It seems that I am falling back into my old groove of things. The events of the last 2 weeks have been quite chaotic. I really do not want to sound dramatic but I think for the first time in my life, I was somebody's rebound. There is just something I need to get off my chest, something that is just bugging me constantly, its the fact that most people do not have the courage to be honest, and that common decency seems to be a thing of the past.
Maybe it was the way I was raised, or that I am just a genuinely good person, but it seems like I am one of the few that actually have some kind of concern for the way others feel. Keep in mind I do not usually focus my energy on topics relating to relationships, but these days it seems to be pretty relevant. A good friend brought up a point to me the other day about conviction, more so the lack of conviction and a sense of self people lack these days. Maybe its geographical location, or maybe there is just something about me, but from what I gather it seems to be a major part of American society.
Whatever happened to the days of loyalty, dedication, and having a sense of self? I encourage whoever might be reading this to really think about what I am saying, you can see it all around you. As Americans it seems like we have lost focus on the important things in life and its pathetic and sad. What are you going to do if you cant get that new truck? You are going to get it on credit, loose your job and face financial ruin which then destroys families, marriages, friendships.
We are becoming a nation of mindless consumers with no true aspirations and its just creating this vicous circle of misery.
Its back to square one for me, because almost everything I have written tonight I have had a taste of one way or the other. Maybe I sound hypocritical, but I have learned my lessons. I really hope everyone else can.
