So my brief return to livejournal...
When i was in China i realized a lot of things.
My dad and i are more alike than i ever thought.
People are all the same.
Communism is not that bad and possibly the only way to control 1.3 billion people.
More than half of the world sleeps with in ten feet of a hole in the ground that they use as a bathroom.
There are not many things that truely matter.
The following are the only things that matter
Family
Working hard
God
A friend
Being the best person you can be
and memories.
Everything else just doesn't really matter.
You see, i really do believe this. But it is really hard to remember it when you come back and life throws you small problems that seem much larger than they really are. I am trying so hard to put it all into perspective but i can't.
This is making me less nostalgic and it is making graduation a little easier. Ive got to move on. I have gotten everything i can out of high school and it is just beating me down now. High school is tough right now and i just want to give up and move on.
In the last week i have learned the follow:
The people that you thought would never let you down will. And when it is at a most important time.
Problems can get solved easily but they don't anyway.
Some people just suck. And there is nothing you or anyone can do about it.
Most people are basically selfish.
Nothing is 100%.
Sometimes people change for the worst.
Bad people tell themselves that they are amazing people. Really they are just glutinous and mean inside.
Less people care than you'd think.
The prospect dance show was fun.
I asked my mom to come and she did.
Some people will always give you a dirty look.
Some people just cant move on, just cant leave the past in the past and smile.
Small acts of kindness can improve someone life a lot over time.
You have to make yourself happy.
Chinese people will eat anything.
Most of the Great Wall is vertical.
I watch to many movies.
Sometimes i just don't get it. Why would someone be mean when it would be just as easy for them to be nice. Why would someone choose to hurt someone instead of help them.
"When your a kid you see the life you
want and it never crosses your mind
that it might not turn out that way."
This is everything.
