Own up to your mistakes

"People are so quick to judge others' faults, but never quick to point out their own."

First of all, I am in NO way perfect, nor do I ever claim to be. I'm real and choose to be, because really that's a lot easier than having to lie to somebody over and over again until you've forgotten the truth. Being blunt has always gotten me in trouble. That's fine by me! I would rather upset someone because I was honest to them, rather than see the pain in their eyes because I lied to them. What's important to me is that I can sleep at night knowing I did nothing wrong. That's one comfortable good night's rest, I'd say! :)

What it boils down to, is if you're honest you're less likely to continually look upon others and try to focus on what you can do to fix your faults. If you step down from your pedestal and realize everybody walks on the same ground you do, no higher nor lower, you can begin to understand that we all have issues. Overcoming our faults and growing from mistakes we've made is really all we can do. Recognition is far more important than judgement. Burning bridges along the way is no way to live your life. You can constantly blame others for your actions, but in the end you know the truth. You know that you're just as much to blame, if not more so, than the other people you're blaming. My point really, is that if you don't want to be alone, I suggest you mend those hearts you've crushed, build those bridges burned, and love unconditionally without blame. I try to see the good in people, even when they've burned bridge after bridge with me, I'm still going to love them and be there for them. I understand that nobody's perfect and I accept that. Can you?

To be or not to be. . .

I've been thinking a lot lately about true friends and not so true friends. I've always been the type that cares about my friends by seeing if they're doing ok, giving them comfort, and just spending time with them (to most who know me know I don't have a lot of time to spend). However, when I need comfort, just a phone call, or simple hi, how are you? I don't get it. I really don't require much. All I want is to be thought of. The worst feeling is not being lonely, but being forgotten by someone you would never forget. I'm not a selfish person, but it feels horrible to be somebody's go to when everybody else is taken. I want to be the first person you think of when you need somebody. I've proven that I'm loyal haven't I? If not, tell me so I can fix it.

I find it interesting how everyone is finally noticing me, only after I point out that I'm being ignored. I'm tired of the egos, the bullshit, and selfishness. I'm tired of my so-called friends ignoring or just plain forgetting me. Do you really care? Do you? I seriously doubt it and it will take a lot of convincing for me to believe you. I don't trust anyone right now with my heart. I don't even trust myself. This roller coaster of emotions right now has me seeing red. I can't see why I'm not important enough to want to hang out with, talk to, or just say hi to. Apparently I don't fit into anybody's busy schedule and I should just forget trying. I'm no longer going to be the one reaching out. If you want me, come and get me. I'm done. I can't take the torment anymore. The torment of needing and wanting somebody that doesn't want me. Show me or go away and never return. I don't need anyone if they're just going to be a constant disappointment. In order to feel wanted, you need to want in return. It's a two way street. All this one-sided bullshit is just that: BULLSHIT!

Communication is key to relationships. One may talk more than the other, but if one doesn't talk at all, there's nothing to go off of. There's nobody on the other line to laugh with, to cry with, or to grow in friendship with. Nothing but a conversation with myself. I can make myself laugh, but no man is an island. That won't last long for me to truly be content. God put people on this earth to be together and to compliment each other. We need not forget that. Too many have though and are so blinded by self-satisfaction they forget they can be satisfied by the person staring back at them. They don't need for things. I have a lot to give as just a friend. I really do. I'm confident in knowing I'm the best friend a person can have. I'm loyal and protective. I'm kind and honest. I am selfless and caring. I'm not saying all of this to brag or boast. I'm saying it to point out my qualities. I'm rare. You can ask the friends I've had for ten plus years. They've been through ups and downs with me. They still know that no matter what, I'll always care about them and always think of them.

I refuse, from this day forward to be with you and be forgotten. After all, I used to be lonely. I'm more than that now and choose to be alone rather than fighting for your friendship.(I'm posting it today, but this was originally written Monday. I'm less pissy about it today.)

Cheesy Pick Up Lines

I love cheesy pick up lines. I thought I'd share them. :)

Can you give me directions to your heart?
I've seemed to have lost myself in your eyes.

Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?

Is it hot in here, or is it just you?

Do you believe in love at first sight... or should I walk by you again?

Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?

Something tells me you're sweet. Can I have a sample?

Do you mind if I stare at you up close instead of from across the room?

If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I would be walking through my garden forever.

If beauty were time, you'd be eternity.

I'd ask you for a light, but you've already lit my fire.

I don't dance. But I'd love to hold you while you do.

You look like a girl who has heard every pick up line in the book, so what's one more going to hurt?

Baby, you're so sweet, you put Hershey's outta business.

There's so much to say but your eyes keep interrupting me.

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

If I told you you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

A curved line is the loveliest distance between two points.

Just call me milk, I'll do your body good.

That sweater looks nice on you but it would look nicer crumpled up beside my bed.

Excuse me is your last name Gillette? ...because you are the best a man can get!

Your lips are kinda wrinkled. Mind if I press them?

If I gave you a sexy negligee, would there be anything in it for me?

Clothes aren't sexy. Women are.

Please be patient - this is my first time.

All those curves, and me with no brakes.

You can't be real. May I pinch you to see if I'm dreaming?

Gee, that's a nice set of legs, what time do they open?

I may not be Fred Flintstone but I can sure make your bed rock!

Is your dad a thief or something? Because someone stole the stars and put them into your eyes!

I’ve heard sex is a killer. Want to die happy?

Excuse me, but I’m new in town, can I have directions to your place?

Can I buy you a drink – or would you just prefer the five bucks?

I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.

I wish I were a tear so i could start in your eyes, live on your face, and die on your lips.

Am I cute enough yet? Or do you need more to drink?

You must be the reason for global warming because you’re hot.

You know what would look great on you? Me.

Can I read your T shirt in brail?

Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.

You know what? Your eyes are the same color as my Porsche.

I think I need to call heaven because they’ve lost one of their angels.

Do you believe in the hereafter? Well, then I guess you know what I’m here after.

Do you have a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your pants.

The body is made up of 90% water and I’m thirsty.

Baby you must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night!

Are you an overdue book? Because you’ve got FINE written all over you!

How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice- can I get your number?

I have Skittles in my mouth, wanna taste the rainbow?

That’s a nice shirt. Can I talk you out of it?

You know, winning the lottery doesn’t mean much when you have a weak heart.

If I had a garden I’d put your tulips and my tulips together.

What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hulk? My zipper. (GROSS)

If you were a new sandwich at McDonalds, you’d be called McGorgeous.

Can I even get a fake number?

You’ll do.

Okay, I think that's enough. You get the gist. LOL. Love 'em all!
