I Am Damn Tired Of All The Bad In This World

I Am Damn Tired Of All The Bad In This World
Sumeet Samra

If you’re reading this, it means that you, A) follow me and my amazing social media, B) have mutual friends/interests, C) Googled or D) feel the same.

I bet you’re wondering what I’m talking about. What could I possibly be on about (again)? Simply put, I’m tired.

Of what? Of everything.

Don’t get me wrong, I know the saying “I’m tired of everything” is over used, especially on social media. Teens and twenties use the phrase to describe how they’re feeling when, in reality, they really aren’t tired, they are more than that. They’re just done. They’re tired of it all.

It’s a common feeling these days for high school and college students. Everything wasn’t how it was 10, 20 or more years ago. The internet, social media and just how we treat one another is different. A lot of things people don’t understand.

But what exactly am I tired of? A lot of things.

I’m tired of being undermined.

I’m tired of not being good enough for people.

I’m tired of being the only person to want to do things.

I’m tired of people not treating me the way I do.

I’m tired of second guessing myself to please others.

I’m tired of being put on the back burner.

I’m tired of being taken for granted.

As you can see, a lot of the things I’m tired of reflect upon the people I surround myself with. I’m not a perfect person, and a lot of the things I’m tired of have to do with myself.

I’m tired of not getting enough sleep.

I’m tired of looking into the mirror and not being happy with what I see.

I’m tired of how I act in some situations.

I’m tired of how easy I can cry.

I’m tired of trying to be perfect and always falling short.

I’m tired of procrastinating.

I’m tired of how easy I can forgive someone.

I’m tired of believing that people can be interested in me.

I’m tired of selling myself short.

Oh, but let's not forget what is going on in this world.

I’m tired of watching our country, MY country be run into shambles by an underqualified President.

I’m tired of watching racism and discrimination become normal.

I’m tired of watching innocent people get killed because of how easily accessible guns are.

I’m tired of having friends, family, and people of my community be afraid to do things because of the color of their skin.

I’m tired of having men and women raped and their rapist be let out in society without a care.

I’m tired of people treating others poorly.

I’m tired of not having decent human beings in this world.

I’m exhausted and I know a lot of people are as well.

So when you hear and read people being tired, trust me, we are.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
