A Rant Worth Taking Note Of...
I wish more people would listen with their hearts and not with their heads. Everyone is always fighting to be happy, to come to that state of euphoria that is so coveted. But they also hold themselves back by listening to their heads too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to jump blindly into unwise situations and to wall face first into all of your choices, but don't let logic take over your life.
Take love.
Why do so many people decide to stop loving someone because of one little problem? Whether it be race, money, a fight, a mistake, everyone has problems. But if you overanalyze them, there is no way you can ever be happy. What the hell else is love and happiness but blind emotions? What has logic ever done to help your heart feel whole? It may have gotten you out of a bad situation or two, but your heart will tell you what you really need to do. Love without inhibition. Don't regret the things you did, instead regret the things you didn't do.
Now, take friends.
A matter that most people take for granted. I have a handful of really good friends. People who I know would kill, die, cry and laugh for me. People that I know would listen to me at 3am if someone broke my heart. People that would tell me if I got a bad haircut, then help me to fix it. People that I can go anywhere with and our destination wouldn't matter, because the trip there is what would count. Friends that I would die for, open up for and tell stupid stories that didn't matter to anyone else, but would be genuinely excited for me. And I would do the same for these people. Because I love without regret or hesitation. And I love with all of my heart. Why would I not? What am I saving it for?
And finally, take enemies.
We all have them. Whether we want to admit it or not. I hate when people dislike me, but I'm not going to do anything to try and stop it. I hate when people dislike me without any reason. I hate when I dislike people for stupid reasons. But most of all, I hate when one time friends fall into this catagory. Sometimes there is no way around it. Sometimes when you are with someone for so long that they begin to drive you crazy, there is no way to go back. Things are said, feelings are hurt, but there is no way you can ever take it back. Ever. Sticks and stones, they say, but words will always hurt. You make friends by loving. You can make enemies by loving too much. Don't take your friends for granted and always treat them the way you would like to be treated. It's cliche, stupid and overused, but that golden rule is so true. Don't just assume that you will always be friends. It's a give and take thing, not just take and take.
Hypocrisy is what kills me. When I have a friend who blames me for something they do right back, then lies about it. I don't think I did anything to deserve it. But, then again, maybe I did. Why else would it happen? That's a damn good question.
I need a hug.
