So now that the weekend is over, i just have all these thoughts that are racing in my head.
First off, and the thing that i'm pondering most is do we prevent people from changing? I mean, we all know first impressions are bad, but do we play into that? What if someone's first impression is really who they are, and they want to change, for the better, does our judgement and lack of encouragement just keep them in that place? People look at the our pasts, and yes it think that if you have had made bad judgement, you will pay for it, but how much should they pay for it? If it is something that really can not hurt anyone, should we give those people a chance to prove that things can get better? Because i don't think we do...But i guess that also plays into being a realist and an optimist. I just get tired sometimes when people always assume that I will crash and fall, or they think of the worst thing that can happen. I just wish that people would let me change and give me a chance to change before they shoot me down. I wish there was encouragement instead of letting down.
In general you wonder why people are depressed these days. We live in a society where people are often protecting themselves, which sometimes doesn't leave room to allow people to get hurt.
Today is just one of those days...I just feel like crap, and that is okay, because it happens. I just wish i was able to say all these things in my head. BUt i should really get back to work. so i'll leave it to that thought for today.
