Best Imatation of Myself
Ok, really title has nothing to do with anything else, just like a French movie. I am easily districted like a cat and a piece of string. I plan out things that I need to do, yet become distracted much too easily. I have become fat and lazy where anything that is worthless takes precedence over those that have real value, why? Well I have grown to seek worldly attention. I have come to hate being a hermit. To grow and progress I always have needed my hermit time. Where I am simply by myself studying, working out, reading, writing, listing to music, or simply meditating (and by meditating I don't mean lotus position all monk style, but simple just thinking.) I miss it so much and at the same time hate to not be a part of the up and up. Get stuck in these crossroads, going one way then another. Never really getting anywhere, because I can't decide on my destination. These things use to be so easy. My life was simple. Then I feel in love and discovered what it was to truly care for someone. Sacrificing was simply on a need to basis. If they need me to then I would do anything for them (them being anyone and everyone). Now it has become an all the time thing. I give everything all the time to the people around me and the ones that take it most of the time doesn’t want it. I think if I went to see some professional they would say I am going through a break down. I always hated professionals. Who are they really to say what is going on? Why must it be a break down? What if this is a step up. When this big blue globe turns a freiy red and goes "POP" what will it matter if I got an A on that History test? People are what matters, and while I must work towards being able to help many in the future I can't give up on those I see around me today. What point is it to always talk and prepare. Words are worthless and actions are priceless.

You underestimate the power of words, but your point is well spoken.
hmm what has been going on sinc iv been gone....
always take time off for your self. i think that is what i hav liked best about this cruise. 6 days crossig the atlatic and being the only 18yr old gives you alot of time to think.
just keeping going along you will make it through.
i do believe that words can be worth alot when they are meant and the listener knows that. i hope i don't mess up your hermit time. i don't want to be a bother, and i'm pretty sure what you would say to that comment and i know! hehehe. i'm good. Balance is good as well, i've decided since being here that i don't need to stress over my grades. it's still hard to follow thru with that, but it's a decision i keep making, gotta go
I hold to what I said. Words are worthless. The meanings behide the words are the things that have vaule. And while words can do and say things actions can't, actions are much over looked in this day and age. We talk over the phone or chat when we should just walk over and do it in person.
"Writing has an almost magical power: Words on paper, created by ordinary citizens, have overthrown governments and changed the course of history." ~ Joel L. Swerdlow
I understand what you guys are thinking, but I disagree. Words are far from worthless, they have power beyond our imagination. I do not think the worthlessness lies within the words, but rather the compiler of the words.
After all Judge, you admit that the meanings behind the words are what matter the most, and who has great control over that than the writer or the speaker? I agree that actions are overlooked in this day and age, but that does not bring the worth of words to naught.
I think we talk more over the phone than in person sometimes because of convenience. It's sad, but if we really had all the time in the world to visit with all the people that we really wanted to visit than what we'd really need is a life. Phones are supposed to make communication between people easier, it may not be better, but it allows us to talk to multiple people within a short amount of time and can allow us to talk to friends till way after curfew without having to worry about security. Every once in a while I do agree though, that we overstep our phone usage and really need to talk to people face to face.
I agree and disagree with you Renae, everyone needs to hear "I Love You" at least once in my life, but only when someone truly and deeply means it. I think the only times words become worthless is when their concocter casts them around as if they were like sand on the beach, but having said that the same could be said for actions too, such as kissing, which people have asked me a lot about recently. I believe Kissing loses it's special nature, it's sweet innocence when thrown about too lightly and easily, much like saying "I love you" becomes meaningless when we cannot see them reflected in actions. After all, "faith without works is dead" ~ James 2:26. Much like the dating and hanging out debate, I think words and actions go hand in hand.
I guess for the last part, and this goes to me as well, the only way we'll ever truly break our "norm" is if we, ourselves, really desire to and work at it.
A few thoughts:
Convience is killing this world.
The words "I love you" should be said more often. Not to just lovers but friends and family.
We need to acknowledge the actions more often.
Convenience is killing this world, when it's supposed to be saving it.
The words "I love you" to friends should still not be tossed about lightly.
And yes, we definitely need to acknowledge the actions more often.
Set your boundaries Derrida, Then live your life. Words are dangerous, and a conversation can turn into a battleground, or a place of peace, it's just how you use them.
All I want to know, Judge, is if there's anything that I can do for you. You can call me anytime, I'll always be here for you to unload on, k? Although I'm no longer out there physically, my thoughts are still with you and everyone else I left. *hugs*
