This World Does Not Revolve Around You!

a lead off from a couple articles

Ok, I've come to the conclusion that at some point in one's life, they will think that the world revovles around them and nobody else. Let me just say, it doesn't revolve just you. It revolves around you and everbody else in your life. Like Sarah said, most of us take our friends and boyfriends/girlfriends for granted. I believe you should thank God each and everyday that you have the friends that you have, and possibly boyfriend/girlfriend. If you take your friendships lightly, someone could end up getting hurt. Emotionally. I know in the past two months or so this has been going on with a couple of people. I think most of it has ended. I hope that it never comes back up into play. I respect Sarah, and Stacey a lot. Even though we had our differences, I still respected them and I still do to this very moment. I respect them as I respect all of my friends. I try not to take my friendships for granted. I thank God everyday for my friends. I'm thankful that they are there for me. They will be the ones to help me when I'm in doubt, or to comfort me when needed.

Let me tell you something. If you are taking each of or any of your friendships for granted, you're missing out on so much that those people have to offer for you. You are making a really big mistake if you are doing this. Be thankful, be glad, rejoice! If you've read Alex's article, then good. Maybe you'll understand they way of consequences better. If you haven't read it, then i would advise you to do so after reading this. Actually maybe you should mosy your butt on over to acguild.joeuser.com. Read some of the latest articles over there. Most of them will tie into this one. Then maybe you won't take friendships for granted. Hopefully after reading this you won't.

I made the biggest mistake of not accepting Sarah and Stacey at first. Luckly for me, those wounds have been able to heal, and have been bandaged. What if it hadn't turned out that way though. What if things weren't ok? See, those are the chances you take when you take things for granted. But I can't make you do anything. It's your choice. I'm glad though, that Sarah, Stacey, and myself have been able to become friends. It's really better this way, and it's for the good.

Have you thanked God for you friends today?

That's so true. In fact, I've noticed that those (including myself in the past) who are self-absorbed in their own life are not as happy as those who aren't. It's much harder to be happy when one thinks his friends aren't doing enough for him when he's not doing anything for them.

I agree. I like being happy. I also like to see it when others around me are happy.

...that sounds like a church slogan or something from a religious restaurant....That has to be on a religious pamphlet somewhere...

Anyway...good article, you do have a very good point...I'm glad to see that my friends are finally understanding the world as I do....this is awesome, maybe my advice and philosophies are finally sinking in to you guys:D

I do thank God(Not aloud...I don't do that much) for all of my friends....however strange, spastic, loud, dysfunctional, or normal they may be:D
