New Thoughts in My Head

Heroes is on right now, but I'm not watching. Odd. I think I'd rather post here about my thoughts over the past couple of days.
First of all, I sincerely hope that everyone is doing better now that most college apps are completed (sorry to those who still have stuff to finish). Hopefully you're having a great time basking in the glory of freedom, as well as a great time being an asshole to whoever isn't done yet.
BTW, sequential shifting is evil. Hehe. It seriously tempts the driver to reach new heights. And by heights, I mean speeds. And by speeds I mean hitting 50 mph in a parking lot in 3 seconds. But damn what a rush! Josh Jerry Ritesh.. we needa race one day. HAHA with our awesome (shitty) driving. *Shoutout to brave Sarah Kang*
OK so here's the juice of the post. Don't expect anything gut-bustingly funny, nor any tear-jerkers. Just my thoughts at the moment haha. So.
What's up with the ability of conflicts to spawn out of fucking nowhere?
I mean seriously--it's never on purpose. You don't want to start anything with anyone. Especially those you might once have considered your dearest friends. It then develops to the point that people begin to announce that "he/she and I are not on good terms."
I'm not trying to preach here, so don't get me wrong. But if you're willing to say something like that, make sure you've got a reason to say it. You should always be able to explain how it all happened. If not, what's going on? I discovered that it's not a matter of patching things up. It's a matter of making the first move to do so. Are you going to die if you do it? Would it make matters worse? Why are the two people so afraid to take the first step towards fixing a friendship they both know is broken? Even worse is that they don't know why or how it happened. Maybe because someone was moody one day. Or someone had a bad day and didn't feel like acting as jubilant as they usually act. Either way, we're in high school. Some of us are seniors. The days are counting down 'till graduation and moving day to our respective colleges. You must have once shared great memories with this person. As much as you'd hate to admit it, you miss them. Why not take a shot into oblivion and hope that things work out? If problems persist, then fine. But is it really worth it to sit and wonder what could have happened with this person by the time you find yourself sitting with a stranger in your new dorm? Today, take a step and reach out to what really matters. I see it happening now. I feel it. This is the last Christmas you might have with some of these people, and most likely the last you'll have with the specific group of friends you've come or once came to love. Make the best of the rest of your high school life and stop making mountains out of molehills.

The greatest hypocrite to have ever lived

You're not a hypocrite. You're human. Humans want for each other what they themselves do not have. To not make the same mistakes. This is not hypocricy (sp); this is compassion.

You're right, and I wish I could do something about it. But wishing does nothing. I guess that makes me a hypocrite, too.
