weak people are the first to fall, it's true, but a strong person standing alone is hardly a match for an army.
that's why you need friends.
once, i was talking to ellie, i can't remember what about, but it led to spiritual warfare, and i said to her, "that's why we call it 'war'. but, you know, it wouldn't be a war if you were alone..."
i remember reading, some wise man, saying that an armed man in a field is not a warrior until there is a war... so maybe a group of armed men would be warriors, or a single armed man in combat would be a warrior, but a single man, without combat, is no warrior... |

On my favorite site, VampireFreaks, I decided to write a post on there, because it seems that a lot of people have negative issues in their life that they need help with. I'm not sure if I'll make a difference to anyone, since it is the net. But I decided to try anyway. I'll put what I wrote in a quote. Warning - it's long. Don't TL/DR me. I'll slap you.
| Quote: | Lately, I've started to be a more positive person, and no, that doesn't just come with Christianity. I've started to have a better outlook on life. I really implore you all to be as positive as you can, it makes you feel so much better on the inside.
For a really long time, I've been a really negative person. Things were "never gonna work out" and I was "never gonna succeed" and I'd complain like crazy about everything, and never do a thing about it.
"She is such a bitch, I'm sick of her as a friend, I just want her out of my life!"
Did I do anything about it? Did I tell her that I hated her? No. I let her think that she had a great friend in me, until I absolutely crushed her when I told her that I was sick of her. Funny thing though, she was the same as me, and I didn't even know it. She complained about everything too, and never did anything about it. She got bad grades in school, and complained that she didn't get good ones, but yet, she didn't do any work to deserve those good grades. I realized that I was being a total hypocrite after Shane had told me just how much I really was negative. The point is, though, I accept that I was in the wrong with the situation, and I'm learning from the mistakes.
A new friend of mine, Lisa, recently moved out of home, and is living in a girl's shelter. She told me that she doesn't think things will get better and all that negative stuff. It is to be expected since she IS living alone, but I gave her some positive views on the situation. Now that she's living alone, she has a chance to start completely fresh with her life, and she can pave her own path and do whatever it is she wants to do, without things like parents telling her what she can and can't do. She'll be more prepared for the adult world.
My friend Wilkins told me that it was very good advice I gave her. Now, I'm not saying that any of you should move out of home just so you can get a head start and be independent. I'm just saying, if you were in that situation, would you continue to look at it through negative eyes? Or would you look at it through positive eyes, and feel so much better?
The more negative you are, the more it consumes you. If you continually be negative about everything, then it'll end up taking control, and you'll never see any positives. None of you would want to live a negative life. You're not living properly if everything is bad to you.
It doesn't take much to be more positive.
Walk away when someone insults you. Don't fight. And more importantly, don't bitch about them afterwards, because it makes the situation worse. Just forgive them, and forget what they said. After all, they are JUST WORDS.
If you fail an exam at school or something, don't say, "I can't do this, I suck at this, I'm dumb." You have to take it all in as information. "Oh, I didn't do so well. Looks like I'll have to try harder. I'll be able to do it."
If you're having family troubles... this is really difficult, trust me I know. But there's always a positive to things. If your family is fighting, just remember, "It isn't my fault." Unless it actually is your fault, in which case, you have to apologize and fix whatever it is that you did wrong. You have to admit you were in the wrong, otherwise things won't fix.
If your parents split up, keep reminding yourself, "They just don't love each other anymore, this isn't my fault. Just as long as they still love me, things will be fine."
If you have friend troubles, or troubles with other people around you. Don't just sit back and let it all get worse, do something about it before you're the one that gets burned. If a friend is pissing you off, don't bitch about them. Tell them that they're pissing you off, and that they should stop, or else they'll probably lose you if they continue. If people are bullying you, report it, and don't let it get to you. Think to yourself, "They're only doing this to try and break me. I won't let it break me, because I know they don't mean it."
In your relationship. If your boyfriend/girlfriend leaves you, for whatever reason, I know it hurts, especially if you liked them a lot. But don't let it consume your life. We're all young here, but we can be mature about it. Whatever you shared or experienced with that person is exactly that, an experience. I think we all have to face the fact that sometimes, that boy or girl we love and think we're going to be with forever, is probably not going to be with you forever. Just be happy that you got the chance to be with that person, and remember the good times. Don't think that you're never gonna get anyone else, because you'll be surprised just who is around the corner.
With everything I've mentioned, as hard as it is to face sometimes, you have to take it in as life experience. Because that's all life is, an experience. We only experience it once, so why waste the time you have worrying about every little thing that happens? You wouldn't be the person you are today if it wasn't for all the stuff that happened in the past. The past is what makes us, but it shouldn't be lingered on.
Look toward the future. Don't linger on the things that may have been.
Remind yourself that people have it worse than you do.
Take everything that happens in life as an experience. You all have potential to be amazing people. You just have to believe in yourself. No matter how hard things are, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
As difficult as it is to get into the habit of being positive, trust me, it's better for you in the end. What would you prefer? Easily slipping into a bad habit and having a life of suffering? Or suffering a little bit to get into a good habit, and have a life of no suffering?
I know what I prefer, and I'm sure you don't want a life of suffering either. We were made to be joyful on this Earth. Not to be depressed and negative. As a Christian, I know that Lord Jesus doesn't want me to suffer, he wants me to have joy (as I learned in bible study at youth group last night). I know a lot of you aren't religious, but that doesn't mean that you can't be happy.
I don't mean to preach here or anything... so I'll stop this post now because a lot of you will completely disregard this entire post because you think it's religious. It isn't. I'm teaching you life lessons here. And I didn't even learn them through religion. I learned them through personal experiences. Take it from me first hand, I really do implore you all do be the best people that you can be.
Make me proud. |
I don't know if that'll make a difference to any of you either, but I really wanted to let you read it. I'm off to the Youth thread now to talk about my night. Ciao.

