Miscommunication

I am one of those people who hates drama.
I don't have the patience, interest or time to deal with it.
People who like causing problems and spreading lies have no place in my life.

If you think that it's okay to start rumours, spread lies and sabotage friendships, you're seriously messed up and need to deal with your insecurities. No one needs a negative person in their lives.

The funny part is the person you are closest to has the power to hurt you most. The fact that they use that power against you, is just tragic.

Not only have they ruined any relationship or understanding you had with each other, but most likely, in the process of 'hating' you, they ruined your friendship with other people.

You may not have even known that something was wrong. But as usual, you're the one who makes the first step to resolve the problem. This involves having conversations you rather not have, and many tears.

Why can't people just live their life, and let everyone else live theirs?

Everyone has enough stress and problems to deal with, what kind of twisted person would just try to add to a struggle that already exists.

Is it worth spending time to fix this? You still love the person, but now you have to think about what they're really like. If they act like this once, what would make a second time any less likely?

But I am also one of those people who thinks forgiveness is a good thing.
This doesn't mean I'm wrong, but that i'm willing to move on.

It doesn't make what you did any less hurtful, it doesn't reduce the amount of time I spent thinking about the problem and it will never change what you did.

But we might be able to salvage what's left of our friendship. And you can feel bad for the rest of your life, knowing that you lost your best friend over a miscommunication. 

All the Right Steps

 (I couldn't miss the opportunity for a math pun)

Isn't it frustrating?

Everything just annoys you so much more. It's as if everything that could go wrong did. The smallest things cause you physical pain.

And by "small", I really do mean the most insignificant events.
Like:

When you erase something and those annoying little pieces get left on your paper, turning your already angry handwriting into something illegible.

When you have to keep sharpening your pencil because all the graphite (yes people--graphite--not lead) is broken inside.

When you're stuck on that one homework question for 3 hours, and you finally decide to ask for help and the person solves it within seconds.

When you thought your calculator was your cell phone and you tried to text, but all that showed up was "3948328"

Yes, these have all happened to me. And in case you didn't notice the pattern, they all have to do with homework. Specifically math homework.

Now, don't get me wrong. I actually really like math ( yes, i know. For those of you in shock that someone could actually use the words "like" and "math" in the same sentence, please take a break and go get a glass of water)

-- Hopefully you feel better now--

Anyway, it's as if time freezes. And not in a good way, like they show in movies. You know, when you see your 'one true love' and  it's 'just you two there'.  No, what I was going for was more of a dark, gloomy, stuck-in-an-abyss kind of frozen time.

But then the time comes when you finally understand. And there is really no better feeling in the world.

So, I will now return to my math homework. I wish all you fellow math-people that best of luck. 

Genuine

So, you should know something:

People think that everything must have an end goal. An ulterior motive, if you will.

But what if you just do something because it feels right at that very moment?
What if you have to make a sudden decision about something important?
What if you did something just because you love to do it?
What if you finally decide to do something for yourself and not to please others?

People don't read just so they can brag about it. They read so they can become part of a whole other world.

People don't wear clothes because they're trying to make you happy. They wear it because they feel confident in it.

People don't write to impress the world. They use it as an outlet to express themselves, get out their inner most thoughts in a creative way.

You may not like everything. And you don't have to. No one said you had to love every book, wear those Doc Martens or write to please the world.

No need to be boring and uptight, enjoy the things you like, and learn to look past the things you don't. Voice your opinion in a polite way, and try to have a social filter and know when it's better to leave things unsaid.

Most of all, don't let anyone tell you you're less than them. And when they do try to put you down -- don't worry, because...

People throw rocks at things that shine. 

Hazel

As I gaze into those hazel eyes, 

Everything seems to stop for just a moment;

I hang onto every word you say

As I gaze into those hazel eyes,

I know that I must be more patient,

But I absolutely hate when you're away

Only with you can such magic arise,

I wish you would realize,

As I gaze into your hazel eyes 

So much can be understood by one look. The eyes have the power to convey every emotion. 

In some cases, they're better at saying what you just can't put into words.

They can show confusion, passion,anger, curiosity, loneliness and love.

That one quick glance you steal of them, makes that moment worthwhile. 

Pay attention to those eyes, whether green, blue, hazel or brown. Each colour has a story to tell, so make sure you don't miss a moment. 

Interruptions

So, you're reading this amazing book. You're just a few pages into it, but it's already caught your attention.

You forget about everything that's going on around you, tune out all sounds and just imagine whats happening in the book. You can picture every scene, every conversation, every character and it's playing like a movie in your head.

You love that feeling don't you? Just being completely in the moment and relaxed?

Now imagine this :

The two characters in the book who you desperately want to 'ship' are having a conversation, and you just know that something amazing is about to happen...

Then someone comes and rips out the next three ages of your book. You'll never know how that conversation ended, and now you'll never be able to... because the person who ripped out the pages, took them away and read it themselves.

Now, they know exactly how that conversation ended, and they're not planning on letting you know.

Sucks, doesn't it?

There goes all hope you had for those two characters, you can't keep reading the book without those three pages, because those three pages could be where all the important events happened. You'd be lost and confused, and would no longer enjoy your book as much.

You can't even ask for those three pages back, because those tears in your books can never be fixed, it just wouldn't be the same.

So, now you've been brought back to reality. And let's face it, it's never going to be as good as that book you were reading....
