Just Friends (HH2)

Some people believe that guys and girls can’t just be just friends. And I’m sorry but this statement is just ridiculous. People need to actually think about this before they say it. Think back to when we were little, girls and boys were always just friends, they didn’t know any better to be anything more...so what makes it not okay for them to continue to be just friends. Of course in some situations when a guy and a girl are friends they can begin to start having feelings for each other. But that doesn’t mean that happens all the time. Now in my situation, I just lost a bunch of my good friends because I became friends with some guy. They don’t like to believe that we are just friends, and for that fact, they just dropped me like I was nothing. Now obviously this showed me that they were never really my true friends anyways, but it is just a horrible feeling losing a good amount of friends to something this stupid. It just goes to show how immature people are. Guys and girls can be just friends. When you are married do you plan on telling your husband or wife that they are not allowed to have friends of the opposite sex? No, you aren’t because they are going to end up working with people of the opposite sex and of course build relationships with them. The only time you have to be worried is when it goes too far. But there is where the trust comes in. If you trust someone you wouldn’t have to worry about that. But anyways, the myth tht guys and girls can’t be just friends is immature. And the fact that people are willing to lose friends just because they don’t believe each other is just pathetic. Once people grow up they will begin to see that men and women are good friends and have good friendships without taking it further than being friendly. Hopefully one day my friends will understand this concept, but if not then clearly they are still immature and I shouldn’t have to stress and worry over it.

Jealousy (HH1)

Jealousy can be the most evil thing. Everyone is jealous at least once in their life. Jealousy comes in many different ways. Someone could become jealous because their boyfriend or girlfriend is spending more time with another boy or girl. Someone could be jealous of another person because of the car they own or the clothes they wear. Jealousy leads to envy. You begin to envy people because of your jealousy. In my honest opinion, jealousy is stupid. There is no reason to be jealous in a relationship. Being in a relationship means having trust in each other. Okay, I take that back. There are reasons to become jealous. But not to the point of being envy of people because of material things. When a person in a relationship becomes jealous of their boyfriend or girlfriend it causes the relationship to go downhill. Jealousy sucks, but you have to figure out a way to deal with it. I would love to say that it is very easy to not become jealous, but it isn't. It isn't our faults, it is society's fault. The culture we grow around teaches us that it is normal to be a jealous person. But in reality it truly isn't. There are multiple ways to stop your jealousy before it gets out of hand. For example, lets say that your boyfriend or girlfriend has a very good friend who is of the opposite sex and they like to hang out together. Now, this makes you very jealous, but first you need to stop and think...is there any reason from past encounters where you shouldn’t be able to trust your boyfriend or girlfriend together with this person? If there isn’t any reason they can’t be trusted together, then there is your first sign that being jealous of it is a waste of time. Therefore all you have to do is trust them and calm down. Jealousy can be avoided by taking a second and thinking it all through. In the end, being jealous is stupid and immature.

Venting (GG1 and GG2)

Lately I've been so unmotivated to go to school. Going to school means seeing people who I could care less about seeing for the rest of my life. Going to school means dealing with the people who just dropped you like you were nothing over something stupid. Going to school means dealing with all the bull crap that no one wants to deal with. I guess what I am trying to get at is being in high school is a buzz kill. Especially senior year, when all you want to do is graduate and actually start your life. I am so sick of people telling me how much of a negative person I am. I am not a negative person, and it is funny because the only people who actually say that, are the people who never see me outside of school. When I am not stuck in school I am a very outgoing, happy person. Of course I am not the happiest person, I do have those days where nothing seems to be going right, but most of the time I am pretty content. People in high school are so quick to judge, "Oh she doesn't do sports or participate in anything school related, she is such a negative person". It becomes ridiculous when you see people crying over the fact that high school is over. Your life hasn't even began yet, so why are you so scared to leave this place. It doesn't make sense to me. Why are people so hung up on high school? Maybe it is because high school was their glory days and they are afraid of reality. Because soon enough they are going to realize they won't be a hot shot in the real world. You actually have to work for what you want. Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be around forever to buy you nice clothes and nice cars. Eventually you are going to have to fend for yourself. Not everybody is going to like you, and in all honesty, I believe that that is why some people are so afraid of leaving high school. They are afraid of rejection or even failure. It is just such a huge reality check once people leave high school. Most of the time you are never going to see your high school best friend after high school. People go their separate ways and that is okay. Life after high school is so exciting, it is when you decide the life you want to live. You make your own decisions, you start your own life. In my opinion I can not wait to graduate high school and start my life. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. People need to realize there is more to life than high school. A high school break up, isn’t the end of the world. Failing a class, isn’t the end of the world. Losing your best friend, isn’t the end of the world. Actually in high school people start to realize who their real friends truly are. Most of the time the truth is shocking, and of course it will be painful. Nobody ever said life was going to be easy, it is what you make of it. Graduating high school is important. It gives you the chance to become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Yes, growing up involves you actually having responsibilities. Growing up means doing what you want, but you actually have to deal with the consequences on your own. Growing up means maturing. Growing up will lead you to be the kind of person you want to be.  Moral of the story is, don't be sad about high school ending, your life is just beginning!

