Ok so I'm gonna apologize for my last post. I felt bad for bashing my friend. I guess it wasn't exactly a huge deal, she isn't gonna see it, and i was just venting..but it just kinda felt wrong.
One of my best friends had to go to the ER tonight...and I have no idea why..I just hope he's ok and that it's nothing serious =/
So I've realized something tonight. Christmas is coming soon and everyone is all caught up in gifts and
"Oo what do I want to get?" But when all the gifts are unwrapped and the months go by, the presents just aren't the same. They've gotten old, and soon to be outdated. And then after that there will be something better that comes along that you just have to have. All these things just are
never enough. No matter how many gifts I get it's not really going to make me any happier. Sure, I
love to get gifts. Of course when I first get a gift it's so
new and so
cool, but then it turns into just another thing that will sit around my house and become outdated. So how can we really be happy? By
giving. Christmas is about
giving. And not just on Christmas, but always. I mean seriously, if
gaining gifts doesn't make us happy than what else can make us happy but
to give? And not just helping someone out one day because you had a little extra time and money to give or just giving to a charity for the needy and saying, "oh ok I've done my good deed for the month."...but actually serving whole heartedly and showing others that you really care about them. New clothes and music and all that stuff
will make us happy....but
only for a little while.
