Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. That goes for everyone. We're in high school. You are always going to be put in situations that you don't like. Shit is always going to happen to you. There are bitchy people out there that can't wait to take out their drama on the closest person. You just have to deal with it. Rather than throwing your hands up in the air or pointing your finger in someone's face, be mature. The more calm you stay, the more frustrated the other person gets. Don't take it personally when someone treats you like that. Understand that that person is having a bad day, like I'm sure everyone else has experienced at some point. But the next time you need to scream, save it for your pillow at home. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Think about how you would effect someone first.
Just yesterday I was writing about how good things are going. But isn't that how it always is? You take one step forward towards optimism and then relapse three steps back. Everything seems to be perfect for some odd moment, then its pulled out from under your feet in one swift second. There is always going to be some kind of force dragging you down. Not only does it have to be a person, but it can be your subconscious uncomfortable with the warm feeling of happiness. That happens much too often. People don't realize how good they have it, and for every good moment a person is blessed with, there's always a complaint to follow. Whether its a Myspace bulletin or something else.
Katie Conti taught me a very valuable lesson today. Confidence is key to everything you do in life. Have you ever noticed a person who seems to have everything in life? That person seems so perfect and everything is like it's handed to them on a platter. Well, guess what. They aren't perfect. Their hair is most likely not naturally that color and believe it or not, their life isn't a fairy tale either. They have problems too... but they don't go around complaining about how gay their mom is or how sad it is that they have nothing to wear. Things would run so much smoother if each person were to come to school with a smile on their face and think 'I am no better than anyone else. Nobody else is better than me'. Not one single person deserves to be put on a pedestal. Everyone should learn to accept their flaws, not tell the Myspace world about how fat they feel.
Amen, sista! So proud to be mentioned in your blog. Remember, always, we're all of the same skull. You are no better than me, I am no better than you.
