i gotta agree with you bud. it does seem like we are part of a cast and almost everyone around us, even those close to us, are trying to edit and when we say something that they dont belive or agree with, cognitive dissonance, they look at us and say "you dont mean that" or "no, ya see this is the way it is" or better yet " i know you think your right but..." older people, and i know they mean well, sometimes, do this alot. if we tell them some experince we've had and what we thought about, they start to tell us a way of doing that experience; it's almost as thought they are saying"go back and try that experince again" as if they are trying to edit our opinion and persepective on OUR experience

I don't know if you got what I was saying in the poem. I wasn't saying that other people keep us from experiencing things our way. I was just noticing that we usually don't act forthcoming in public. We 'edit' our selfs. There may be something we want to say to someone or an expression we want to show but because we are in public or 'on stage' we 'edit' that. I don't blame anyone around me for not letting me experience something the way I want to. That is our generations biggest cop out.

yeah when i was typing it didnt feel like i was coming across the way i wanted to but and i dont nessasarly think that people "edit" us, your right in saying that we edit ourselves in our speech. i think what i was trying to say was that when we do say these things, we'll call them the "unedited", that people try to change it in a way, maybe for their own rationality. but i gotta go right now call me sometime but not to late cause i got FINALS AND IM GONNA FREAK OUT MAAAN!!!. but i really wanna talk more about this, i miss this stuff so much. later.
