Loneliness

When your feelings are in disarray and every breath you take seems to hurt, you sometimes wonder what's going on. You're lost and you have strayed from the path, nothing is as it should the world around you is confusing. It's thoughts like these that could really drive someone mad, such depressing thoughts even if they are from the heart are of no benefit to yourself or others. It may be hard but the more you think about things like this the worse you'll feel, also the whole debate whether to bottle up feelings or not is plain rubbish, bottling up feelings is the worse thing you could possibly do. What harm will come if you told a very good friend, you may worry about betrayal but if you cannot even trust your friends who can you trust. Keeping feelings in especially negative feelings harm you and those around you, it makes people nervous to be around you it makes them scared to ask what's wrong and most of all they find situations with you awkward. So unintentionally you are driving away your friends or at least creating a certain gap between them. Why would people bottle up feelings though, everyone tells you that it's bad for you and yet people still do it. It's because of insecurity, the fact they are afraid people will mock them for feeling that way, and yet their feelings are justified because not everyone understands but yet there has to be some trust people can put between friends can't they? Face it everyone goes through these stages, some just cope with it differently but bottling it up is no answer regardless, just take the plunge and tell someone because no one wants to experience another Columbine. No one is ever alone, don't get into that kind of mindset because it will slowly eat you away until you are nothing more, know that everyone experiences it once in awhile but those who are alright chose to act against it. Everyone should do the same. Nobody likes being alone and yet nobody is ever really alone, rather it is only how we perceive and interpret ideas that cause us to believe we are alone. You are not.

P.S: Loneliness is but an adjective, a word made real by those who live by it and can't break free of it's entanglement. But strength alone can not set you free rather you must set your mind free in order to see light even in the darkest of caves.

Haters

Hate all you want I did not make you read my posts, you choose to waste your time reading it under your own influence. Liking what I write is a different story. Quoting anonymous "can you make a single post without making silly assumptions?" the answer is simple Yes I can, I just choose not to where is the fun in that? Honestly I love comments whether they be constructive or a childish insult towards me, because that means there are two considerations. Either they agree with my post or they disagree and simply cannot find strong enough words to express themselves, so they resort to petty insults. (Refer to the comments in Religion) Now for an assumption, there must be some reason for people to post negatively on my blog. It must mean that my posts simply get to them, there is no other motive that I can think of for them to respond in such a way. Either they cannot accept the fact that I am right or they have another opinion, sadly in my case it is usually the former. Just remember that the reader chooses what to read, when you pick up a book and you dislike it do you continue to read it? Just like the book, if you do not enjoy my writing just stop reading it. Now do not let this post dissuade you readers from posting, in fact I welcome it as long as it is constructive in any sort negative or positive. Just bear in mind that while being the hater may be fun, but no one likes a hater. You may feel that you are witty, but you are not. If you are then congratulations, you have my sincerest respect

P.S: Don't feed your insecurities

Lectures

If you have ever sat through a 3 hour lecture in University you would understand what I mean. A 3 hour lecture is just ridiculous, after the first hour your attention towards the professor has diminished continuing for another hour is just a waste of time. By the end of the 3 hours you would have learned nothing and you would be tired. Information would not have been encoded properly and you would not remember anything past the first hour. So why do Professors insist on talking for 3 hours with 10 min breaks between intervals, instead of 2 hours, or better yet an hour. I expect the professors to be tired from talking so much, talking is perhaps more energy consuming than sitting in a cramped chair for 3 hours. In my opinion professors who have lectures over 2 hours simply have nothing better to do with their time then to talk to students, they are those who can not think of any other place they would rather be than in the school. They have no place to be afterward when the classes end, they are the loners. Why is it that whenever hour classes end the professor always have places to go to? Think about it hour classes are rarely in the evening like from 11-12pm whereas the 3 hour lectures are always the latest time possible, around 6-9pm. Those professors just live a boring existence they are the ones with a weird accent and always stutter, unsure if what they are about to say. I may be a bit harsh here but face it, no one likes sitting in a 3 hour lecture in cramped seats listening to a man drone on and on about a picture and how it relates to human perception. We get tired and we stop listening, not only is it a waste of your time but it also wastes our time. Time we could be using to do something else. I don't despise those kind of professors and I have no evidence to support my claims against them, but it just seems like the logical assumption, why else would they stay so late. I mean they leave right after the evening class and they do not teach in the morning. No one should have to suffer through a 3 hour or longer lecture, in my opinion it just is not practical.

Drinking

To young adults such as myself the only entertaining part of a wedding is the open bar. Never have I had so much free alcohol, and as it may be a temporary relief of happiness the outcome of tomorrows hangover would say otherwise. I have enjoyed the occasional drink or two and have always enjoyed the buzzed feeling, but never have I been fully hammered where my conscious self is unaware. I believe drinking is something you can do with friends and family, and I have no problems with it, but my only issue are those who choose to use alcohol as a temporary relief. There are those who seem to think that drowning in alcohol will make them feel better, and that may be so for the present but there are dire consequences in the future. I may have no right to lecture those who partake in this sort of action but think about it, does making yourself drunk and close to passing out really going to solve your problems? Everyone says confidence is key to success, have you ever considered taking the problems head on instead of destroying yourself slowly with a toxin. It's time to grow up and deal with the situations like an adult, this also applies to those who think smoking and drugs are a healthy alternative. I'm surprised by how many people think "Drinking is going to make all my problems go away, durrr" and then realize a couple years later they have alcohol poisoning or liver cancer. Then there are those who do it simply for attenion and sympathy, which is just pathetic. So please don't drown yourself in alcohol, there are much healthier alternatives that does not destroy your body slowly like talking to a friend about it, or counseling. Just learn to handle things like an adult, you have to remember you are not alone, you have friends who care and would probably be willing to carry your burden with you, afterall what are friends for?

Relationships (Guys)

How often do you overhear your friend break up with her boyfriend because she found out he was cheating, or that he was a jerk or something along those lines. It is as if once a guy is initiated into a relationship he treats the girl as nothing more than any other friend he drinks beer with and games with. Now not all of this applies to everyone for there are exceptions; but sadly it is a vast majority of guys. Then there are some guys have the nerve to ask why when the girl decides to break up. What is far worse is that girls have no way in telling and it results in heartbreak and distrust to the opposite sex, you may believe that you know everything about someone but appearances are only skin deep. Men act differently in front of women as opposed to when they are with other guys, again this only applies to a majority of guys. The only solution I can give for this dilemma is to wait, and see how this guy you fancy acts with his friends, because 80% of the time it will be the same way he treats you. Now the way I analyze these broken relationships results in 3 steps. The first is the good impression, guys show that side that you want to see and lull you into a false sense of security. The second is mid-stage of the relationship where his actual personality arises and you start fighting. And lastly is the heart wrenching break up which causes even more problems in an already twisted lifestyle. Unfortunately there is no way to stop these series of unfortunate events. You just have to remember that some guys are idiots who want a relationship simply for a relationship, and some just want it for the sake of status amongst their friends. Now I'm not bashing all guys because there are those who are the exact opposite. The basic message of this post is to all the guys, not all girls like jerks and if you are wondering why your relationships are always ending off in a bad manner, it is probably because of your personality. You should maybe think about your actions before you do it and consider the feelings of your girlfriend as opposed to what your friends think, status after all is overrated. If you can't understand even that I'll compensate and make it easier for you, it is simply to think with your head and not with your urges. To all the girls the only advice I can offer you is to wait and see, don't rush into a relationship you have a lot of time. Don't make your relationships into something you'll regret later on. Just remember there are a lot of fish in the sea, you just have to know which ones to throw back.
