been a while
Alrighty, so its been a while and i have some more feelings that need to be disposed. Shall we get started?
For the past few weeks, I've been carrying, a sort of experiment, you could say. I don't make the effort to talk to my friends, to call them, whatever. It's because when I did try extremely hard to stay close with them, especially during the summertime, I would be mercilessly pushed aside by the friends I thought of so dear.
I noticed something though, people want you more when you act like you don't care. Although the basis for my experiment was that I had heard that it was human behaviour to want something you can't have; I did not neccessarily think of it as true. As I completed my "experiment" friends that I had so long ago drifted apart from, and the very same that I so desperately tried to cling onto, came crawling back. They wanted to talk to me, they wanted to be in my life, they wanted me to know about their lives and same vice versa. At first, I was in shock, could this truly be? Could this silly little idea I had heard about from THE SIMPSONS, actually be true? I had my evidence in front of me and I finally realized how to keep my friends with me. And then I realized something, it's the same in relationships. When you try to hold on to your loved one, they want to move further and further away; but if you keep yourself a little distant from them, they don't want to leave your side (most times).
Now, this is not always true. Sometimes, this is the major cause of break-ups and divorces; the fact that the couple in question just was not close enough to eachother. I'm not saying that this theory is always correct as it is not. By me distancing myself from my loved ones, I had a lot to lose. What if they had not wanted to love me as much as I did them? What if they thought "good riddance" and forgot about me? I realized it was a chance, that had to be taken; and I did. Now, I'm not telling you to go out there and stop talking to everyone you adore because I'm telling you to. I'm telling you to cherish what you've got but, at the same time, don't cherish it too much. There's an old proverb and it goes something like this "Don't make someone your everything, because when they leave, you'll be left with nothing."

Just another day;
I was going somewhere with the rest of my family a couple of days ago and suddenly, it dawned onto me that humans honestly get bored with the simplicity of life far too soon. It's not even about the physical world either, it's all around. Like, for example, why can't friends just stay friends? Why has there always have to be some love in between there that they're too "stupid" to see? It's not true, alright. I think people should honestly stop looking at things that they seek so badly but they don't in any means need. That goes for materialistic points of view aswell, stop looking at what you ain't got, and be thankful that you atleast have enough to meet your needs. There are people all around this world that don't get shit, and they still are more thankful than any of you out there. How thankful is a hobo to be recieving a dollar? How thankful is an african child to be given a water bottle of clean, purified water? And us, we think that we're too good for that, that it's not enough to replenish us. But the truth is, they're so much better off, and so much more down to earth that they're able to thank God for little things that we get so easily that we think nothing of them. So next time you're asking your parents for money, think twice and donate some of that green to someone in need.
and there i go
Yeah so, I use to keep a diary and I'm just way more attached to my computer, so I thought, why not a blog? It's gonna have random crap written on it all the time, and most of it won't make sense, but I just need to have some place to let the other crap out. Enjoy, if you can.
