I saw this bumper sticker on the bumper sticker application on MySpace and thought it was great! “Don’t make someone a priority when they make you an option.” How true is that? How many of us have friends, co-workers and signficant others that we make such a big part of our lives but feel that they are just “throwing you a bone” by even talking to you here and there. You go around thinking you have it all together when really they only talk to you when its convienent for them!

Better yet how many of you wives feel like you give and give and give to your spouses and get nothing in return? Sure they may take out the garbage but do they give you the emotional support that you need? Help you carry in the groceries? Send you flowers for no reason at all?

Moral of the story, never place a person on a pedistal when they dont deserve it. If you know someone isnt treating you with the respect you deserve you are just as bad as they are if you let them get away with it. You cannot complain about the things you do not take the steps to change!

So where has originality gone? This is my question of the day. Looking around the workplace or even malls you can’t help but notice little clicks of people all dressed the same with the same haircuts. Last I knew it was good to have your own personality and own way of thinking. I guess that is now a thing of the past! Hell you even see couples in matching attire. GET REAL! And if you have the same haircut as your boyfriend maybe you need to refer to this blog http://www.dramahaters.com/2008/06/03/dike-spike/ regarding the dike spike!!!!

People have started to adapt their way of thinking, dressing and acting around whomever they are with at the time. If this person shaved their head, started dressing like a clown and jumped off a bridge would you be inclined to do it too? I understand someone getting something and you saying OMG that’s so cute…I want it…but in this instance you would think they would be referring to possessions not your entire identity.

Moral of this post is: Be Different. Live on the edge. BE YOURSELF!!!!

Many of us spend our lives trying to build and maintain lasting friendships. While doing this we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday dealings so much so we take for granted those friendships we do have.

So I’d like to take this opportunity to say be good to your friends. Listen, love and laugh when they need you and even when they dont. Tell them how you feel even if its going to upset them and make sure they know how valuable their friendship is to you.

Life can change in an instant and you never know what tomorrow may hold.
