its funny how one night can almost change your whole perspective on life...
i went to youth night with mataya and her church....kim and clairssa were there and we had to write things about ourselfs and they wrote i hate preps and mataya and i are "classified" as "preps" and so we got into this big decussion bout hate and stuff and my the end of the night kim clairssa mataya and me were all talking and working everything over...and we are going to talk to them in the morning and sitt with them at lunch...and now i think how mean i was to josh mackie...sure he wasnt the cool guy or anything but still i think i could of tried a little harder not to be mean to him...this rule should apply to all of us "if you dont have something nice to say then dont say at all" and u know what i may sound like a little kidd but maybe thats all i am is a little kidd...so when u read this TRY to think twice before u say something mean to anybody cuz u know it could hurt them really bad=(...
heres a story mataya told me that would kind make u think twice...i think its from an email....
one day this guy was walking home carrying his books and he was kinda like a "nerd" and got picked on all the time and the jolks and football players live like right across the street from him and the knocked down his books but one of them stayed behind and helped him with his books and after that they became the bestest friends that year..so as the end of the year came the guy that wasnt very cool was selected for valen victoiran and had to write a speech...so at the cermony he was reading the speech out and was saying "i would like to give thanks to my only best friend (the football player) if it wasnt for him i would be dead because that day that i carried my books home from school i was going to do suicede and i was carrying my books so my mom wouldnt have to go to the school to get them out of my locker"
i think that is so sad! and it makes u think..if u hated someone and picked on them all the time and called them names what if they died the next day...u would really never get the chance to say sorry u have to live with the quilt of knowing how mean u were to this kidd...
thanks mataya for taking me tonight and i cant wait till the retreat with u!!!
