mrah:

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the weird patterns in Mira Mesa people these days? It’s like there is a weird trend to have a baby or something. Like, it’s cool or something? I am not trying to put myself above anyone or anyone’s beliefs. I just can’t help but be sociologically mindful and there is some sort of Mira Mesa mentality that I feel is really limiting people. No offense, kids are great and I hope to have a couple one day maybe. It’s not the fact that a lot of people are getting pregnant at all. I just can’t help but notice that people from here, generally, seem to feel obligated to either be in a relationship or are still so concerned with some high school type of drama. I find it really annoying! I don’t mean to sound judgmental, I guess I can’t help but come off that way, but there is more to life you guys! It feels like people haven’t changed at all since I’ve been gone. I know it’s only been a couple of years and change is hard..but damn! I guess I’ve always prided myself in having a good sense of what I think is for the best. There is more to life than changing your relationship status on Facebook or inconveniently getting pregnant. It’s not cool, at least not to me. We live in the coolest state of the U.S. not some boring southern state where having sex is the only thing to do.

I know I am thinking too much into it, but I don’t think I am the only person in this town that notices it too. I gave myself this year to be single as a New Year’s resolution because I felt like I had this sort of mentality before. I didn’t remember what it felt like to be single and just be with myself for a while. I’m not trying to hate on being in a relationship, I know how it feels to be loved and it’s nothing short of amazing. I’m dating someone now and I’m not gonna lie, I think it’s pretty awesome. But I don’t think there could be a bigger distraction which is probably the reason why so many people get stuck in stupid relationships. So I can understand to a certain point, but bettering yourself sounds so much more appealing, right? I feel like I am, that’s why I’m writing this. Maybe one day I’ll look at it again and sociologically analyze this place or something. I just feel like I am so young and there are so many things I need to do and places I need to be. People need to get out of this funk because it’s not cute.

Mira Mesa is a death trap that people should be getting out of as soon as humanly possible.

Man, our class is growing up so much. Makes me proud how we can critically think about how the world we grew up is “different” a few years later.
