Hillsdale is a great place to raise your children, yes I will give you that. Hillsdale is a great place to live when you're older, yes I'll give you that. Hillsdale is a great place to live if you want to stay away from violence. Hillsdale is also a great place to leave if you want to farm or own animals.
But...
Hillsdale is also a great place to live if you prefer the simpler life, or if you like to be more boring. It's a great place to live if you're a busybody and enjoy hardships or struggles in other's lives. A great place to live if you care to make everyone else's business your own.
Occasionally I find something grand to say about Hillsdale and when I do, it's something minute, not very important, not very ... much of a compliment. Most of my "admiring comments" are forced. Yes, they are genuine but only because it is logically correct. I do not like this town. I don't like living here, I don't want to raise my children here, I don't want to live here.
Something very difficult to deal with in Hillsdale are the people. They are constantly gossiping, jumping to conclusions, assuming, and spying. People seem to mature slower yet age faster. Something else that Hillsdale has a problem with is people being two-faced. I realize that everywhere you go, these people seem to populate and reproduce; but in Hillsdale, it seems to be somewhat different. They. Are. Everywhere. Like germs. And they drive me nuts.
I'm a bit of a complainer tonight.
But honestly, pick one or the other or don't say anything at all. Perhaps it's just because I'm in high school, perhaps it is the whole town, perhaps it's just people I surround myself with; whatever it is, I wish it wouold go away.
I wish people would grow up.
And quit lying.
Quit being fake.
And be themselves.
It's really not that difficult.
And it's fun :)
