DISCLAIMER: First of all i do realize that other peoples problems are not my problems and that i cannot possibly fix them. i know that each person is responsible for the decisions that they make and that no matter how much effort and time i put into someone that i can't make them into the person i want them to be, or that i know they have to potential of being. i know all of this. and that is my disclaimer.
So I love people. I am a people person. I also love my friends more than anything. but unfortunately i have some problems with some of my friends. sometimes they just dont see what i see. when they look in the mirror they don't see the same person i do. they don;t have the same motivation i do. they don't have the same priorities i do. they don't see themselves as priceless. they don't have the motivation that they once did. they have lost sight of the goals that were once so important to them.
some of them are changin their priorities into things that they shouldnt... or worse yet, they don't have priorities anymore. God is taking second place to other things... maybe third or fourth....
sometimes it's my place to say something... because they have put me in a place of accountablility... but so much more often then not, i can't do anything. i can't say anything. sometimes it's because it really 'isn't my business' or sometimes just because i know that they wont listen.
(May i please take a side trip? on the topic of it 'not being my business'. Hun. the way i see it it is my business. if you are my friend, and if i love you, and if i want nothing more than for you to succeed in life, and if i want you to be happy {to have true joy}, if all of that and more is true... then how is it not only my business but also my responsibility to be there. to be the one telling you that you're being an idiot. to be the one taking away your internet cord. to be the one telling you that you don't need someone there taking away your innocence to make you feel 'wanted'.
to be the one telling you that life isn't easy and that sometimes it can downright suck, i can get so bad that you can't see the sun anymore. sometimes you can't even find a reason to smile. it can even get so bad that the only reason you are living is because you haven't taken your life.
But you know what?
I hurt for you.
I cry for you.
I ache for you.
I worry for you.
I pray for you.
If I feel for you that much. If I care for you that much. If I love you that much.
It sure as heck is 'my place' to say something.
End bunny trail.)
ANYWAY, I don't always say soemthing when i know i should... because... well i can't. for whatever reason. they have lost sight of everything that's truly important and it doesn't matter what i say or what i do i can't get them back on track. because they don't want to listen to me. they don't want to admit that what i'm saying is true.
People in general hate being told that they are wrong, or that they have changed for the worse, or that they are the only one that can do anything to help themselves.
this isn't even nearly encompasing everything that I want it to... but it will have to do for now. that is if anyone is still even reading this... Spring Break '09 starts tomorow.. i'll have plenty of time to write then... Mucho Love.
