When life gives you lemons...

This week i found myself questioning life's fruits. Because you see, when life gives you lemons, people often tend to take them without hesitation. At the best of times we can have many a lemon. But lemons, same with good things, never stay ripe for long. You may be having a good day or even a great week.But alas, you cannot hold onto the same lemons for too long, before they start to go bad, and become useless.



Erin sat at home, and it seemed her lemons were going bad. Her freedom has been piled from her grip and therefore, life is not handing out as many lemons. Although she wasn't complaining, i could see that it was irritating her. She tried to hide them, but Erin's emotions were so easy to read that she might as well show me her diary. Her loud boisterous attitude was a new.
Erin was so used to being provided for, having exceeding lemons. Now that she had quite little, she was finding it hard to keep up, and her chosen solution as to become loud and big-headed. When you re so used to being spoilt and having all the lemons in the world provided to you on a silver platter, ask yourself. "Why do i need all these lemons?"
Why cant we take our provided lemons and simply NOT try to have any more than me need? In the end we think we deserve more than the essentials. But the truth is that the essentials are all ANYONE needs, that's why they are called essentials. Because when you are so used to having bonus lemons and they are taken, you need to suddenly fight your own battles to get what you want, not just bypass with a flick of a lemon.



Hannah was having the opposite effect. She was finding it easier and easier each say to obtain lemons. The new good things in her life were piling up so high she could open a lemon shop. She had all the friends that most up us had to work to get, and she didn't even try. Some would say it was her personality, but honestly Hannah is just as bitter as her many, many lemons. I would just say it was luck, her big headedness is mistaken as over-confidence and her newly obtained Friends feed on that. When the lemons stop rolling in for Hannah though, her friends will see that she is simply a normal girl with the bitterness left over from her lemon overdose. In the present tense though, Hannah is not running out of the good things, and she has chose to inflict upon me with her big-headedness. To stay on top she needs to gain more fame. I ask "Why does staying onto matter so much when you hurt someone, only to get there lemons?"
Before Hannah had her massive overdose she had been very close to me, and told me about her life. Honestly, Hannah's life had less average lemons than most people, including me. Maybe she saw how many our then peaceful group had and wanted to catch up? Then when she was all up to date and the lemons continues to roll in, she was naive and continued accepting them, not to think about other people



So when life gives you lemons, unlike the advice from Chuck on Forgetting Sarah Marshal, who says to say fuck the lemons and bail. No, instead take the lemons you naturally have and make lemonade! if you come from a family where you have many lemons as your essentials, then you will have more to enjoy. if you come from somewhere where you have little lemons, then just make sure you savor and enjoy the lemonade you have in the end. Lemonade as life is.. is not just made up of the good things, there are other ingredients in too that make that miracle end concoction/

Why do girls choose to be so nasty.

My new slate has left me completely open. My venerability has made me afraid and the girls see this. i have been letting myself adapt to whatever comes my way. I look around and to me, there are two types of people. There are the girls that are settled into their own skin, these are the ones that everyone loves and usually have good things around them. This relates to my best friend Justice. She's the little funny one that everyone loves and anyone would stick up for in any circumstance. Then there are the other type, the kids come from families where they usually aren't treated well, and usually have to fight for anything. Then when they finally get it good they are so used to fighting to be on top that they start to hurt people sub-conciously. I call these lovely ladies.. the "Bitches".

When it comes to the point where you find yourself asking "Why did the bitches choose me?" look in the mirror. what you can physically see in the mirror is all you have to show. You can be upset on the inside and strong on the outside, they will leave. My dad always told me that being picked on was always like fishing, You wont stay in the same place if there are no fish biting, just like a bitch wont pick on the same person if they don't react.

So i have decided, i will not react, i wont even be around the bitches anymore. I will simply start to hang with other people. So i did, and i have realised, Guys are so much easier to get along with. My friends boyfriend is shy, but is starting to hang out with me, he's a nice guy and a good mate. I have also started talking to a guy in my class and we have become more friendly. And so far, none of them has bitched about me.
So back to our question.
Why are girls nasty? they usually are jealous of just how good you have it, and don't want you to realise that. it might sound corny, but thats what i see.

Love?

i cleared my slope today. time for a new start.

Introduction.

i quit life now.
boys are upsetting me quite.
my friends are bitching about me quite.
and to be honest, i have outgrown everyone
is this my turning point?

Boys, i simply cannot explain how i have been hurt.
it has driven me to the edge of the abyss, and only with help from a few good mates am i still here.
Jack cut me so deep i was surprised i could move. In literal sayings i couldn't function. i was stupid, ugly and socially disabled for the month after he hurt me.
Dean simply was to plain, he was interested in me. then he forgot about me and it hurt me to know he didn't care. he didn't respond to me, so i silently gave up on him before i could get in another situation like with Jack.

I have started a new life, after all the hurt. i have decided to simply RENEW!
My girls stayed. Erin, Ricky, Jenny, Blair, Hillary, Hayley, Allison, Andy, Deni, Gemma.
My boys were always there to.
