eeeek i just realized how insensitive/oblivious i can be sometimes. im sorry for how carried away i get when i talk...
well i have a recommendation for the online masses. being that its christmas, or it is at least for another hour or so, i suggest that you take a step back. try to look at things from a new or impartial perspective and realize that in the long run, it doesnt matter who was wrong or who was right, who got in the last word or who made who feel the guiltiest (is that a word??). what truly and honestly matters is that you let people know they are loved. i mean really, think about it... would you rather have someone know how you feel about them and find out they dont reciprocate, or never tell them and then find out that they felt the same when its too late? personally id go w/ the former of the two, because kids, i promise you, if they dont feel the same way then they dont deserve you anyways. why would you want to waste your time on someone who doesnt consider you worthy of theirs? think about it. i dont mean to sound like a hallmark card, but especially at this time of year, we need to realize what matters. and realistically, the time we share with the ones we love will always outweigh the stupid grudges that we feel the need to hold. there really are people out there who think that individuals wouldnt care if they were gone forever, i witnessed one this evening... and i can tell you kids that thats a shitty feeling. i can also tell you that they are most likely wrong, cuz i know that even with the people i claim i hate, i would never ever find any joy in losing them from this world. so please, if its the only productive thing you do over break, tell people you love them, tell them you care, tell them you wouldnt be okay w/ losing them forever and that they are an integral part of your life. cuz honestly what have you got to lose?
i love you all. dont worry, you'll get personal "i love you"s from me too. but this is an all encompassing one as well. :)
