woke up early and went to youth group. it felt good to be there in the morning. it's been a while for me. the lesson was about gossip, which i think is quite funny. gossip can tear a whole group apart. it spreads quickly and silently. once it starts, there's almost no stopping it. that's kinda what has happened to our group over the past few months. idk if it is "gossip" or what, but we have slowly been diminished to our pathetic lunch group that used to be so open and free. now we just huddle at a table and we've totally abandoned the stage area. freshmen year, that's the only place i ever was. you could always find me there. rain or shine, i was there. what happened to break that up? i dont exactly remember. i just recall getting tired of the drama and thinking, there's something better out there for me. but look at what ive become now. im no better off than i was when i started the "migration". lol. weird when u look at things like that. my homework from soccer ties in with this. Rudyard Kipling's quote that we had to analyze cleary tries to send the message that we are weak apart, but strong together. sure, we are all talented, special, and uniquely equipped with skills, but when it comes down to it...we're weak as hell. lol. together though, we are immortal, strong, united under a common cause and one bond. drama and gossip kills that, and it's so obvious what it does to us when we stop and take a look. so why don't we do anything about it? what can we do about it? is it even worth the effort of trying? OUT!
