@mariannewest freewrite day 152: "brand"
Youth it has been said countless times is too often wasted on the young. I was no exception to that point that has withstood the test of time. When growing up I can think looking back at a more ill-informed, misguided, just outrageously despicable time to be a human being than in the middle school years of sixth, seventh, and eight grades. At least in elementary there is an innocence, a seeming pass to most kids growing up. In high school age you see some development, maybe slightly less petty in what is thought to be important, developing some adult coping mechanisms that stay with you at some point in your life.
But the middle school years are just quite foolishly wasted time feeling everyone out for what is important and it is an absolute shit show in intellectual honest and quite frankly humanity in general. It seemed so often that young kids at this age, myself definitely included are more worried at the brand of clothing, the brand of accessory, that makes you fit in with everyone else rather all things of substance that are important in life. Like community, family, work and genuine honesty with one's self is thrown out the window with disregard. Many look back at these ages and wonder if they could go back. I would rather take my chances in reincarnation than have to relive that time knowing what I know now.
No thanks. I’d rather be an adult than be extraordinarily young again.
Thank you for this read and also thank you for teaching me the word "petty". :) It is super weird how brands and fitting in, being part of a community became so connected. @originalworks
Thanks again @cyoadventuregame. I wanted to upvote your most recent post but blew my sbd's a few minutes ago. If you'd like you can have a free entry into this. I'd like to get you an upvote to repay the favor of spotting that screwed up link. If I see you in there it would just insure that I don't forget. Also you win like 1.20sbd if you got lucky. If you find someone else that wants to join it have them enter your username after their number, and you can get another entry. That offer is good for only a day or so though, at least until the next one. Thanks again, have a good one!
Just the thought of being back in school again…..chilling!

Woww... Awesome post..
During my school days am invisible... Nobody knew that I exist...
I don't even talk... All I do is to focus and make sure my mission to school is accomplished..
I hardly even make friends... That's why in all my school days I only have four friends.. Out of hundreds and thousands in school..
I would love to join any current challenge or contest available... Did you have one boss
I used my time well.. But I missed the fun...
Nice post... Really enjoyed reading...
Yes for sure juliangold. Thanks so much for the comments, you are too kind. Here is the one I am doing currently. Also for those that are on my curation trail cryptkeeper17 on steemauto I am paying back 40% the daily entry for this one as well(you would pay the 0.05, you'd send me a note or whatever saying you entered, I'd send you 0.02 for each entry). It's being done by a really good friend of mine @terminallyill, who is turning around and sending all proceeds from it to development groups that I am a part of like @greetersguild, @newbieresteemday, @newbiegames in an effort for those groups to each lease more steempower and continue to grow and become a factor on the platform. Great to hear from you again @juliangold, I hope everything in going well!
