Something I’ve done recently to keep me from thinking too much is to keep myself busy. Yesterday I left my room at 9:30 in the morning and didn’t return until 11:45 at night. Keeping myself occupied keeps me from getting in trouble and keeps me from thinking too much. I’m someone to tends to dwell on what’s happened in my life rather than just moving on. I tend to keep thinking why, rather than thinking of how to move forward. I think to myself, why and how can people do this to each other and what would make someone do such a thing. Recently someone who was a close friend stopped talking to me, completely. Completely stopped returning phone calls or emails, blocked me on aim and didn’t respond to facebook and that’s when I began to think to myself, why. Why stop talking to me, I didn’t even do anything.
It’s funny that we humans love to be friends with people but when times get tough or something may happen in our lives, we are quick to ex-communicate people. At a time when more communication is needed to determine why a friend is angry with another, we just tend to stop talking all together. Until and unless we are able to talk to one another at times of need, what’s the real point of being friends.
On a side note, I had written down the topic of “what is a friend?” so that will be my next entry but it’s kind of weird that I had written that down (about 3 months ago) and this situation occurred with me. So that’s coming up next (in a few days).
That’s it for now, more soon

We must look inside of ourselves for character defects. Everything we think is a defect in someone else is actually a defect in ourselves.
