I know a lot of people seemed to really dislike Zephyr as a character in the episode of MLP today, and yeah, I can see why some may not look at him as favourably as others. Just watching some reactors made me realise how those, usually who are much older, judge people like him and his general attitude towards life, responsibilities and growing up. Yet for me, he ended up being the most relatable character the show has ever thrown at me and it made me feel so uncomfortable about myself as a whole I had to take a good long walk outside just to collect my thoughts.

But backstory and all that. To put it simply, I'm 17 and still currently unemployed as I make my way through college (The UK type, with A-levels and BTECs and stuff). I did have a summer job at a local restaurant last year but that quickly fell through for a variety of reasons; surprisingly not my fault though. Ever since then, I've really been getting, to put it simply, lazier and lazier. Sure, I still get plenty of exercise, I've been eating better and I've generally been cutting back on many of my addictions I've gained over the years. But none of it is stopping my addiction to complacency and procrastination. When I know that I don't NEED to do anything, my mind thinks "Then why bother?" and in thus lies the problem.

My grades are damn solid with B's and A's across the board, despite the severe lack of effort and extra work I put into my education. I just, somehow, despite constantly telling myself to reach higher, never do and sink further into this pit of despair and lazy behaviour. And yeah, basically you can see some links between me and Zephyr. But it isn't just me. I know for a fact plenty of people out there, maybe even some of you reading this, have become victims or were victims of complacency. And it is dangerous, just as the episode teaches.

Okay, rambling over. Time to just round this up before I kick the Hornet's Nest even more.
