Well I have about an hour to kill before the concert tonight, but I do
still have to get dressed and what not. But I figured I'd write in here
first.
The preschoolers left today, it's sad. I'll never see any of the
four-year-olds again probably :-(. But who knows what little tricks
life has up it's sleeves lol.
I'm so sick of two-faced people. I'm tired of people who act like
they're mad at one person and will just be fine with them the next,
especially when the thing about the person hasn't changed to make the
situation any better. It makes no sense. Hmm I guess that may sound a
little hypocritcal seeing as I did that to Sam now that I think about
it. But I guess I thought she changed and maybe she did I dont
remember. But what ever, if I'm hypocritical, oh well. I don't care,
it's just all so annoying. And I hate how someone will act like they
hate them but then act all flirty with them, or tell them it's over but
then lead them on and five other firls at the same time. It's fucking
ridiculas how people treat people now a days.
And I hate how people put other people's opinions about them before
their own opinions. Like in Ealy Childhood today one of the teenagers
had a new pair of shoes, but some people didn't like them and commented
that. And she got all worried and kept asking whether or not she should
not wear them because of it, even though she liked them. I hate it. I
hate how people can make other people feel so self-concitious about
themselves like that. People need to learn to have some self
confidance. Who cares if someone doesn't like your shoes. It's not the
end of the world.
Hmm I just re-wrote my speech on friendship, which I'm posting in here
at the end. But after writing this entry, I'm tempted to write a new
speech on how I hate the way people treat other people. Yeah I think I
might do that.... oh well here's my friends speech.
"Friend" A six letter word, but it can make or break a person. If you
look the term "friend" up in the dictionary, you'll find the definition
"a favored companion." But any one who has ever had a true friend knows
it's so much deeper than that.
It takes only a moment to begin a connection with a person, but it
takes time to build the trust necassary for a frienship. Since trust is
the ability to have faith in another person, you can't just give it out
to everyone like a flyer without getting hurt by the majority.
Once trust is establied- that's when the best part of a frienship
occurs. It's a wonderful thing to have someone to help you through the
hard times but it's just as great having someone to be there when
everything's going great.
A friend is someone you can hang out with, and experience new things
with. A friend helps to bring out the best in you. A friend helps show
you it's okay to be yourself, a friend helps you understand a
friendship takes to people with give and take. A friend know and
doesn't push your morals. A friend does what they can to help you. A
friend knows that they must uphold their side of the friendship by
always being honest and trustworthy.
But the trust can be shaken fairly easily. It can only take a split
second to mess it up, just one slip of the tongue to screw it up.
Although it usually can be restored through time. It doesn't always
come easy, if at all. If you can't trust your friend, your friend can't
trust you.
But if the trust is lost in a friendship, that's when people get hurt.
I'm sure just about everyone in here has lost a friend due to one
reason or another. Whether it be because of rumors, lies, deception,
death, moving, or what ever the case may be. So I'm sure the majority
of you knows how it feels to lose a friend.
One of the worst ways to lose a friend is through the loss of trust.
Such as if a friend continuesly lies, or if something told in
confidence has been spread. with what seems the rest of the world.
Because you've now got someone on the loose whoh knows everything
personal you've ever shared with them; and now they have no reason not
to keep it private. Unless they truly were a good friend, and don't
want to risk doing further damage in order to protect what friendship
there was in hopes to redress their mistakes.
But the worst enemy to have is one that has been a friend. Not only
because they know all your personal information, but also because it's
hard enough to loose a friend, especially a good one, but to have to
have them hate you, or you feel forced to hate them, it's unbareable.
But each friend you make is worth it because everyone has something
they can teach you. Whether they can help you in school, or teach you
the meaning of selflessness, or teach you how to get along with people
better, or just help you realize it's okay to be yourself. Even though
there's a risk that someone might hurt you, it's worth it because- in
the end- even if they do leave for one reason or another- it'll all
make you stronger.
With this, I would like to share a quote by our former first president,
George Washington, about what his veiws were on friends. "Be courteous
to all, be intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before
you give them your confidence. True friendship is the plant of slow
growth, and must undergo and with stand the shocks of advirsety before
it is entitled to the appelation." In other words, don't rush into a
friendship without learning who they are first, by seeing how they
react in different situations to better understand who they are- before
they deseve the title "friend". Because a friend isn't a label, it's a
promise. And this is why a friend is more than just a "favored
companion".
