the ocelots

and the millipedes and the oxen,

especially the blue kind.

They didn't tell you about the giant spectrum of music that's out there

about the mixing of sounds

and the recording of sounds

and all the millions of musical instruments

and the crazy combinations of beats.

They didn't tell you television is an illusion

and that love is something attainable only to those open to it

and that love is not a luxury but a necessity to be a sane person

and that it makes sense to wait and not to long for it

and that if you long for it what you're actually doing is chasing it away

and that if you chase it you'll be chasing it forever

and like the wind it's so hard to catch

so if you just let it happen things will fall into place and you'll be happy

and They didn't tell you films make things that are not real seem real

and things that aren't supposed to happen happen

and They didn't tell you that what these films do is actually illegal in real life

because if a creeper stalks you and is persistent in real life you're never in a million years going to want to hang out with that person, let alone date them

and they didn't tell you that most of the messages they convey are political and social not really soley for entertainment purposes, unless it's a real artsy film and the creators actually care to have fun while making it.

and They didn't tell you people sleep around and don't care who they hurt so you better watch out little friend!

and that most likely you'll have a panic attack during college if not anywhere else during your life, but most likely you're safe if you survived college without one.

and that you should save money because there may be a sudden depression when you're in college

and that you may need to bend some rules here and there and not be constricted to a pattern of living because it just doesn't work that way

and that you should never do the same thing exactly the same twice

and that for experience you should travel to another country to see what they live like

and They didn't tell you more and more mental diseases are appearing so you need to take care of that brain

and they didn't tell you that chocolate is good for you

and they didn't tell you that life is a big storm that will take you by surprise and nothing is planned, even if you plan it you can never tell how things will actually turn out.
