I was just thinking.... I really love the church. If you follow what they say life is good. It might look better to be doing something else, but once you are there you see that it is whole lot better where you were. For example, they say to do service for everyone and love your neighbor and all that jazz. They also say to not gossip and stuff. If you do both of those you're extra safe, because if for some reason a rumor does get spread around that isn't true, most people won't believe it if you are really nice and helping people all the time. But if you aren't as good of an example everyone just believes everything and they all have their own twist to the story. Then it gets bigger and bigger until it turns into some ridiculous story that everyone is worked up about that isn't really even anything.
And also, if you start doing something not so good you just get deeper and deeper into it. Even though you hear everyday at church that something little can lead to something huge, everyone thinks oh that isn't really going to happen to me. But it realized I am getting worse and worse. Like, when I was younger if I heard anyone swear I was like oh my gosh! ahhhhh! It used to practically burn my ears. And now, I am so used to hearing it around me all the time it doesn't even phase me. Then next thing you know you just swear every once in awhile, then that doesn't seem to be a big deal so you start to swear all the time. I really have witnessed this happen with some of my friends. Not just with swearing, just with everything. They get caught up in something and turn into someone totally different. Someone who used to be your nicest and funnest best friend can get caught up in something and be the total opposite. So, I am sick of it. I am really going to try to go back to how I used to be. I was just a lot better at the beginning of the year, and I things seemed to be better for me. That's who I am going to try to be, just a better me. :)