This ones for the guys FF2

In my opinion, a guy should treat his girl like a princess. Girls go through enough in just one day. Honestly, girls are pretty strong human beings. Well I guess I should say some girls. Because not all girls deserve to be treated like a princess. I guess what I am trying to say is that if your girl gives you the world, and would bend over backwards for you, you better do the same. It is never a bad time to take her out to a nice dinner. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but just something to remind her that you are taking care of her. A girl likes to feel comfortable around their boy. They want to feel wanted. If a girl doesn't feel wanted, you are probably going to have to listen to an earful of complaining from her. Do something nice for her once in awhile. For example, buy her flowers, leave a cute note on her car, make her breakfast in bed, sing to her, whatever floats your boat. Just make sure your girl knows you care, and knows you love her. Some guys think these gestures are stupid and lame. But if you want to keep your girl, your girl, you better show her you want her. A girl wants to be taken care of. They don't want to be smothered, but they want security. Never be sketchy to your girl. In my opinion, if you have to lie to her about where you are going, then clearly you shouldn't be going there in the first place. Of course girls a royal pain to guys, but lets face it, you can't live without us. So honestly, if you want to make your girl happy, treat her like royalty, because she most likely deserves it.

Disappointments FF1

What are you supposed to do when your biggest childhood role model becomes into a spiraling cyclone? Are you supposed to act like it isn't even real? Or are you supposed to shun them from your life? This is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with, and I have been dealing with it for quite some while now. My aunt, she has always been there for me. She taught me how to ride, and how to not be scared to fall and how to handle pain. She taught me to have no fear, to do what I want. She taught me how to be the best I can be physically. She has taught me everything not to be, by example. She is an alcoholic. She is a drug addict. She is a liar. She is weak. She comes off strong as hell, but even though she does put up with the things she has to go through, she still stays. She doesn't walk away from it. I used to be very important to her. I was like a daughter to her. I looked up to her, and she knew damn well I did. So why doesn't she stop? Why doesn't she give it all up to have her family back? Why is the alcohol and the drugs more important to her than us? This is something I don't think I will ever understand. Hearing day after day that something went wrong, is terrifying. Getting a phone call saying that she has totaled her truck, and doesn't remember doing it, is horrifying. Every night I am scared to death that I am going to wake up to a phone call telling me she has passed. Either overdosed or gotten into an accident. I am young, these are things that I shouldn't have to worry about....but I do. I love her, and I always will. But there comes a point when you realize, enough is enough.

Summer is right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited. Summer means a lot of things to me, graduation, grad parties, warm weather, concerts, family, road trips, free time, and most importantly, freedom. This school has pretty much turned into a jail, a prison, a high security prison. I will never understand why 17 and 18 year olds need to ask to use the bathroom, and if they don't have a pass they need to stay after until 5:30 pm. This would result in these young adults needing to take off of work to do a disciplinary action for something that is against the 1st amendment. Once summer comes, I will never have to worry about the little things that I shouldn't be worried about. I will never have to step foot in this school again. Summer is entitled to have its ups and downs. Of course the drama isn't going to end just because everyone graduated. But it does give you more of an option to escape it. During summer I have no cares in the world. I can do what I want, when I want. At least when I'm not at work of course. I believe in seasonal depression. In winter when it is cold and snowy and droopy outside, people are more sad and down and pessimistic. But in summer when it is hot and sunny and beautiful outside people are more upbeat and happy and optimistic. Summer is a time of happiness and freedom. That is just another reason why I want to move down south. It is pretty much summer there all year round. It truly wouldn’t bother me to never see another snowflake again. As you can probably tell I am stoked to graduate high school and just be free from everything.

Lately I have been finding it very hard to trust people. I have always had trust issues but I've always had at least one person who I can truly trust. But for some reason people keep blowing my trust I had in them. And I'm sorry but once you lose trust from someone it is impossible to get it back. You may think your best friend will be there for you no matter what, but when it comes to them being there for you when they have something else going on, it is like they aren't even there. I really just can't stand self centered people. The kind of people who think that their problems and their live are more important than anything else in the world. The thing is they are at the top of the world right now, but once reality slaps them across the face, they'll be screwed. People in my generation are very naive. They think that everything will be handed to them and that everything in life is simple and they will be royalty no matter what. Well they really need to think again. High school is nothing compared to the real world. In the real world there are bills to be paid, and work to be done, and responsibilities that parents and significant others can't do or buy for you. One day these kind of people are going to regret their decisions they made in the past. They are going to beg like hell to get them back. Because the people who were constantly there for them and were always pushed aside, won’t be there anymore. They will have lives to live and things to take care of. When people think that high school is amazing and that since they were so popular in high school that they will be popular and successful in the real world it just makes me laugh. No one truly knows where they are going to be in 20 or 30 years, but they should at least have a realistic idea of it.
