Oh why don't I let it consume me?

May 19, 2005 13:27

I've been feeling sick all day. Its been productive to an extent. I'm reading something that's helping me refine the ideas I have for my novel, yet I've felt disgusting the entire time. Its not really physical, I think its more on the inside, but I can't be too sure. I'm starting to hate this journal. I can't honestly express myself without ( Read more... )

It was good for you to rant, but gossiping has been around forever, and never will it die. It's just something girls do, and not all of it is bad. It's not like the little rumor/gossip middle school stuff, it's just regular. I don't go to your church, but I know how it is. It's like that EVERYWHERE and it's nothing you can stop. Girls will continue to talk about others whether you like it or not.

And that's my opinion. BTW, IM me some time.

it's not JUST girls. trust me on that one. it's everywhere and almost everyone takes a part in it. those who don't, kudos to you. because with your help maybe it really can decrease.

all I have to say is...your a part of it, because if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem. People can say oh yah those are real good ideas and yah they should stop doing that, but who is going to make/help them to stop it? Your going to have to, I mean no offesne to Kire but he is only one person, one person in the scheme of things can accomplish some things, but when many come together something much greater can be accomplished. This is on behalf of many people who in the youth group say that rumours and gossip should stop yet are doing nothing about it, and to me, it's just another reason why I'm not going to miss things that much.

why do u have to be so mean all the time and controversal? i understand what u are saying and i do and will help kire in stopping it i have told people many times to stop gossiping when i first hear it so i think i am helping but if u think im participating in it too the by all means tell me when i do it cause if you have a time the i gossiped please tell me cause i dont rember it not saying that i have never gossiped before ever but i thought u told me before that you hadent seen me as a person that gossiped so if you do now please tell me okay zach well i just want u to kno that i have no beef with you and if you have one with me then i think we need to talk.

you should write whatever you want on your journal. just remember that everyone can see it. if you're fine with that, then so be it. no one can take that away from you. let them take you off their friends list because if they have such a big problem with you showing your real self, they're not your true friends. people can have opinions about your writing but that doesn't give them the right to diss your writing. they can use constructive criticism and express their opinion, sure, but we have a variety of literature for a reason and for all different people. there is no BEST writer in the world. there's a best book though(the Bible). whoever is saying that you're asking "emo" just because you write or talk emotionally is obviously insecure with themselves. they can't truly express their emotions so they ridicule other people. they make others feel subhuman to cover up their internal problems. express yourself and don't hold back. don't abuse your emotions. use them for the good and in God's honor. don't let others get the best of you ( ... )

i'm aware i talk too much. kissmylove May 19 2005, 21:26:24 UTC

and i might have read this wrong.. but from your past few entries i can kinda understand why you might favor the seniors. but! that doesn't mean that you won't make real, new friends next year with all different people in different grades. and how do you know who takes a part in that behavior at the youth group/etc? only God knows everyone's thoughts, words, actions, and their true heart.. oh yah and it's up to you(and hopefully Jesus as well) who you like and who you will end up with. people should worry about their own lives and how they look in God's eyes instead of the gossip and jealousy. another problem with people today is how they view others just because of sins and mistakes in the past. if a person has improved for the best and God has forgiven them, you should too. you shouldn't act like YOU'RE the higher Christian because we all have problems and issues in life. we're not perfect, we're humans. another thing.. in emergency situations like someone's getting abused, then it's time to try to help the person and talk with them ( ... )

if you feel like you have to say something, then say it. no one's stopping you.

"I've felt disgusting the entire time. Its not really physical, I think its more on the inside, but I can't be too sure. I'm starting to hate this journal. I can't honestly express myself without offending or depressing someone. Everything I type out on here I have to edit thorougly, otherwise I'll get angry, ignorant comments from people who have nothing better to do but diss my writing or tell me how "emo" I'm acting."

I hate expressing myself too though... Because then I have to deal with my regrets later.

I'm proud of you though.
