Turning your back against someone

Image
By Annie
Today's lunchtime consisted of people gossiping about someone I cared about- and it made me think.
Why are people so shallow? Why must people know about the latest gossip about someone? Dang it, why do people even gossip about each other?
I honestly thought the people gossiping and the person gossiped about were good friends, why on earth do you have to talk about them behind their back?
So, maybe me blogging about this isn't any better, but at the very least I still love these people and I still see them as good friends.

Honestly though, having listened to the gossip, it made me quite scared that maybe I was gossiped about and I'd never know. If someone would turn their back on another person despite seeming to be good friends, I could only imagine the amount of people turning their back on me. And knowing this hurts.

I didn't like listening to the gossip and I genuinely think the girl who was gossiped about didn't deserve to be spoken about like that. People can be very harsh with their words, it hurts to just hear it, whether or not it's directed to you or not.

I know I'm a culprit of this too- I have gossiped about people, but having sat into a gossip session today, I don't think it's something I will be doing anymore. (Or at least trying not to do)
It'll take a lot of perseverance, but I know God will continually teach me to be loving towards the people around me. He will be the motivation for this, and I will strive fervently toward the goal of not gossiping, for the sake of His glory. Can't do it without God.

A "short" update

Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.

ANNOYING LIFE. I was in quite a good mood this morning...i was happy to be able to see a certain someone for 2hrs. i was happy to be around friends. bible study was fun too. even the afternoon was awesomee. yumcha, fbing,msning. BUT... during piano lessons, the teacher angry at me for not practicing when i had already tried my best. my mum started saying things that i don't like to hear. and my dad lectured me. that really turned my mood off. during the WHOLE car trip i was staring out th window thinking and feeling sad. i really wanted to back-chat to them, but i knew i couldn't. so i was just ignoring it...i was thinking to myself: why do my parents have to set high standards for me? why do they think i can't do things when i can if i try. why do they keep pressuring me? they just don't know that the more pressure they put on me, the earlier i will give up something. even if it's something i like to do. i think being around friends is the happiest moment fo...
