You are not a good friend if you sit around and tell someone what they "need" to do. First of all, nobody needs to do anything. There are things people SHOULD do, but there's nothing written anywhere that a person has to be or do a specific something. It's everyone's opinions and place in the world that make it seem like everyone has to fit into something. Don't ever tell me I need to do something, because you'll get slapped in the face with a borderline facetious comment, and then I probably won't do what you're telling me anyway, because I'm stubborn like that and I do things for me, what I want and when I want to do them.
One of my favorite songs is Live Like We're Dying by Kris Allen. When I mentioned this, one of my friends said, "Yeah...but you don't [live like you're dying]." SERIOUSLY? Does anyone really live like they are dying? Is it even possible? If you're dying you probably don't want to jump out of an airplane...so the whole idea is whacked out anyway. It just makes for good songs and greeting cards. If we all lived like we were dying, we wouldn't have "friends" that make comments like that to us. We'd ditch them in Save A Lot where they belong.
I guess what I'm realizing is that I'm going to try to treat people even better than they treat me, even though most of them don't deserve it. Because my ulitmate wish in life is to be happy, not to have a girlfriend or a million dollars. My happiness is the only thing that really matters so that's what I choose. I choose myself and my good spirits, not anyone or anything else.
