On Being Mean

So today I experienced first hand, how mean people can truly be. Not that this is a foreign or new concept for me to see, being an 18 year old, fresh out of the harsh world of high school, but today it made me think and put things into perspective for me.

I have always been the type of person to try to avoid drama as much as possible. I take what people wanna give me and then I cut them out of my life, because I find that easier than fighting the pety battle they are wanting to fight. When someone wants to be forgiven, I forgive. But I don't let people in too close to me for fear of this sort of thing. I know regardless of how someone is treating me, that there is a reason they are who they are, and I always TRY my best to avoid hitting that low point and crossing that line of, how do I put it, classiness? Anyway after experiencing what I did today, I thought to myself how sad it is that people can act this way and be proud of themselves. People don't pat themselves on the back anymore for doing good deeds, it's like the trashier, the better. The more you hurt someone, the better the come back, the better they feel about themselves. I DO NOT want to be known as that kind of person. It just hurts my heart honestly to be surrounded by that sort of attitude, and to be honest, I won't. If you are a person in my life that gets satisfaction out of bringing pain to others, don't plan on being  a part of it for long. Life is far too short and precious to be wasted in such a sad, bitter way. So love your friends and your enemies, treat those who hate you with kindness, if someone doesn't deserve a spot in your life, remove them. Do what it takes to make life worth every second. The end result is so worth it. Spend your time doing good, loving your family and friends, kissing slowly, laughing loudly, hugging tightly, you will feel good, and so will those around you :)

Anyways, enough of that sadness...today was WONDERFUL! :) I slept in, took a nice long shower, relaxed, relaxed a little more, and then did some relaxing. I had dinner with my niece and nephews, my JB, and my mother and then we went to get some froyo, and blasted the music, dancing obnoxiously and laughing. This is when I started to appreciate my day, my family makes me so happy! Those little moments are the best moments. I love, love, love life! What an incredible gift God has given us :)
