Lesson eight .... vanity

Vanity, considered being one of the seven deadly sins. Is not only a feeling for some, it’s the way of life for most. “Inflated pride in oneself or one’s appearance”, said in the Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary is supposedly the “real” meaning of the word vanity. But to me there is a whole other side to it.
To me one side of the word, yes, is negative. But there is another softer side, a nicer side. That is the side I’m going to be concentration on today, the positive side. Because there is one, like it or not!
In one sense you hear the word vanity and you automatically think a negative connotation right away, and yes when I first heard the word I thought that to. But then I thought maybe it’s a good thing, because if you think about it its just confidence. “My hair looks good today!”, “I smell oh so pretty!”, or even just a little thing like “Wow, I like my outfit today!”. All that is, is confidence in one’s self, and feeling good about it. And in my opinion every person has a right to that. It’s only a problem to me when its confidence builds up and finally explodes into cockiness.
This is where the word vanity becomes obnoxious and to self absorbed. When it comes to a point in time where you are putting other people down because you want to make yourself feel a lot better, that’s crossing the line. “I look good today, but she looks like a big mess!”, or maybe “That shirt she is wearing was in last year, and now she is a “skank” for wearing it this year.” These are all examples of when people get over confident and start to bully other kids. To me this is a big problem, because when I was younger I was pushed around by these sorts of kids. And now that I am older I have to watch myself and know when I’m going to far, because to me it’s just joking around but to other kids I know where they are coming from when their feelings get hurt.
So now you know my take on the word vanity, and maybe next time someone is bulling you or the other way around you will take in consideration this essay.

*And know that everyone is given confidence, but you should know when it crosses the line and goes into just plain flat out ignorance in your part.

Lesson Seven .... Rage

Lesson Seven.
- Rage (concidered one of the deadly sins). This to me resembles a lot of things in my life. Its pretty much what my life if consiced (sp?) of. School, friends, family, everything in general. To me everything has been going ok, you know .... i have cool/amazing friends, school and well grades .... yah rather not talk about :/, and family;; they have been starting to take notice of me and my accompishments. As of my step-mother, she is (to me) a lot nicer, conciderate, and well all around being better to me. :] its a good thing trust me !! But back to the lesson. Well i just went to the movies with some friends, ok ... and well everthing is going just fine. Then out of no where i get a call DUN DUN DUN !!! i dont usually get phone calls this late in the evening so i was worring just a bit. So being the curious person i am i pick up the call. OK just picked up the phone ppl ! thats all ! Its one of my friends, what a plesent suprise (so i assumed). She was asking me what i was doing and all the other things that happened in the hell of a school i have to attend :[. Then the phone is disconected oh no ! did i hang up on her ? was it her ? i had no clue. oops, i called back to find that she and guess what her b.f was upset with me to. GOSH i hate having ppl upset with me EXPECIALLY my friends, not good. So i have to do some major bandaging tomorrow before school. Uhhh oh and might i not forget about BASKETBALL, uhhhh. Thats just a big ball of drama waiting to explod like a damn atomic bomb that BC insists to rant about ( i swear i could build one with all the info he has given me) oh well ..... its just the fact that i have to realise that ppl are just filled with rage, and sometimes its to the point where they dont even know. so the lesson is .....
*Know your limits, know your boundries, and always know what your "rage" is capable of.

ponder that one :]

Lesson Six ..... Confrontation ?

Lesson 6
-So maybe this one is going to be short. Just because i haven't gotten all the time in the world here b.c i have to go to the hell school tomorrow *magnolia :[*. So to start the lesson the thing is that i hate haveing confrontations for no reason at all !! Expecially on that has a couple intoxicated people involved. Right now actually i am listing to them fighting, its very frustration//stressfull. Uhhhhh. THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL FOR THIS. It all started b.c somone was talking to my m**** and s**** and then the other person *was not even in the conversation* came in a bothered everyone !! and then it just BLEW up BIG TIME !! And like i said a while ago its IRREVANT (sp?). I have to go to school in the a.m and also give a presentation and plus i have to deal with people yelling and screaming at my m****. Its rediclious. and then *my fault* i got into it when i KNOW i shouldnt have. So it possible is my fault kinda .... oops !! OMG guess what, she just came in FUN !!! So really this is kinda stupid to tell you all this, b.c well i am just ranting lol. So maybe the lesson is .... "Dont get involved in things that are not only old enough for, but only irrevalent" LATERS :]
