Ok, so just about everyone around me is in the Christmas Spirit. I can't seem to get there 100%. I'm somewhat there, maybe about 45-50%...that's pretty bad when it's only 4 more days till Christmas. It's hard though to get into the spirit and keep it up when those closest to you don't want to participate or can't get into the spirit themselves. What can I do?
And then, there are those that seem to let you down. Those that have made promise after promise and then fall through each time. How long does one let this go on before they sever the ties? Why is it that I am such a forgiving person and tend to look past these slight indiscretions and continue to allow others to "beat up" on me? I feel as if my heart and emotions have been taken advantage of over this past year. By many people. People that I thought I could trust, people I thought cared about me, as I do about them. What is wrong with the world today that people are this way? Why has society deemed it "proper" to indulge people to turn into these cynical and lying individuals who care about noone but themselves? Why does everyone have to expect something in return? Whatever happened to the days of not so long ago when a persons true sincerity and caring were real? Why do people feel the need to "hide" this from others? Why put on the facade of being cold hearted or not caring...then deep down you truly do care? What's the point?
I look at it this way...
If you don't like me b/c of what I wear...don't look at my clothes, look at my personality!
If you don't like me b/c I don't fit a certain "standard"...don't look at my face or body, look at my inner beauty!!
If you don't like me b/c of what I say...don't listen to me, turn and walk away!
To quote a famous sailor..."I Yam What I Yam!". So, take it or leave it. I have so much inner beauty and personality that alot of people don't get to see b/c they go based on first appearances...BEFORE they hear what I say.
And to those of you who think looks are all that matters...THINK DEEPER! I'm not saying looks don't matter, b/c they do matter to a degree. I do want someone that's nice looking to wake up to in the mornings...who wouldn't. But you also have to take into account their personalities, their inner beauty! That's what really shines!
Ok, I'm getting off my soap box now. I've rambled enough and I'm sure you're tired of reading this by now.
So, I am wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
