If the shortest distance between two points is a line, why does waiting in a line take so long?

Did you ever notice that people give up on love as they get older?

When you're a little girl, all you want to do is fall in love. Then when you're a teenager, every guy you meet you think is "the one". Then when you're an adult and you have been hurt from the breakups as a teen, you're not interested in love anymore. You just don't want to be alone, so you settle for someone you might even know isn't your soul mate. I know so many adults that aren't truly where they want to be. I just try to think about what they might have went through to make them settle for second best, and I hope that doesn't happen to me.

There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them.

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open... with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for paths. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. Learn that you really can endure... That you really are strong and you really do have worth.

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

So sad to know that people rather choose not to communicate. I mean, we're all so excited to hear the first words of a baby. We're looking forward that they will soon start to communicate their feelings or thoughts to make it easier for us to respond to them. I wonder why when we grow up, it becomes harder for us to communicate yet easier to talk behind another's back. Such a wrong way to make use of communication.

What makes it easier to talk behind another's back? This I can't answer but all I know is this is an activity convenient fo dastards. Sadly, it's those we consider friends are the first ones to do this dirty deed to us. Instead of telling us where we're going wrong, they'd broadcast it to others for others to have the greatest privilege to look down on us. You rely on friends to back you up yet they end up speaking all kinds of evil about/against you. They're the first ones to judge you as if your mistake is unforgiveable. How grateful I am that they're not god. I am happy with the GOD I know for HE does not condemn no matter how grave the sin we commit. What right do we have to condemn others and really make them feel we do not want to have anything to do with them? I call these kinds of people hypocrite.

“It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.”

At least, I am now more aware who to trust. I know enough that when someone talks so much about others especially their ugly side, this is not the kind of friend anyone would want to have.

“Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.”
