I care about your understanding

Was it Worth it?

(This post is related to my big question. I write a lot outside school and now I'm going to be writing to her at school.)

Have you ever been in love? Most of you guys are probably in high school, and you always hear the same thing. "You are too young to be in love." That might be true but what if they are wrong.

My close friend met a girl his junior year and he believed she was the one. Yes, they fell "in love" then they started to date. After a month, he stopped talking to me. After 6 months, he looked miserable. He wasn't able too even look at me. One day, he texts me saying they broke up. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to talk to him after he left for 9 months for a girl. Then I thought there must have been a reason. Right? Who would leave their closest friend for someone that could possibly not be the one? Was it love? 

He started telling me about how he was treated, I won't go into details but it was bad enough to one point, I felt as if I needed to say something to her.

1 out of 7 men are a victim of
 emotional abuse

Women are victims, but so are men. He felt as if he had to change himself for her to make her stay and love him. It angers me to bring this up again and think about it. She had him stop talking to his best friend of a couple years and she didn't allow him to even listen to music. There are other things but like I said I am not going into too many details.

My point that I am trying to get across is, Love is powerful but are you strong enough to notice if its love or abuse? You don't have to change yourself for anyone. It's your life and you decide what is best for you. It all starts with a choice and it also ends with one decision.

The making of an essay

Gosh, I hate writing, well not the writing part. The part when I start writing or typing and I get off-topic so by the end of the essay, I'm talking about my old dog and not the birds that were the main idea. See we are supposed to be talking about our writing experiences with essays, and it is a hassle for me. I got all these things on my mind and I just ramble on and on to where I lose what the main idea is. Nothing really seemed to change the way I write today.

Big brothers first impression

Maybe I am not cut out for such a reading, I felt like half of the article I was searching up what each word meant. I felt like this article is good to teach someone something new or to let them know what they are doing has a name. It is very informational. I did enjoy the rules part: 

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

I rule number two, maybe because I don't have such high vocabulary. These are actually quite helpful, they all make sense. Like why have all those extra words when you don't need them? 

50 first pages

Gosh, I just love Mythology. Do you know what that is? Well the definition that first comes up is, a "collection of myths, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition." Have you ever heard of Zeus, Hades, Athena or even Nike? You probably think, "Oh Nike like the shoe brand." You are correct in a way. Nike is the Goddess of victory, that is what the brand is named after. Pretty cool huh? Something so simple can have a background. Anyways, back to my book. It has to do with Mythology. I love it, even though I read more than 50 pages. Yeah, I know it is fiction and all fake but hey I can dare to dream. You guys believe in god right? How are many of these Gods and Goddess any different?

Conscience of a hacker

He was very aggressive and cold. We read it and he kept using profanity and was very daring with it. He thinks that we are all alike but in a way we are. He talked in third person then he stopped in a part of the writing which was weird. Also throughout it, he has this dark humor. 

Thinking about what I want to think about

With this big question in mind, I want to see why people feel the way they do about men. Why they don't think about how women are and how they treat men. I hope I can get some sense of why people think what they think.
