no day but today...
something that frustrates me sooo much is when people say they are trying to improve soemthing or want to stop doing things, but dont make any effort to do it. its somehting i myself also struggle with. its so easy to do whats fun or to do what everyone else is doing. But sometimes, jsut take a step back and think "is this even fun?" becuase for me... its not. how could you quit smoking if you didnt make any effort to do it? it doesnt get easier unless you try. if nothing changes, nothing changes.
theres so many better things i could be doing with my time. people say lifes too short to try and make a difference. but no. its not. life is really long. its a lifetime. its the longest amount of time that a person can fathom. Yes we as Christians must see things in the span of eternity, but dont get so caught up in eternity that you arent living the life in front of you. (im mainly typing this as a lecture to myself.)
I reallize how many opportunities ive missed because i was so caught up in myself. Its time to toughen up and go for it because its possible that no one else will. I have so many friends who were Christian and have jsut let themselves become wrapped up in a stupid habit or with people/friends that dont care about them. i think its because they are scared. having half friends is better than no friends. but i can attest that that is SO not true. i know all about "half friends"- they wholly suck compared to the great relationships that i have built up through the years.
Like eddie talked about at gator. small groups. benefits and dangers. so far ive mostly only experienced the dangers. i jsut sit around and talk to people about NOTHING. like "hows school..good.. u?... good. kewl.. ok.." whereas with my real close friends i dont
have to go through all that small talk garbage. i can be straight up and up front about whats bothering me and vise versa. that is something i value more than being able to have lots of "half friends".. real friends WILL talk to you about things. you wont be able to avoid it once youve already talked about all the CRAP.
Another thing that ive been doing lately is reading. right now im reading "captivating"- its about understanding the soul of a woman. sounds really gay and boring. its not. anyone who is a girl, is dating one, or who knows one should read it. if anyone wants it, let me know. its really good.
"sorrow is no stranger to anyone, though only a few have learned that it is not an enemy either."
"Every woman has a beauty that is captivating. None is a disappointment" Every one is perfect the way she is.
"Much of what we call our 'personalities' is actually the mosaic of our choices for self-protection plus our plan to get something of the love we were created for."
