words
so i haven't updated this is a while. Usually because I don't have anything to say or am too busy to say it.
Recently my friends have been writing lots of notes on facebook about how they feel and such.
But I feel like I'm not ready to spill a part of soul on a facebook note yet. What they're doing is fine for them just not for me.
A lot of stuff has been going down in this "group" of friends I'm kind of in. And honestly sometimes I don't know how to take it.
Sorry for being so vague but I'm just trying to work things out. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to live with them next year, not all of them just a select few.
People throw around words like respect, drama, gossiping, and others. When I hear certain people talk about respect, I realize the real meaning has been lost on lots of us. Not the websters version but the basic version.
Treat others the way you would like to be treated. There's a reason that's called the golden rule. I think it fits in with respect. Really it applies to almost everything we do. I also think it feeds back into our innate narcissism. Treating others the way WE want to be treated. I do think we should still stick to the golden rule, we just can't expect others to live up to it. So pretty much treat others the way you would like to be treated, but don't expect them to.
That's a nice addendum to the rule.
Of course it's hard to live your life by proverbs.
I would like to write now "I was this, this, or this would happen" but I've decided to give up on that. I can wish for so many things. I could wish for people to change, but they aren't going to. I could wish people would focus on more important issues, but I know they aren't going it. People are going to be stuck on things. And while I wish I had the answers to these problems, I don't, and no one does.
I can hope but that's just like wishing. I can live my life, how I want to and not hope or wish for anything.
All these options seem so very negative. They seem like my outlook on life is very bleak.
My outlook isn't bleak if anything I'm very happy right now, except for the few things weighing on my mind.
I suppose my point is, we can hope, wish and pray for things to happen but we can never expect them to happen. When a situation involves other people, there's almost nothing you can do.
All I can do is go talk to people, the people I still respect that is. Because after all it is what I would want them to do for me.
