It's Not Worth It

I’ve recently seen and heard a couple stories about people thinking about taking their lives and some who actually did it. I can’t say I have had thoughts about suicide, myself, but my heart still bleeds for those people, hearing their stories always puts me in a gloomy mood.

Whenever this topic comes up I always think about this song by Bei Maejor. It’s about a suicidal teenager whose parents are not there for him, he has no friends and hates his life; the only people who are there for him are his sister and Maejor. The song tells the story of his life turning around with their help. Even though I can’t connect myself to the actual story of the song, I appreciate it for its message and my favorite part of the song, at the end:

Anybody going through anything, thinking about taking their life or anything, don’t, it’s not worth it for real, it can change at any minute. 

Trust God, Love yourself, There’s people who love you.

Society

Our society tries to change and shape us into what it wants. It spins us around, picks us up and lets us fall. It is around us all the time, we cannot escape it.

If it doesn’t understand us than we are labeled as “weird” or “crazy” and the vulnerable die just trying to fit in, over shoes, following trends, because we think that is what make us look cool. Society makes it seem like money is the most important thing and those who don’t know better will do anything to get it. But ask them about Integrity and they don’t know what it means. 

At the end of the day those who know who they are, can deal the criticism, accept their flaws and live happy, while the rest conform to society, constantly try to change themselves and are eventually too “fake” to know who they truly are.

           

Adding/Dropping Classes

First day of class and I’m running late! When I arrived I was relieved to find people still standing outside. I stood in line with them for a few minutes, thinking it was the line for attendance, until I found out they weren’t even in the class, they just wanted to join.

I took a seat and look at everyone, standing in the front of the class. It was crazy that there were more of them, then students already in the class. 

I felt bad for the students who were rejected and had to walk out but I was relieved for myself knowing that I had a seat in all my classes. I knew how those students felt because I remembered when I was enrolling for classes online and all of the ones I wanted to take were full. I remember feeling angry and upset, I kept telling myself that I should have done this sooner.

Hopefully we can all learn from these students and remember this next semester when we wait till the last minute to add a class.
