Gossip.
oh how it can be the greatest thing ever, or it can ruin your life. everyone always says "dont listen to gossip, its never true" but then why does everyone talk about whats not true, and takes it so seriously?
the point of gossip is pure entertainment. everyone loves to talk about other peoples problems just to avoid their own sad disfunctional life. everyones life is disfuntional. no ones is perfect, just with gossip you can take yourself out of your life for a moment and talk about someone elses problems.
im not saying gossip is bad. i will admit i do love a good gossip story. i wonder where it comes from then, if they arent supposed to be true, where does it start? it can just be made up. i know its obvious its like the telephone game, where it starts off one thing and after the lone grapevine of people it turns into something else, but there should still be some truth to it right? maybe a small speck.
everyone always gossip about things that are bad too. no one ever goes around telling something good about someone, its always about someone doing something with someone else. Which you know, it may not be the exact thing they did but you know they were some how connected in some way. maybe not in the way everyone is saying, but you do know its some how connected in some small miniscule way.
There is those certain cases, where gossip totally ruins every aspect of life. people are mean and will believe things that they hear, even if they may know it wouldnt be true at all. but after a while everyone starts to know and talk and talk, then everyone starts looking really two faced. They act like your best friend when your around, but you know the second you turn around they will be talking and telling someone another story. i mean after a while things like that get to your head, you get a little parinoid, thinking everyones talking about you, and they know everything you have done and you think they even make up stories of things that you havent done. which can really control your life.
gosh that would be really scary to have happen.
Label Me.
Why is it that everyone must always label everything. anything you do is always labeled. you do really good in school, your labeled a book worm,smart, and have no life. you do bad, then your a slacker,your not smart,and is a drugie. it goes for anything, you do one wrong turn your a bad driver. if you do something once, does it mean that you are that forever? or is it easier for people to label someone else so that they can better understand the person. With those labels too, come the stereotype everyone thinks you are. I think its just easier for people to think you are the stereotype of a label so its easier for them to know you, instead of ACTUALLY talking to you. they can just hear things about you and just assume you are one way. i must admit though, i do try and label things in my life, or label people. i try to label something so i can figure out what exactly it is, cause i hate not knowing what something is in my life. i like to know whats going on around me, or things that are affecting me. its the whole "if you dont know whats going on in your life or things that are happening, your not really controlling your life" type thing. i just think i can control whatever in my life, but i know im trying to learn that there are alot of things that are out of my power, that.. i cant control, that just happen. i have to accept i guess. which i never really can, im a bit of a control freak with my life. its the one thing thats truely mine, and i cant control everything in it.
P.S
Oh sorry about the whole darkness sorta of the entry, i was just rereading it. kinda serious. Just, things get me thinking. im really not like everyones life is SO MESSED up blahblah stuff. im just saying peoples lives are all peachy keen june cleaver life style.
Edit
Any truth to this?
love is exactly what you think it is. its nothing more nor less. you love someone fully or none at all. the moment you want your lover to change is the moment love has ended.
