the strong become weak

so there are people you look up to. pretty much everyone has one. why are the people who make these awesome role models the first to cave under pressure? the slightest temptation just makes them give in? it's sad when you look up to someone and strive to be like them, but they make a decision that just puts you in shock. i hate the fact that i

don't forget that role models are just as human as you or i. the reason it seems that they're the first to make a mistake... or first to give in... is because they're the ones everyone is watching. some people watch and wait hoping that a role model will mess up; others watch and wait to learn all they can and expect nothing more that perfection.

lots of times role models don't even know that people see them that way. they don't mean to let anyone down. and if they're the kind of person a role models should be then if they knew that they did let you down i'm sure they'd be sorry.

just my thoughts on the matter... use role models to make yourself a good person but don't rely on them

wow i just re-read that and i can't spell for beans

yeah well i guess i didn't mean to make that quite as pointedly as it sounded, but you make a very valid point. thanks jacob. :)

Amen, Jacob Post. We are all human, except you, you're super-human.

Yes Hillary, people disappoint, but don't complain, you disappoint too...

everyone is human like jacob said. i know how you feel to be disapointed by someone you care about. it sucks. one thing to add to your thought about not relying on your role models. a good reason not to is because sometimes you develop into a better person than they are.

i love you cassie.

Oh, I love your picture, it's awesome. Does everyone see that picture? I took it. With Joseph and Hillary. On an overpass. Which I found while with Joseph, Lauren Howe, and Kevin, next to some freakin' big flames, over an interstate, on the best day ever...

hey hillary, well jacob post seems to have taken the words out of our mouths. i understand what you are saying, but everyone messes up, and everyone has the right to mess up. and just because someone does something that they arent suppose to do, that doesnt exactly make them a bad person. i love you!!
