Okay, so I want to talk about something rather important today. Well, kind of. It's a touchy subject and I want no one to get offended in this post today therefore...well, let me stop there. I was going to say don't take it personal, but well quite honestly, it is personal. But I guess this is just something that has to be said, and I'm sorry if you can't put on your big-girl panties and deal with it.
Friendships have become a segregated concept in many ways. You have your friends you can talk to no matter what, the friends who said they'd never judge you yet talk about you to others, your friends who say they are there for you when you all know they're not, the friends who you promised "to be bffs with forever" in third grade and frankly, they just won't leave you the hell alone. You have the friends who you sit with in lunch, the friends you hang out with in this class, or this class. The friends who are friends of friends. The ones you met online through a variety of ways, the friends who you haven't really talked to in three years but still consider them friends. Friends you're only still friends with for the sake of your family or social life.
I think you pretty much get the point. And may I just point out something? Read through that list and you'll see one type of "friend" that truely is a "friend." and that, my dear reader, is the first.
A friend is someone you know you can rely on no matter what, someone who will never judge you or betray you. A friend is someone who will do what they can to protect you and someone who keeps your secrets. You can go to a true friend at anytime and they'll welcome you with open arms. For most, there isnt many of these true friends. For me, I have one true good friend. And well, he just happens to be the love of my life. Two in one, right? Well, anyway, back to point.
The main point is people have many acquaintances, not friends.
I dont know, maybe they just cant spell acquaintances or it's too much for them to say so they call these acquaintances "friends."
I want you to seriously sit there and think of how many people you can seriously call a friend--someone you can go to no matter what and they wont judge you or betray you.
THen think of everyone you call a friend. They're acquaintances, people you polietely talk to to pass the time, people you're friends with for social or familial reasons. No one you really are truely friends with.
I guess, my rant is over, with this last statement.
I know who my true friend is.
Do you?

Rite of Passage
So as we all may or may not know, I had to have an MRI recently. Those who know me well, know that I am very frightened by hospitals, any kind of hospital for any reason. Any kind of medical staff for any reason. I don't like going to the doctor's even. Get my point?
Okay, so I had to have an MRI and I was terrified. ((For those who care, I'm fine.)) And I told my boyfriend, James about how scared I was that they might find something life-threatening or something of a lesser degree but still detrimental.
So he told me, "It's just something you have to do."
And that my friend, is today's topic of rant. People today don't realize that though you may not want to do something, you still have to do it. It's a rite of passage, of sorts.
For example, I didn't want to get an MRI but yet I had to in order to find out what was wrong with me. An example that might hit more close to home?
You may not want to go to school or work but you have to in order to get the most out of life. And if you are one of those who think, no, you don't need school or work to get the most out of life, let me tell you rigth now that you are very wrong my friend. If you don't go to school you don't get a good job. Don't get that job, or show up to that job, and you know where you get? No where. You get nowhere. You may not like it, but that's just what you have to do.
It's a rite of passage that you must have.
It's like growing older. Who really likes sitting in poop all day? No one but that's what you go through as a baby, to get to that point in life where you become the diaper-changer. Who wants to babysit nonstop when you'd rather be out with friends? No where, but in order to get that freedom, you have to babysit, to please your parents enough.
But I'm getting off point.
The point my dear friend is that you have to do one thing in order to get another. Whether you like it or not. We all go through some things and we don't always like doing it. Like going through adolesence. You don't like the bad acne, or horrible high school drama, but it's a rite of passage my friend, something you must do in order ot survive. You don't like it but you must do it, my dear friend, you must.
The main message I think today, is that you don't always like what you must do but that doesn't change the fact you have to do it.
So quit procrastinating and worrying about it.
Just suck it up and do it.
Let it happen.
Until next time, my faithful readers.
