“What we speak becomes the house we live in.” Hafiz
(via symphonyofthecosmos)
True friends don’t talk shit about each other behind their backs. No matter how angry you are, the most effective thing you can do is you communicate with the person you’re upset with and come to a deeper understanding of each other.
I don’t want to be friends with anyone that isn’t mature enough to realize that yet. I’m honestly trying my hardest, but if it doesn’t work out, I can’t allow negative people to continue being a part of my life. I have many mature, positive and respectful people in my life that I would like to spend my time with, grow with and enjoy. Our time on this planet is short and I’m going to spend mine loving as much as I can, recognizing my flaws and growing from them, learning, and interacting with positive people who support my goals and visions.
I know I’m not perfect and I can say hurtful things too. But sometimes I don’t realize they’re hurtful and I am working on that. Every day I strive to become a better person. Before you only look at my negative qualities, be self-reflexive and look inward. Are the flaws you see in me the same flaws you have? Are you recognizing where you need to grow? Are you making an effort to become a better person?
I don’t have time to guess why people are upset with me if they can’t communicate with me. I don’t have time for people who are disrespectful, exclusive, gossip about me or get jealous of me (for whatever reason, I don’t understand). I don’t have time to worry about anything besides doing well in school, and trying to make a difference and some sort of impact in this world.
And I especially don’t have the option of allowing anymore negativity in my life because I’m doing my best to not slip back into a depression again. I need to take care of myself, because I have finally gotten to a place where I don’t think about killing myself anymore. Perhaps if anyone knew that, they would be a little more empathetic. Maybe not. Depression is a difficult thing to understand if you’ve never felt the crushing weight of a sadness you can’t explain.
Regardless, if I could tell the world just one thing it would be: Be kind to one another. It is the most important thing.
