The Harshest Thing You Could Do

People can be nasty

The Harshest Thing You Could Do

I was thinking of some heavy things.

My mind tends to have a highly active imagination and when I’m bored or doing nothing in class (which is like half of my school day,) I think of random things that don’t relate to what I’m doing that day.

Today, in the middle of biology class, my mind was wandering.

I was thinking of the meanest and cruelest thing one person can do to another person emotionally.

Now, if we were talking about a bigger scale of cruel and mean things, there are the obvious choices one might assume, like murdering someone or drowning their hamster.

But I was thinking about things in an emotional way.

I’m a pretty emotional person.

Now as I was thinking I finally came to a decision on the cruelest thing a person can do and I think that is to give someone false hope.

To give someone a fake realization can be an unknown crime to someone. This makes it tricky because the person who is giving the empty promises and stolen lies can be completely unaware of their actions until proven guilty.

I guess you can say I’ve had my fair share of experiences just like this.

Giving someone empty promises is a very harsh thing to do, especially if someone has a highly active imagination like I do.

I constantly make mini scenarios in my head that would never happen so when they do, you can imagine my excitement.

But expectation isn't everything, and everything will work out in the end.

If it's not worked out then it's not the end.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
