New Weird

When lunch time came around and everyone cleaned out of the room I kept my butt in my seat and kept at it with my art work. Baekhyun was still here too, I am just pretending that I don 't see him at all. I trun my music up, getting really nervous. Shouldn 't he be off laughing along with his friends about something stupid. Then just sitting here watching me. I finally get fed up with him and take out my headphones and turn my music off.

I used to think it was cute and made him even cuter for doing it but now I fucking hate it. " no wanted to talk, by the way you aren 't weird, you are you. You always have been and always will be. " my chest tighten, and I wanted to punch myself in the face for almost smiling at that. He used to tell me that all the time. He would save me the bullies and I would be crying wanting to know what was wrong with me and why was I the way I was. Baekhyun would always hug me and tell me that I was perfect the way I was, that they would never understand but that was okay because he did. He liked me just the way I was, because I was me and I will aways be me and nothing or no one could change that. Sad to say but he was very wrong. I am not who I was back then and never will…

while I’m stuck in Beaufort. It doesn’t mean anything to me.” His head dipped downward, almost involuntarily. “I’ll give it up.” She gave a watery smile. “You would really do that for me?” “Of course, I want to build a life with you.” “Are you sure?” she asked, as she sniffled and wiped her eyes. She felt as though a cloud were passing after a rainstorm. “Of course, Nell.” He clenched his jaw and looked away from her . “I nearly died when we broke up.” She couldn’t remember Asa…

Eminem. The song is mainly about his struggles as a child to be happy and succeed. He was not a very popular kid, so he didn’t have very many friends, and at the same time he was bullied. All of these factors made his childhood a complete and utter “Hell” for him. But as the song progresses he gets older, and grows more confidence. Overall this song is a great representation of what Eminem had to go through his entire life; overcoming adversities, dealing with bullies, and coming to terms with…

fundamentals of nostalgia are the exact opposite of this. During a state of nostalgia we are not just thinking of the past, we are longing to return to it. It is in this state that we are unaware of the present, we are inattentive to the future, and we just let life pass by. Think about it. What is it that we do in a state of nostalgia?

Instead, it has used mechanisms to instill fear and mass hysteria to those following them and will continue to negatively influence and mislead people in the future.
