Sometimes... I really hate people.

Hello everyone, it's time for some life lessons. Today I am inspired to write on this blog. maybe it's my 8am professor boring me with her hippie talk, or maybe it's what went down yesterday with a friend of mine. I won't tell her story with great detail, I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate it, but it did get me thinking. And I want to share my thoughts.

This friend of mine, let's call her Helen, has been having some trouble lately, and I hate to see my friends in distress. I always want to do whatever I can to help out my friends in their time of need. You know what? That's lesson number one: help out your friends in their time of need. Be a good friend; it'll go a long way. But she's one of the many people out there that have low self-esteem. Believe it or not, sometimes I have some confidence issues, I just hide it well, but that's not the point.

Why does she have low self-esteem? Because people have constantly put her down in her life, tell her she's not pretty, no one will put up with you, blah blah blah other bull sh** that makes me angry. What the hell is wrong with people? I don't understand why people take perverse pleasure in just belittling someone for the hell of it. Don't do it people. It makes me sick that people just beat down a person to the point where they start to believe themselves. It just makes me sick.

I know these issues aren't as simple as someone saying, "There there, don't listen to them, you're beautiful," but that doesn't hurt. If you know of a person that is just constantly abused like that, I want you to do the opposite. Raise their self-esteem, be a good friend. And don't do nothing, just because you're not the source of the problem, doesn't mean you're not part of it. If no one comes to the support of a person, well of course they're going to start to believe it, no one says the opposite, so they all must think it. That's the mindset, that's the mindset I had at least.

So here's my message to you guys: Be there for a friend in need. Whether it's something big like a break up or a death in the family, or the little things like just feeling a little blue or lonely. If you let them know your there, they can heal much faster. The mind and body heals faster in a healthy, good environment than a bad environment. So give them a good environment as best you can. You don't have to completely save them from the problem, that's probably impossible, but what you can do, is let them know you are there for them every step of the way. So please, I beg of you my audience, be there for them, don't let them sit alone, let them know they aren't alone.
