hoo-hoo! do i ever love it when people rant in their journals.
i don't really understand why people address entries to others. i mean, i edit what i put in here if i'm going to post it as a general thing that anyone can read, but strictly writing to people? no way. this is my space to write about my life in anyway i choose. if i feel crappy, the entry is going to be about what is making me feel bad. if i feel great i'm probably not going to reveal the details of it with everyone. why, you ask? well, it's because those feelings of acceptance and love i like to hold inside of me while the feelings of anger and rejection i want to let out.
is this a passive aggressive way to deal with things? (shrug) i don't know. chances are i'll say the same thing in person about what's going on that i'll say in here, as long as you're genuine in your expression of interest.
i guess i've just come to terms with other people having things make them unhappy. these things may be bigger than my things, they may also be creations of their own twisted psyche that make them feel better than me by coming out looking like they have it harder than me. (shrug) that's too bad.
people, by in large, are wonderful. their eccentricities are amusing when viewed from a distance. in close quarters, however, people can attack you for any reason. particularly if they have never spoken to you and feel like they are defending those they love.
i have aggressively defensive friends as well. and that makes me happy.
