this is it.

as a teenager you're expected to be and do a lot of things. you're expected to act like an adult, even though you're still treated like a child. your parents expect you to play sports and get straight A's. society expects you to go out and party like a wild child, smoke some herb and run free like the young little rascals you are. but, let's face the facts here. you and i both know this rarely happens. there's a lot of drama and a lot of tears; there are a lot of days that you'd like to go out with your friends, but you aren't invited. there are a lot of nights you stay up until three just to get homework done, and you're still expected to get up at six and be ready and attentive for classes at seven-thirty. there are nights more often than not, that you will stay up listening to your parents screaming at each other and scream at you for your mediocre grades and your lack of interest in anything that goes on around you. you don't get a word in: you never really do. some of you go out and drink and smoke and live, but you're still lost. you're still confused. you're living the dream, but you have no direction. and you don't know why.


you're exhausted and looking for some salvation. you're looking for some sign, from God or anything else out there, that you're not alone, that you really aren't the only one suffering through this everyday. well, if you were looking for a sign...


this is it.
