Bad Day

I dislike arrogance. In fact, I truly despise it.

But, come on people. Enough is enough. Lack of arrogance doesn't have to mean lack of self-confidence.

So you think you're not pretty! So you can't take all AP classes! So you're not as popular as you'd like!

There's more to life than that, people.

Are you nice? Good for you (and I don't just mean to cool people, I mean nice as in, "I don't particuarly want to talk to this guy ever again but I don't want to be mean"). Are you humble? Great job (because there's a big difference between humility and self-deprecation, let me tell you). Are you really your own person? Keep at it (How many people truly are? I don't know). Are you witty? This isn't as important as the others, obviously, but it will carry you farther than silky smooth hair.

About that pretty hair, people: just because you think you're ugly, or stupid, or worthless, doesn't mean you are. In fact, EVERYONE thinks they're scum right now, or else I wouldn't have to be writing this.

Besides, all of that's subjective, isn't it? One person thinks different from the next. So, isn't it better to form your own opinions?

Please people. Stop worrying and calm down. That should help you more than agonizing over minor (and sometimes imagined) faults.

hear, hear...

though i'm slightly afraid of you now... >.>

just kidding... ish...

but wow...

iono...

lemmee start over and say all of that again, but more articulately this time...

how is one to know what being truly nice is, when one doesn't know what is being said behind anyone's back?

how is one to know what true humility is, when deep down, they're full of pride?

how can one be one's own person, when in this day and age, simply one personality will not suffice for every situation?

it is human nature, my friend, to think that one is lacking in all these qualities, especially if one has them.

and does anyone have them all the time?

something can turn a nice person into a mean one, a humble person into an arrogant one, or a self-knowledgeable person into one with an identity crisis...

the moral of this whole (contradictory? perhaps? i dunno, i can't tell...) shpiel thing is... well... nothing, really.

but the point is, this made me think about something that actually matters and stuff, and i haven't done that in a very long time.

so here's looking at you, bagel.

thank you.

*le gasp* a post from Allie? its... like... OMG!

But yeah.. I agree w/ ya, but it is pretty hard to be yourself all the time... especially if you don't know how *yourself* is supposed to act.

Gah. Sometimes I just wish I knew how exactly other people saw me. I think if people really knew what others really thought of them, they would be better people.

But then again, who's to say.
