Kind of fed up...

Wed Jan 28, 2009, 10:28 AM
I'm just kind of fed up with the way that things have been going in this new year of 2009. It makes me really sad because everyone I know is sad, or angry, or whatever. It kind of pisses me off too. What do any of us have to be upset about? We're in high school, we live in a NYC suburb on Long Island, we don't have serious problems. There are tons of people in the world that are way worse than me or anyone I know. And I know people know this, they just mope and complain anyway. Instead of wasting energy complaining, get out and do something! If people devoted half the time they spent complaining (including myself, as you can see from this journal entry) towards bettering themselves and others, everyone would be so much better off. Some may call me naive just because I'm not world weary, but personally I love my life and I don't see a reason that anyone else should be upset with theirs. Obviously, I don't know anything about what other people are going through, but still...grow up people. Stop complaining like spoiled 3 year olds about how difficult life is and start changing your life. If you don't like it, CHANGE! It's really not that difficult people. I just don't see the problems that other people see I guess. Maybe if we all could stop looking for problems and start looking for opportunities and solutions we'd be much happier. Myself included; I spend way too much time pondering the problems of other people that need my help. I enjoy helping people but sometimes you need to listen to yourself. Listen to your head, your heart, your body and you'll find out much more about yourself. Read, learn something! You'll be that much happier for it. Spend your time improving your situation instead of drowning your sorrow in your draught of choice. Instead of poking fun at those of us who have ideals and standards that we wish to live by, try and find yourself a reason to live. Better yet, find yourself a reason to die. Life is cheap, people will live for anything. Be it food, drink, drugs, money, women, God, whatever...you can find quite the number of things you would live for. Better yet is to try and find something that you would die for...friends, family, a loved one, God...These are the things that you will always have no matter what, this is what is the most important to you and this should be your focus. Follow your heart, follow your dreams. Trust in yourself. You will find what you are looking for. If anyone was offended by this (I don't know why you would be, because this journal is by no means a personal attack...It's just a general rant...) then I'm sorry I offended you. I still hope you listen to me, and I hope that anyone that is feeling hopeless, lost, tired...I hope that they can find something in here that will help them in some way, and I hope that they can find a way to help themselves out of their current lethargic state and be happy. Good luck to those who need it.

yea ive been seeing alota friends upset with life, relationship status or what have you. it is very tiring and annoying having to put up with people complaining all the time, but i think its because they want attention or someone to care about them. same reason why depressed people constantly complain. they want people to be there or understand them despite the fact there rejecting all forms of help or connection with lines like "oh yea like you care" or "you wouldnt understand". we are alot better off than alota people in this world, but not everyone spends time thinking about that. most kids our age are too busy thinking about themselves and their problems to realize how good they have it, or that any problems they have can be dealt with. being upset like that is self-destructive and self-sufficient at the same time which is partly why people have such a hard time opening their eyes to the facts about their problems and how they can be taken care of, but everyone more or less eventually learns how. you just have to stick it out and deal with things your own way whether its with help or alone or whatever. everyones gotta do things their own way and at their own pace you know?

That's why it's always important to have friends that are pulling you up, not bringing you down. Truthfully if something or someone is bringing you down you should really cut them loose. Down let someone else make any given day a bad day for you, because each day is perfectly created to be good, no matter what happens in it.

You know how the Christ says that if your eye causes you to sin, gauge it out, and if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off because its better for you to live without one body part than to go to hell with your entire body? Well I think that can somehow apply here. Don't let some outside part of you bring you down. Make each day a good day, only you can make yourself happy.

Until people realize that they actually have power over themselves I don't think anyone is going to change. It's pretty much an Atheist world that teaches that we are all subject to nature and not masters of it. It calls depression natural conditions while God calls it a sinful disease that makes a person "Good for Nothing".

And because Atheism is obviously not Christian, it doesn't have any call for redemption or salvation for mankind. There is no hope or faith or love. And there definitely isn't any power in Christ. How can a man change if there is no reason to, or no means to? It's only through faith that we can move forward. Leave depression to the depressed. If they don't want to change them eff em. Let them rot in their own self-induced misfortune.

Either way I just wish you guys used paragraphs...

But that's what slows everyone else down. That's why you have to cut people who are bringing you down loose. That's when you have to break the bonds. In a world where you're Will is all you really have, you can't let others bring you down like that.

If people are going slow, don't slow down for them. Let them die, it'd be well deserved. But if they're going slow and are asking for your help, and fervently struggling with keeping up, then help them, it's your responsibility to help the weak.

See where I'm going with this?

er...im not talking about severing ties with people, just that sometimes people dont see things as well or as quickly as some others might and that everyone more/less goes through things like being upset or pissed off more than usual.
just to leave certain people be with their issues

Yeah I know, *I'm* talking about severing ties with people. When people are overly upset or pissed off, get away from them for a while. No need for you to be around gloom and doom people. Break that bond and come back to it later.

Sheldon I agree with you completely.

Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" But Simon Peter answered him "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."-John 6:67-68
:iconmatcauthon12:
Allan, I wasn't even really referring to it that seriously this was more to just point out that people should just stop complaining all the time.

well for me personally i like to hang around a bit to show that i still care at least somewhat. some friendships are worth going the extra mile for, and its good to remember the people that never left you, even in the worst of times.
but u know, thats just my opinion

:iconrebeccarockstarr:
honestly allan, i don't think that you should go to the extreme of cutting people out of your life and "severing ties" because they're going through a rough time. the bible, after all, does tell you to be kind to your neighbor. the instruction shouldn't change if there's an issue the person is trying to cope with, it should apply all the more.

Take me to a circus tent,
Where I can easily pay my rent,
And all the other freaks can share my cares..
