Mood

Dear little dude,

Have you ever noticed you're the only one who ever laughs? You're in the third grade and you've devised, plotted out and executed an act of public humiliation on one of your classmates... entirely for your own enjoyment.

You use people, kid. It aint right.

You criticize and demean until everyone around you either agrees or is afraid to speak up because you'll just bring it right back down.

I mean, you're EIGHT YEARS OLD.

You're going to keep doing these things your entire life. You're going to tell yourself you understand things like friendship and love, but you're going to treat those things like a game too.

Life isn't about winning, kid. It's not about being the smartest, or the best, or about having everyone on your side.

You're not gonna see that until it's pretty much too late.
