From the nicely put words of Mr. Schmus:
And remember, if someone really loves you, what would they want for you? They would want the best for you. They would want you to grow in your faith and draw near to God, and not be distracted from that. Does this boy really love you? I know he's fond of you. I know he would like to spend time with you. And again, that feels really good. But I suspect that is largely due to his own wants and needs, more than out of true love for you. If he loved you with the sacrificial love of Christ, he wouldn't pressure you. Wait for that love! His family putting pressure on you, the same is true for them. They love him, not you. I'm sure they like you, but they don't have your best interests at heart. It's not their fault—they don't know Him. Don't judge them for it. Just realize that real love is found in Him and through Him. What the world has to offer is a lame substitute—basically two people using each other to get their needs met. Hollywood tells us to think otherwise, but please know, true love is rare, and when it's found, God is as the center of it. It takes a heart of sacrifice and humility to truly love, and that takes the Lord.
Wow.

Aside from all that sacrificial love..I feel the need to rant right now.
So this whole video project for our english final ended up in the toilet, and I don't even really know the real source of the problem except maybe i just have the sh!ttiest luck right now. But why the hell did I have to waste 15+ hours hauling ass when the rest of my group was at El Pueblo's pigging out, shopping, or playing xbox 360? This isn't the first time I let my peers take advantage of me. Every day or other day someone asks to see my homework/classwork or "hey, what was on the quiz?", and I've never EVER said no to anyone. I mean, I don't really mind if someone needs to copy calc homework because hey, calc is some real, hard stuff, and usually these people are either A) my friends and I actually talk/know them or B) they actually put in some effort in getting their homework done. But in English 4 and Econ, these kids feel the need to copy when our classwork is simply copying vocabulary words directly from the book. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO REWORD THE DEFINITIONS! It couldn't get any easier than that.
Yes, I know that I chose to be in these "normal" classes, but I didn't choose to do everyone's effing work. And yeah, I know that I let people copy me, therefore I'm consenting and agreeing that these peers can use me, but in the end, I know that it's only detrimental to them and their future, not mine. I thought that if I didn't take AP Lit/Gov/Econ etc, I'd be a lot more chill with less work, but I guess that's just how life is right? The grass will always be greener on the other side, and we'll always be going through some type of obstacle which will ultimately result with the greater good in the (hopefully near) future.
I didn't get everything out, but I don't feel like ranting anymore.
Plus, I should've been memorizing calc formulas instead of blogging. =T
Good night <3
Wow.
