Done
Temporarily. Endured my last lecture, last night.
Before i start my ranting... Prayer Request: a fully time or a couple of part time jobs for may & june. I'm even willing to give (dare i say it..)..foot massages.
To those who actually read this, you might have noticed that my entries have not been very "deep"...content has been rather superficial..not much personality etc. It's not b/c i'm lazy, although yes, i am.
Not everything needs to be said, more importantly, I don't think everything needs to be posted for the public to see. And i certainly don't believe in "shocking" people or using this as a medium to "reveal" anything. If people were really interested in the lives of others, they would ask. If we really wanted to share something, we would do it in a personal way, no matter how hard it is. We would spend time, we would sacrifice time. Although leaving those little 'comments'..are a nice gesture of expressing whatever interest, it is still in itself a comment.
Relationships are not built or based on comments. They are more. Msn, blogs, even phone calls- although they are very convenient.. relationships should not be built on convenience either. What is love without sacrifice?
The reason i'm being "preachy" about this is b/c i've been convicted in my own life...i suck at keeping in touch..at being involved in the lives of others.
My initial intention in starting a blog was to keep in touch w/ high school friends whom i don't see often..however, i find that after people read this..and that's it...when i tell them again that i'm taking whatever class, or that i'm really enjoying whatever..or whatever it is i've been experiencing..their reaction is simply.. "oh right...i read about it"... period. And my reaction to them are similar.
Whatever happend to old school getting together, having a nice conversation over some tea?
....sooooooooooooo....i'm scared to promise that i'll put more effort into all my relationships. But that's one reason why i'm gonna take a "break" from blogging...or simply from publishing.

whoa- that was quite personal. good job babe. in all honesty though, i agree with the fact that the purpose of blogs shouldnt be to shock ppl, but if they ARE shocked, can you control that? No. i can speak for myself in saying that when i blog, i write whats on my heart, and its almost therapeutic. it also does help keep ppl who you care about (and ppl who care about you) informed so that until you meet again and chill, they know that you are alright or that you are not. Relationships surely arent based on comments, but they really help them grow. its contact, and any contact is better than none
love you babe muah!
