I would like to say, that I am not dead, yes. :3
It's just my scanner is broken, and I have just not had the means to draw anything as of late.
ONTO my rant, let it also be known that I do not have intense problems, just the observations of people and occaisionally the incidents that happen to me.
I have those days were I just hate everyone, well...not everyone, but a lot of people make me angsty, to the point of I am angered every day, chewing my nails to the point of no return.
1. Lying/Honesty
Why do we need to lie? Keeping secrets safe to your grave, throwing the lie-filled dirt onto the casket that shall never be opened, hiding the dirty little secret under a pile of lies.
In all honesty, lying is alright in my book if to keep a secret between friends safe, so that prying ears cannot spread it with their mouths. Although lying to change or alter yourself so drastically is not alright, lying to someone you call your FRIEND is not alright, who are you to lie to my face, and then pretend it's alright? You are nothing, nothing but an insecure girl who doesn't know how to reach for help, do not size yourself up, because the true you is a better you than you make yourself out to be.I believe it's better to not have an extremely active social life, than to lie and size yourself up to the extreme, bragging about yourself until everyone is sick, and looks down upon your inflated, obtained ego.
2. Friendship/Loyalty
What is Loyalty to you? Do you expect your friend to be by your side for as long as you two can be friends?Or do you have double standards? Expecting them to stay at your side, yet not be there for them in the long run? Can you really stomach just looking in the mirror, watching your friend spiral into an abyss of depression from the death of her father, and you just moving onto a new best friend and pretend that she doesn't exist, can you really stomach that new fact about yourself? That you abandoned her? That makes me sick. It's not the fact you made a new best friend, because sometimes that just happens, but the fact that you don't want to be there for someone who was always there for you, and loved you through the hardest of times. She fucking loves you, and you abandoned her for a newer model of what your "best friend" should be, or rather a loyal fucking bitch to lick up and enjoy your shit of a friendship.
3. Staying true to your conviction
Just really, not much can be explained about this, I'm sure that many people understand that it's okay to not have learned of things, and to not having an active social life, because sometimes that's what makes you, you. You don't need to size yourself up to be something that you really don't need to be. It's okay to be unique, and imperfect, just be natural, let go of those stressors of "am I perfect? What will they think of me?" and just be you, it'll be much more appealing than what you're trying to be.
4. Popularity
Popularity, the intoxication of being adored by many, and also a dangerous curse. A pressure to become something new, "the life of the party", getting drunk, doing drugs and often selling your soul for fame, giving your body to the new found intoxication of affection and attention. You see people drowning in it, yet there is nothing you can do, watching them with tears held back as they become something that sickens you, as they had promised that they would get on the right track and stay there so they could achieve great things, but now you watching them, someone you previously held close to your heart, someone you close to damn near wanted as yours, become a whore to the grabbing, greedy hands of attention, of "need to be popular" and disgusting rituals that are shameful to even think of. God, where the hell did we go wrong? Where I found you disgusting now, and before I found you handsome? attractive to the eye, alluring and sweet to the ear, now....you're nothing to be proud of. I feel remorse for never being able to save you.
5. Flirting with multiple people
So many people do it, but my advice would be to be careful, although I know it can lead to being lead on, heart break, and a bunch of complicated shit, so I just...don't do it. I cannot fathom doing that anymore, although I do joke around, flirting is something I take seriously, because it can fuck with feelings. This girl takes boy's first kisses, and leads them on like a succubus until the point of frustration and then tells them "Oh, we were just flirting! I shouldn't lead into anything else" Who are you to take boy's innocence? May it be a kiss, it was his first, and you, with your mentality of what a relationship should be ruined it for him, because he expected more, and basically got a "How about no." in return for his innocence.
People are strange creatures.
