People don�t know what they have until it�s gone. Unappreciative bastards. But then some people do know what they have and are so desperate to get away from it they�ll do anything to escape. Why is it, that the only things that are precious to us, we realize what they mean when they�re gone. Why is it that all the bad things that life chucks at us, we see clearly and can�t blind ourselves from them?

Not everything we think is bad truly is. No one person can understand everything. There�s two sides to every story, to every problem. You can�t know both sides until you�ve experienced the bad and the good. Then that can be compensated. Knowing someone who has experienced the other side gives you a greater understanding by seeing what they�ve been through, but still not fully understanding what it�s like.

Just because you think you�re open minded, doesn�t mean you are. And by saying you are open-minded doesn�t make you close-minded. It means one of two things. Either you�re being truthful to yourself, or you�re not. There can�t be a medium. Just because someone doesn�t believe the same thing as you doesn�t make them close-minded. What makes a person close-minded is if they refuse to listen to what others have to say. No one can be completely open-minded in every situation.

One person tells me I�m close-minded, seven others contradict that by saying I�m open-minded. (??)

I keep to myself? Seven people say I do, three say I don�t. (??)

Everybody�s a fucking expert.

What gives people the right to judge others by what they wear and what they say, or by the way they act?
What gives them the right to think they know someone so completely that they can predict the outcome?
Why is it that everyone seems to think that a person can�t change or that something�s wrong when they do?

If your friend started to be quiet around you, what would you think? That there�s something wrong, or they just might not have anything to say? You probably wouldn�t think the latter. Because you know this person inside out, right? Wrong. Because you THINK you know this person inside out.

How can someone other than ourselves know what�s best for us.

-�I just want what�s best for you�
-�How the fuck do you know what�s best for me. You�re not me. You have no idea what I want or what�s best for me.�
-�I love you. I know what�s best for you. Trust me, I know.�
-�Just because you let your fucking mother run your life what makes you think I�m going to let you run mine!?�
-�That�s not what I want to do.�
-�Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. You�re not happy with your life so now you�re going to ruin mine.�

They say that people who put you down and tease you aren�t happy with themselves. Does that count with parents?

People think they know everything, and thus get a real shock when they learn something new. They don�t understand and so get scared.

Fuck what anyone else thinks. Fuck what anyone else says. Fuck everyone�s judgement. Fuck what people think they know.

Funny. Whether or not this seems to be in an angry tone, it�s all actually written with calm intentions.
