As someone who always felt out of place in the country town I grew up, it would’ve been nice to have say something like this to me. I was never sure why I didn’t fit in, I just knew that I didn’t. And of course, it being a country town, being different and not fitting in wasn’t a good thing. High school wasn’t a fun period for me and I really wish someone could’ve told me that it does indeed, get better.
The things they say in the video are true – high school and your teenage years are like a monochrome version of a technicolour world. The things you worry about in high school mean absolutely nothing once you grow up.
Of course this isn’t to say that it’s all sunshine and roses. It’s not. Sometimes it’s suck monumentally but that’s the nature of our lives. Something good and something bad. You can’t have one without the other.
