i haven't posted in ages. but i realized something... i realized why people aren't as forgiving as they ought to be. they're too busy being wrapped up in themselves and their own world. if a person comes along and upsets the status quo of their life - whether in good or bad ways that affect the person - it's just not ok for them.
i've never understood it really, because i don't have a particular status quo. i take people for who they are. i love them for who they are. i either want you in my life for who you are, or i dont... and therefore you won't be in my life! haha. but, when it comes down to it, you are who you are and everyone makes mistakes, and i can forgive pretty much anything. but i guess i'm an oddity.
maybe the fact that i'm facing my mortality at an age when my friends, both my age and older (and younger too in fact) are STARTING their lives, changes things. i've travelled the world and lived on my own and fulfilled some of my utmost dreams and done more than the average jane smith that grew up, lived, and died here. so even when the petty stuff upsets me? it's not going to keep me from a friend or keep me from caring or being me or loving them for who they are.
SHIT HAPPENS FOLKS.
get over the petty stuff. it's just shit. and it happens. if you let that change you, change your relationships with people, then how are you gonna keep the important people around? i watch my friends and people that i used to consider friends constantly push people away or act like assholes or whatever... because they're wrapped up in themselves or they sweat the little stuff.
so like i said,
SHIT HAPPENS. get over it. cuz it's gonna happen again. and if shit goes down with someone you thought was cool, work it out and move past it. otherwise you could be losing someone who matters, someone who COULD matter... or at least someone who isn't like all the other assholes on the planet.
and we could all use a few more people like that in our lives.
