Hypocrites

   My message to everyone:
      Don't call people hypocrites! Calling them hypocrites makes you just as much-maybe more-of a hypocrite! You blame other people for your problems and then call them hypocrites when they refuse to deal with your problem! That doesn't even make any logical sense! All I'm trying to say is just shut up! It's really not that hard to keep your personal judgements to yourself! All you have to do is think: should I say this out loud and if I do how many people in this room will get offended?
      If you thought about this before you said anything, you would have so many more friends and so many less enemies!


   

True Friends

   Two of my friends have recently gone through a break-up/make-up. They had been making fun of each other behind their backs and hating each other. It's extremely hard to be in the middle of something like that and not intervene, yet I managed to keep my mouth shut... and came very close to not.
   Anyway they made up and started bonding over 5SOS, (the best band ever!) and hair, but that's not important. The friend that I will admit, I am closer to, would have these random emotional breakdowns so I was constantly going out of my way to keep her from tearing down the middle school brick-by-brick. I was thinking about how much I was there for her and how much other people were not. It's like that day in the sixth grade when I got annoyed at the people I usually sat with, so I moved to the far end of the lunch table. A few of the people I sat with moved with me but the ones that I got annoyed at stayed where they were and began to make fun of me behind my back. 

True Friends:
Friends are our dearest possessions and our greatest weaknesses
They have their bright sides and the sides you wish you never knew about
But friends are always there fro you for one, ultimate reason:
They Believe In You
They wouldn't be your friends if they didn't 
A true friend doesn't have to be told when you need them most
A true friend passes the test by knowing when you need them most by your actions alone
Untrue friends will wait for your cue because they don't believe in you
So choose your friends wisely and make sure you know you won't have to tell them to support you because
THEY WILL BELIEVE IN YOU

Mentality

    At church today we we're talking about patience, and the blessings that come with it. We were called on to give examples and I talked about how living with a deaf, speech impaired seven-year-old girl greatly tried my patience. 
   The leader noted that we all have trouble dealing with people and even the people we love can get annoying at times. I thought about this on the way home and how it greatly effects our mentality.
   When I arrived at my house I sat down at my desk, grabbed a post-it and the nearest pen-which happened to be green-and scribbled this down:

     Mentality:
Being with people can be hard but
being alone is worse
