I've only lived a short 20 years, but I feel in those 20 years, I have seen so much and learned so much. I know I still have a lot to learn and that i'm still very young, but I think now i've learned a lot about human beings and the way they act towards one another. So-called "friends" are sometimes really not. Friends can turn their backs on you in the blink of an eye. Friends will keep huge secrets from one another to avoid confrontation, thinking it will be better to just not tell them. In the long run, it is much better to always come forward with the truth and never hide it. No matter the outcome, everything will be better in the end. I'm not saying i'm not guilty of ever lying or keeping secrets, but I try my hardest to do what's best and be a loving, caring honest person. Also, when people are confronted about their actions, it's hilarious to see how they react. In my experiences, it's been either one of two extremes. The person is extremely apoligetic and feels so bad about what they did that they ask for your forgiveness right away. Other people will get extremely defensive and either not give any information at all, or give broad, open-ended answers, trying to cover up what they really did. Usually when i'm confronted regarding my actions, I usually think to myself, ok, they already know what i've done, if I lie anymore, i'm just gonna dig myself deeper and deeper, and it's gonna be so much worse later on (again, not to say that I always do the right thing). So, I usually just come out with the truth and fess up to what i've done. The world would be so much easier if people would just take responsibility for their own actions and not try and blame it on someone else. When someone makes a wrong decision, they can't blame someone else for what they did. The only person who can make decisions for you is you, unless you're extremely weak-minded, in which case, that's your own problem, and you need to learn to stick up for yourself. If you're caught in a situation where you feel what's going on isn't right, and you still go along with it, then you're still guilty. Human beings are extremely cruel and selfish creatures, and yet we still want to be around one another. Interesting...

Suprises. Life is just full of them. I know i've had plenty in my life. Sometimes i'll be going along in life, thinking, wow, i'm so lucky to have such great friends. Then one day, i'll find out some ugly truths, and think, wow, what crappy friends I have. Not to say that despite these findings, I still don't have other great friends. People can suprise you, in good and bad ways. Sometimes you'll have a certain opinion about someone, and you'll find something out about them, and your opinion can completely change in just that second, and things will never be the same again. My advice to everyone out there is, trust no one but yourself, and watch your back... and if you think this entry is pointed at YOU then maybe you should think about the things you've done to people and be straight up about it. You can't hide the truth forever... lies always come back to haunt you...

Enough said.
