SERIOUSLY, Tone It Dowwn

Apparently I have problems because now my journalism teacher is even telling me that I'm taking that class wayy too seriously.

Why is everyone telling me to tone down on the things that I love doing?
Everyone complains that people don't have enough passion or drive for what they do and now they have a problem if someone has too much passion?

Between the "two evils," which one would you guys seriously prefer me to have?

Yeah I know there's the middle ground. But that middle ground will always be there. Passion and drive don't roll by every day. Everyone who's anyone should know that... Or maybe not... Maybe I'm wrong.

Why are so many people trying to hold be back?
Why are you all so worried and scared for me?
What do you guys want from me?

I take breaks, too, you know.
I take time to think and reflect, too.
It's not like I'm on high forever.

*sigh* I can't wait to talk to my best friend today.

well if people say things, from their perspective there is credence. the best thing to do is accept it with a little bit of humility ad dig for the lesson hidden in between lines.

I know your reply would be "do I need to tone down?" I don't know that answer lies with you. The only thing I'll say is we all need a break sometimes. The candle that burns the brightest, burns out the fastest.
