the first of two very necessary posts
I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time now. Before college had even begun, I was planning on writing people letters. I got peoples school addresses so I could send them some loving mail. I had about 20 addresses and I didn’t write a single letter. I bought postcards for people during the postcard sale, some for people back home and some for people at school. I knew what I wanted to say on the postcards, but why didn’t I write them? I only sent out two postcards, both of which were for people ON campus. Why did I do that? I can talk to people on campus every day, but it’s hard to contact people off campus. People love mail and I want them to know I still care about them even though I’m away at school. Why is it that I do nice things for people who are so insignificant that I can do without them but fail to treat those who I cherish with the same intent? Chloe says it’s just the type of person I am, a notable characteristic. I don’t want to waste time making things for people that don’t matter anymore. I should spend more time thinking about those who do matter.
Sometimes it sucks. Making things for people that have little to no significance in your life. Depending on the other person, they may take my kindness the wrong way. It REALLY sucks when the other person is unappreciative. That pisses me off the most. I spend my own free time making or doing something nice for you and you can’t even say “thank you,” really? Go screw yourself. This isn’t about anyone in specific, I’m just ranting. I’ve come across a number of people who haven’t said “thank you” or anything in that nature. They just look at me and take it. That’s what makes me feel sorry for myself for ever thinking about making a nice gesture. A little appreciation can go a long way. Same goes for niceness. But nothing beats being geniune.
This sums up what I’ve been trying to say
