Bitterness on Repeat

        Let's be honest everyone is bitter about something, some aspect of their life no matter how small has left a bad taste in their mouth. Once you realize your bitter there is no holding back, the flood gates open anything and everything is a potential trigger that is going to set off your anger and frustration. The bitterness comes from a place that you were trying to forget: where all of the bad memories, hurt feelings, jealousy and resentment get buried in hopes that if you don't talk about them or try to ignore them they will go away. The problem is the feelings don't stay buried in fact they simmer just under the surface and with every failed relationship, bad day at work, drama with friends the bitterness starts to bubble up until eventually it boils over. When this happens no one is safe, you have to take your anger, resentment and build up frustrations out on other people so that your head doesn't go sailing off from all the pressure that has built up from constantly burying how you really feel. The bitterness inside has eaten away at you and as horrible as it sounds it feels good to let it out and make people understand what you have quietly been going through. Even after all this there is always going to be another event or person in your life that fills that bitterness right back up, no matter how hard you try to fight it the feelings come back. An once the bad reaches maximum capacity the cycle begins again, but we tell yourselves that next time it will be different, we have learned from our mistakes. But let me tell you from personal experience, we don't learn from our mistakes we just put them on repeat and expect a different result.

   

Friends Influence Your Personality

       The friends that you keep says something about your character, each of your friends makes up a part of who you are. You don’t realize it until you think about it; the part of you that guards your heart from every guy that comes along because you’ve seen your best friend’s heart shattered time after time because she freely gives it away. Knowing that sometimes the best thing to do is just stay quiet and listen to other people’s problems so you don’t have to share your own. Making sure you aren’t as quick to judge people because there is at least a little bit of good in everyone. Taking time for yourself so that you don’t get overwhelmed by life and everyone else’s issues. Being confident that no matter what you have four brothers there to protect and support you no matter the circumstances.

      Each of the people that you hold dear in your life have somehow integrated a part of their personality into yours. Whether it’s the good, bad or ugly that piece of them still resides in you and you carry it with you no matter where you go. When you hear a song, see a movie, do a dance and one of your friends automatically pops into your mind, that’s the piece of their personality that you carry with you coming out. So think about the people that you surround yourself with, do you smile when you think about all the different personalities that have influenced you? I know that I do.

Pictures like Harry Potter

     Remember when you were a kid and maybe even now how you wished that your pictures could move like the ones in Harry Potter. Well if you really think about it the people in the pictures do move, not literally, but if you look back at pictures over the years of your life, you can watch people walk in and out of your life. Old friends faces get replaced by new acquaintances, boyfriends and girlfriends rotate in and out like a revolving door, some family members grow up while others grow old. An all of these happenings are captured by the flash of the camera forever freezing that moment in time, so you can always look back on it and pull up that particular memory up in your mind. Of course some of the memories that are captured are better off forgotten: like the horrible years your mom cut your hair, back when glitter jeans were in fashion and the time your eyeshadow made you look like a streetwalker at Christmas. But they also show us what we might miss at the moment the picture is being taken, the memory that is being made while that camera is flashing, the little details that get lost over time. So take as many pictures as you can and then a few years from now pull out those pictures and look at them; see whose moved on, in and out of your life. The way the people in the pictures move might just surprise you.
