For Justin

I guess you could say we're the weird kids.
But I'm okay with that.
I know people look at us strange, complain...
You know they only do that because they're secretly jealous.
It's kind of a cliche, but I know what's going on.
They see us being ourselves, totally and completely, and they wish they could do that.
The popular kids hide the weirdo inside them, and instead, act normal and blend in with the crowd.
We, however, have it all figured out.
We already know how to be... us.
We're the band kids, the choir kids, the kids who hang out in the math hall, the kids who reference video games, Star Wars, and Harry Potter 24/7.
So...
We're the cool kids.
We're the people who will go on to be great musicians, artists, teachers, writers, amazing people.
I know high school isn't the most awesome thing that will happen to our group.
But you know we'll be okay, because (another cliche) we have each other.
We get to laugh together without worrying about being normal.
Normal is boring anyway.
It's safe and mediocre.
It's not a challenge.
Our group is too smart for normal.
So instead, we get to be the weird kids, the smart kids, ourselves.
We get to have fun.
