Life is Tough When You're Losing Friends

Life is tough when you feel people you love slipping away. People will tell you to just let those people go and you will tell yourself, that you don't need them, but do you.....need them? No matter how much we tell ourselves that we don't need those friends, the ones that ignore us, or bail on us, I don't know if we always believe ourselves. Life is tough without friends. It's killer, friends are supposed to support us and talk to us, invoking the confidence we sometimes lack but need. Other times it's good that we decide not to be friends any longer with those people, even if it hurts and feels horrible. Sometimes not being friends with that person or people means that we value ourselves. It means that we care about how we're being treated and we know that there are other people that will treat us better out there. Sometimes even though it's difficult, it is important that we stay strong and continue to value ourselves. Friends have to stand up and meet personal requirements. Under no circumstances should the friendship be one-sided....ever. There will always be more people and new people, people you will value more that the people you might have known forever. Even though Life is Tough When you're Losing Friends, keep pushing on through, I know I am.

Common Decency

Last Night I had the privileged of watching a play that my sister was in called, "Just Like Me". This is a play about people with disabilities and how they are just like us, how they want the same things, how they want to be treated the same, but it's also about how the way people treat them differently because they don't see them, they just see their disability. Now Currently I am in school and it is the day after: I was walking in the hallway with a special needs boy that I do so love. When he was younger, my mom was his assistant and taught him. His name is Noah and we were turning a corner in the hallway and we stopped because the intersection was crazy and we needed to get across. Some girl decided to shove me and kind of him into the mass of moving people. And after seeing this play, all I could think of was how rude of her. Maybe she didn't know he was special needs or maybe she had some personal vendetta against me despite the fact that I didn't know her, whatever her reason it was a stupid one. See not pushing people and not shouting for them to move just because they are inconveniencing you is called being a decent person. And being a decent person is nice. It's nice for other people and it will make you feel better to. See I don't know what that girl was thinking when she pushed me but what she didn't realize, is that Noah makes me happy and he's always happy I never seen anything but a smile on that kids face and her pushing could've hurt both of us but after she did it, all Noah said was, "That was mean, she should go in the Naughty corner."  And he was right.

Thought for the day

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be. -May Sarton

In a world that is constantly trying to change who we are it is essential that we strive to be the truest, deepest, most understanding version of ourselves. the more balanced we are on the inside, the more balanced the things around us are.
