Friends

Sometimes I wonder what the word friend really means. I'm not wondering about the dictionary definition, but I'm wondering what the word means to people from experience. To me a friend is suppose to be there for you. Your friend is suppose be there almost like a family member. I think anything less should be called an associate. I've had some real friends and I've had some fake ones. I think everyone should be careful about the people they call their friends. It's amazing to me how a person will stick around a person claiming to be their friend when deep inside they envy the person. I dislike fake friends. It seems as if no one was taught principles. I believe that the main reason friends turn fake is due to jealousy. Sometimes I wonder if I have or have ever had any real friends. Looking back on most of the people I have called my friends in the past there are only a few that I can say weren't fake. Some talked about me behind my back and smiled in my face, and some just tried to bring me down every chance they got. I guess I just attract fake ass people. I tried keeping to myself, but its hard tying to go through life without friends. I think I like having company way too much to not have friends. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with having friends. I'm just trying to stress the fact that you should be careful with how much you show a person about yourself because the more a person knows about you the more they can hurt you. So don't read this and go thinking that your friends are fake because that may not be the case. I'm just saying know the people you're hanging with because you can be doing bad and it can be all because of the negative people you surround yourself with everyday. KNOW YOUR FRIENDS.

Live Your Life

I think everyone should make the most out of life. What people sometimes fail to realize is that we're not going to be here forever, and we only get one life to live. Some people sit back and let life pass them by. Maybe its because they're shy or they just felt they didn't have much of a purpose in life. I think people should express themselves as a individual to the fullest. For a long time in my life I would keep quiet about certain things in life that I felt I should have a say about. Sometimes in life you just have to let people know what's on your mind. Many people go through life wishing they had done things they didn't do or wishing they could go back and do something differently. If this sounds like you then I am telling you to stop letting life pass you by. Cherish every moment as if it would be your last. I love to see people having fun and happy. I hate to see someone's feelings get hurt or see someone feel left out. You can change a person's life just by being their friend or just by helping them meet new friends. I guess I just love to help people. I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I guess I just have a soft spot in my heart for people sometimes.I guess it comes from my grandfather who can sometimes be too generous to people. What I am trying to say is don't let anything stop you from living and enjoying your life. Be out going. Be different. Be live. Be whatever you want to be, but just be you. I hope this blog really helps someone.

Love

I don't think there is a better feeling in the world than to feel loved by someone. Many people have their own definition of love, but my definition of love is being willing to go to extremes for the person that you love. I think if you really love someone you will make sacrifices for them. You're not making the sacrifices just for show but because you care about their well being and happiness. Its nice to know someone actually cares about you. Although, I do think there is a difference in loving someone and being in love with someone. Someone you love can be your mom or any family member or a friend, but being in love with someone is different. When you're in love with someone you will sometimes find yourself putting them before the ones you love. Being in love means that you will go out of your way to show a person that your love for them is real. When you are truly in love with someone you will feel what they feel. You won't be happy when they're feeling sad or down about something. I think people today use the word love too meaninglessly. Love is a beautiful feeling, but it can also hurt sometimes. It is a hurtful feeling having to seperate from someone you love or is in love with, no matter what the reason. Although I am not in love with anyone at the moment there are many people in which I do love dearly.

Bullying

I think bullies in school is a major problem today that should be addressed and taken very serious. Children who are bein bullied at schools and in their neighborhoods tend to be more stressed out and can often be lead to do things that they later on regret. Kids who have to deal with bullies sometimes turn to weapons because they feel that they are in danger or simply because they feel miserable. I think there should be serious punishment for bullying. It is a issue that is being treated too lightly. A person's child could be getting bullied and never speak of it because their afraid. It is a sad thought of someone's child going to school and being bullied everyday and being pushed to take another child's life. Most people don't look at bullying as being serious when its their child doing the bullying. It seems as if it doesn't catch their attention until a crisis happens. Bullying not only goes on with children and teenagers, but it also goes on with adults. Some adults feel that they are being bullied at their jobs maybe to do something that they don't want to or is not suppose to do. This sometimes keep employees from getting the promotions they deserve and makes many employees unhappy with their job. If it was up to me there would be a strictly enforced law against bullying. We have to wake up and realize that bullying is not a minor problem. It is a major problem that causes lives everyday.
