Famous Abuse

Every week I sit on my couch with this "post new blog" page open trying to think up something to write about. It drives me absolutely insane because when I do not have access to a computer I have a million things that I would love to write about. Now that I'm finally here my mind goes absolutely blank. It is like this page makes me nervous.

One thing that is all over the place is the Rihanna and Chris Brown fiasco. I am not one to really get into celebrity gossip but that is insane! Chris Brown totally just ended his career. What was going through this guys mind to beat on his girlfriend and think he would get away with it? They are both constantly in the public eye. They blow their nose and it is all over the news. He's insane, I hope that was worth his career!

That was not the point of my entry though. I hope that if any good comes out of this situation it is that people become more aware that domestic abuse is out there. Most importantly that it could happen to anyone. No matter how famous, prominent, or good you think the person is it is still possible. People should take a closer look into domestic abuse and that it may not even just be physical. Verbal abuse is just as bad. People tend to turn their head in abuse situations, feeling that is none of their business. Which I can somewhat understand but I feel that privacy is a lame excuse to allow it to happen. Someone you know and love is being hurt either physically or emotionally. No woman or man deserves any type of abuse.

Life's Downs

After I got out of school yesterday my mom told me some saddening news about a family member. We were not terribly close during the last few years but we were close at some point in my life. Even though I did not see much of her anymore it still makes me really sad.

It is times like these that make you realize life is unpredictable. No one could have possibly saw this coming. I think I feel most bad for my mother. In the matter of about 3 months she has lost a mom, a sister, and now an aunt. It is hard to accept losing someone. It must be even harder losing three.

Insincerely Yours

Probably a year ago I met this girl at a party. She was the girlfriend, or maybe special friend, of this guy I've known since high school. She seemed to be really nice. My friends and I hung out with her for a majority of the night; it seemed as though we had made a new friend. Weirdly, every time we've seen her since that night she's been nothing but nasty towards us. She constantly gives us dirty looks and acts like we just ran over her dog or something of that nature. I am not at all exaggerating either, she literally started disliking us the next day!

I recently just saw her and she's still just so bitter for what seems to be no reason at all. All of this made me wonder why people put such feeling into disliking someone. Is there some sort of satisfaction from being mean to people you do not even really know? After thinking about it a lot of people do this. Walking down the street, or especially on a school campus, you see so many people watch someone walk by and completely bad mouth them. Some of these people they do not even know! It's completely ridiculous and such a waste of time. You get nothing out of this so just move on with your life! There is so much more out there to focus on than some person you supposedly don't care anything about.

I'm not getting into deep though about this because I'm hurt or anything. I personally do not care if you dislike me but what is the purpose of always trying to make it apparent. I just do not get it. This girl I mentioned in the beginning knows nothing about me or my friends. She got to know us all of one night together and already made the decision to think we're bitches. What makes the situation even more ridiculous is that fact that she practically made herself our best friend that night. Where she gets all this hate from, I really don't know. At this point I could not really care less but what gets me is that she always has to make it known that we are not her favorite people. It seemed as though she was putting so much effort into being our friend. Now this girl literally goes out of her way to get in our eyesight and give us dirty looks.

It makes me think that you have to have no real life of your own if you can focus all your energy on disliking a random group of girls. I guess my real point of this blog is to say if you don't like someone please do not go out of your way to make it known. Unless there is some amazing justifiable reason, please do not be lame.
