hey everyone... havent updated in a while. i was on an Lj diet for a while. hah. not gonna say much. quantity is better then quality right? I have noticed that im not very good at somethings my friends are. for example swimming is one. another one is halo. But there is always a positive to a negative. the positive that by always getting beat by my friends, i am boosting their confidence up, and that is good. People say that you shouldnt let things get to you that dont matter, but whether my friends admit it or not, they automatically think, "oh i can beat eric, hes a joke". I dont like being a joke,and of course im gonna try my hardest to prove you wrong. small things add up.
lately i have been pretty selfish. that is something i admit i am not liking about myself. i have been humble my whole life putting others before me, when is it time for people to give me the same respect i give them? am i being to hard on myself you think? I dont think ill ever gain the same respect i give people though, maybe i should stop trying.
At work the other day, i noticed people talking behind my back, teasing me, and saying oh man that guy is weird. they may be just joking, and its something they dont really think, but the thing that probably ticks me off the most, is when people judge who you are. I havent had a good conversation with anyone from work. how the heck do they think that they have the right to make fun of me when they know absolutely nothing about me?
getting pretty excited for moving out of my house. my parents are going through withdrawal from me already i can tell. today my mom busted out my videos from when i was 3. i kinda feel bad, because right now i dont miss them, and im never really around. I am having fun living my own life. Its time for me to move on, and they want me to be 15 forever.
One of my friends has an analogy that noone is a good person. personally, i think that is bullcrap. If he is saying that everyone is a bad person because everyone sins, he is partially right. but god doesnt want us to be perfect. he understands that we are not perfect, we all commit sins. I have made a few major mistakes, but does that really mean im a bad person? I have done a lot of things that are good, i have been a humble person my whole life. the good Far outweighs the bad. i do not go look for bad things. Now i know i can be a better person, especially lately. however, one event doesnt make you a bad person for life, god gives us more chances, it is an ongoing thing that you can change. God allows Anyone who accepts him and his son to go to the kingdom of heaven. It says in the bible, you can cast the stone only when you yourself are free from sin. Its impossible, cant happen. he is being wrongful by saying that everyone is a bad person. quite frankly, it seems a little farfetched myself. So, defend your statement if you can, i dont mean to attack you, but im sick of hearing you say that all the time. your statement is so pessimistic, and kind of sad.