Wow. That was good.
Just remember though, it's easy to change. What's hard is not changing back.

And that'll be a mistake that those people will have to learn from in due time.

I didn't go to school today, because I slept in. 
Anyway, I've been doing some thinking (thanks to Ben's mum), and I want to go to a Performing Arts school. I always wanted to be a performer, always. And Bundamba doesn't exactly cater my needs for that. I do Music, Drama, Art... and they're pretty much the only ones I want to do... besides English. The others? They're useless to me.
So what I'm hoping to do, is look around on the net and find a school where I can get a scholarship. My last year of school is the important one. I want to finish it off doing something I love. If I'm unable to find a school, I'm thinking of just leaving Bundamba and doing a Performing Arts course at TAFE.
I didn't realize how poor the education was at Bundamba until I looked back on what I have actually learned... It's difficult to learn a lot and really improve in practical stuff if you don't get any one-on-one time with a teacher. I guess you get what you pay for.
It feels weird... me actually putting my foot down and wanting to do something for once... If dad really cares about my future, he'll let me do what I am good at, and he should do whatever it takes to support me in that. If there's no opportunities left for me up here... I might just pack it all up and go live with mum in NSW when she moves. NSW has quite a few schools there.
I'm feeling a change in myself, just.. wanting to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. I know that I'm meant to do this. I've got a talent... I should utilize it. I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
Nothing is more important than my future right now.
The other thing I want to learn about right now, is Mental Health. And that's not Psychology or Psychiatry. It's similar, but not the same. My mum studied Mental Health for a number of years at University. She'll be a good place to start.

I don't know what I'm going to do. About the previous blog entry. I hear yes and no all over the place. Show me which way I'm meant to go, God...
My music teacher wants me to perform at the music night that's coming up this June.. I'm going to do it. I'm going to be singing an Evanescence song. Go me.
And now I'm going to go to bed. Night.

amen...
the sad thing about that big post up there is that many will disregard it, either through TL/DR or lumping it into the cliche category...
but people shouldn't disregard something based on how many times they've heard it, the things we hear should be judged by their merits.
i'm not gonna touch the performing arts thing, on account of bias. but i will pray for it. |

Naw, ehehe. Silly Ryan. You're so getting me back for raiding your thread.
Anyway, I'm rather bored right now. I should be doing drafts for assignments, but I really can't be fucked. School is driving me insane right now. The more I venture into senior year, the more I despise it.
I might to minimal amounts on my current drafts. Just to keep the devils happy.

Woke up this morning, and was like, "Ugh fuck this" and went back to sleep. Dad woke me up, "You've got school right?" and I said, "Ugh screw school".
He asked me just before, "So why no school?" and I just went *shrug* and he's like, "What? Don't like school now? Because of Shane?" and I said, "No, just sick of it." He goes, "Well if you're gonna stay home everyday you've gotta find work because I'm not going to pay for you to sit home and eat everyday."
*shrugs*
CBF @ school these days.
I'd rather finish my last years at school at like, anywhere but Bundamba. TAFE sounds good. I could walk there.
Also, I have this problem... I'm starting to develop an addiction... I'm going to try and stop... but yea...

Yeah, TAFE and everything else has looked damn good. When Lukas left school i was seriously thinking about joining him wherever the heck he was going. The main reason why I'm staying is because I'll miss you niggers so much. Stupid reasoning i know, but lets see how it goes.

I spoke to dad... about how I'm feeling with school and everything. I was almost in tears talking about it.
He said that he'll THINK about me going to TAFE.
Main reason I had to have a talk to him was because he was yelling at me this morning because I wanted another day off. *shrugs*
I'm not going to continue something that's making me incredibly unhappy. I know I seem fine to a lot of you, but that's only because I don't want to bother anyone. But seriously, I sit in class and I just wish that I could do this all in a better environment, with no distractions, nothing or no one to bring me down, where the teacher might have the time to actually help me.
*sigh* Oh well. I guess I'll have to tough it out for a little while longer. Maybe things will get better. I don't know. I still don't want to do my fucking assignments, or the exams... but I guess I could always fail them if I'm going to start again in TAFE. Ha.

| School makes you unhappy but its a far more happier option then leaving it gives you far more options and leaves lots of backup if you fail at your selected choice of what you want to do. |

Not to sound harsh or anything... but we have all been there - so suck it up!
Your not the only one in the class that needs help - she has to be equal to everyone! |

That's why I call senior school (to myself) The 2 Year Grind session. Grind means Harsh. Two years of harshness... Grind also sounds cool (to me)
But yeah, what Walters said... I thought the same as you when I was in year 11... Then a thought came into my head that said "well dude your not the only senior ever, nor the last... so don't complain".
Keep in there Eliza

Walters, I'm not just talking about the one teacher.
I wouldn't get shitty about just one teacher.
And I know that other people feel this way too, and I never said that I was the only one. But I'm unhappy and I want to do something about it. Not exactly wrong now, is it?
