"I love choir, I'm a choir nerd."
-Amy Lee
Okay, I know the song "She's a rebel" by Greenday would be better for this entry, but I'm trying to stick with quotes by Amy Lee. Why do I love Evanescence music? I have several reasons. For one thing, it's just so dark, but at the same time, it talks about real life situations so you feel closer to yourself. Another thing, it's not stupid or pointless like several songs I've heard. It doesn't talk about sexual issues, boyfriends and lovey nasty stuff, and it doesn't talk about drugs and alchahol. Sure, rap and hip hop sound cool to several people, but I care more about the message than how cool it is. I also like it 'cause the lead singer, Amy Lee, is modest and she doesn't believe in showing off your body to get attention. Lastly, it inspires me and helps me to think clearly whenever I'm writing a poem, a short story, or even a journal entry.
To me, my life doesn't need to depend on style that'll eventually wear out when we're adults. I want to get through life without having to deal with problems that I could have prevented. I don't think of myself as a geek or a nerd or an emo or whatever idiots lable me as, I'm proud to say I'm a rebel.
That's it, a rebel. I'm against most things that people consider "cool". In all honesty, I don't want to die that early, so I'm sorry, but I honestly don't care what other people think of me. I have great friends, that I can trust because they like me for me, not the person I pretend to be. Although I feel distant from a few of them, there are still the ones closer to me than anything. We're all proud to be rebels, and not afraid to show the world what we have deep inside ourselves.
If you believe living a good life isn't cool, then go ahead and hurt yourself. We all have a personal goal in life, and mine is to be the proud rebel I am today, and possibly an author or screenwriter. Think what you want, it's not true. I just want to live happy, which doesn't include showing off. If you're humble, yet proud, you're a truly good person.
