Tuesday

Sorry for no blog last night guys I was wiped out after baseball. Probably had something to do with the sleep I got the night before on the megabus...if you can call it sleep.

But Monday wasn't too bad except I was really stuffy and just had the aches all day. Today started off better, I got my necessary 6 hours of sleep and I felt rejuvenated. The day was pretty average except for English where I got to eat cake! That was a bonus. I was talking to Emily and told her, "You can't have your cake and eat it to," but evidently I was wrong...because we both had the cake and ate it too.

That's the topic for tonight. No, not cake. Having the best of both worlds. I sometimes want what I can't have. (if you refer to earlier blogs you will see my stance on that topic) But in reality somethings in life serve one purpose. And yes, what's meant to be will be. I catch myself expecting too much sometimes. Out of friends, family, and on occasion myself.

I put people that I respect on a pedestal and I feel let down when they don't reach my expectations. But I guess that's better than not expecting anything?

Back to the topic at hand though. Some people come into your life to help you overcome something. That is their sole purpose. And when you expect more than that you end up feeling let down. Other people in life are meant to be there full time. You can just feel it sometimes. That one person who truly belongs in your life. Whether its as a friend or more than that only time can tell. But when you feel like someone special walks into your life, do everything you can to keep them there.

The literal meaning behind having cake and eating it to stems to the idea that once you eat your cake you no longer possess it. What a dumb meaning. Obviously that's true, that's why you make sure you have cake to sustain yourself. That way you can continually eat it and still possess some cake.

Sorry thy was a bit random. But for real now. The main point I'm trying to drive home is that you need to figure out what someone really means to you. Find out what purpose they serve in your life and embrace it. Accept that not every girl you befriend will fall in love with you. Accept that not every guy you meet will be your best friend. But when find those guys who are your best friends, and you find the girl who loves you. Keep them close to you. Never let them go. And as I always say, fight for them.

"I will follow you to the ends of the world."
A great quote from what turned out to be a good book. But still my favorite quote from 1000 Splendid Suns has to be when Tariq tells Laila. "I'm not afraid of him, you know." I love that Tariq would fight for Laila. Laila had been forced to settle for less than she deserved and Tariq was willing to fight for her because he truly loved her. Real chivalry right there. I'd do it too though. If the opportunity arose.
