Father into your hands I commend my spirit, Father into your hands. Why have you forsaken me? In your eyes foresaken me? In your thoughts foresaken me? In your heart foresaken me? Trust in my self-righteous suicide. I cry when angels deserve to die...
I've realized...
Over the weekend I took a long hard look at my life and realized that I am a horrible friend. I lie, I get jealous, I relentlessly say things I shouldn't and have no second thoughts on it whatsoever. I rarely apologize for anything unless I absolutely feel the need. I keep secrets I shouldn't and blab secrets I should keep secret, I don't tell people what's wrong with me and I instead tell people what's wrong with them and what they should do to fix what's wrong with them rather than fixing what's wrong with me. I blame everyone else but me and I don't think through anything I do. I pick favorites and shun others, I bend the truth to my favor and can't stand criticism, yet I criticize everyone else. I prejudize people, I'm a hypocite to the extreme, I expect the world to be handed to me on a silver plate, I expect people to keep their day open so I can spend time with them, and I expect others to stop whatever they're doing to entertain me. I'm highly defiant and do what I want despite how it may affect others. I do cruel, irresponsible, inappropriate, and uncalled-for things and expect people to be fine with it. If they aren't, I shrug it off and make them feel unimportant, and expect them to still like me. When I'm happy, everything's just fine, but when I'm angry or depressed, I drag people down in a bad mood with me. When I do apologize for something, I expect people to just accept it and move on, and when they don't I wonder why and get all bitchy. I lose my trust and reliability in the people that matter most to me and I expect them to get over it and believe me again. Not only that, but I'm highly reptetive and it gets very annoying to everyone. I have far too much pride to admit when I'm wrong, and when I verbally admit to it, mentally I still think I'm right. I'm self-righteous and over-protective yet overly apathetic. I always have to have my own way and I get huffy if anything goes otherwise. I do things to my loved ones(bad things) and yell at them when they do the same to me. I am dramatic(usually soap opera-ish)
There is so much more wrong with me, and I don't have the time or memory to write all of them. This is only scratching the surface of my flaws, major and minor, and I try to make it up to people but I end up blowing it. I regret doing and being and saying all of these things, but what I regret more is not being able to change this about myself, and not having enough sense to drop some of my pride, if not all of it, and ask for help. I only hope that one day I can get over the way I treat people and become a far better person. I don't want to lose my friends because of how I act, what I say and do, and how I go about fixing things.

I'm taking a lot of time off for myself to reflect more on my life and how things could turn out if I dont change... which I've already pretty much figured out as obvious... I'm going to look into making a goal to become the person I want to be and create goals and ideas and tricks to help make that a reality. For those I hurt, I doubt an apology would make a difference by now... The things I said and did and thought to those people, an apology wouldn't cut it. They wouldn't accept my apology anyway. And there really isn't anything I can do about it because I refuse to beg for anything, it's utterly demeaning to both parties to bribe or buy forgiveness, and I will certainly not resort to forcing people to forgive me. If they want to come to terms and actually want to sit down and talk and listen to me, then I will talk and listen to them. But if all they want to do is yell at me for being such a dickwad then they're wasting their breath. Because I already know that. I already know how horrible of a person I've been, and I don't need anyone to tell me again and again. I have myself doing that already. I understand if they're angry, I understand they want to get back at me for everything that happened, and I understand why. But I don't need them to kick me in the a** because of it. I'm taking care of that every waking and sleeping moment of my life and I always will be. I don't care if they won't accept any apologies from me, I don't expect them to. But I will tell them that I'm sorry just so they know that I realize how bad I ******** up. After what I did I don't expect them to be all hunky-dory with anything anymore, I don't expect them to say "that's okay" anymore(because it isn't), and I certainly don't expect them to forgive me anymore. If they want to continue being mad at me, they have every right and I will not take that right away from them. If and when the time comes that I have to tolerate them or they have to tolerate me, I will come to terms with them, do what needs to be done, not say a word otherwise, and move on. Antagonising the people I've hurt won't make anything better. :sweat: I'm sure you're all through with listening to me preach, and I'm sure you're probably just skimming over everything by now. But that's fine... I don't care anymore... I don't want anyone to think that I've learned my lesson because I know I haven't.. Not yet, and probably not ever... And I don't want anyone to think I'm being self-righteous and pitious.. But I can't stop you from thinking whatever you want and I won't stop you either... But for those that actually do care and aren't just replying to kick me in my journal, I want you to know that I have realized what's wrong and that I have thought of the consequences and that I want to fix it and that I'm trying. I really am... And that's as far as I've gotten in thinking things out. I need a lot more time to figure things out still and I know it's going to take a lot of work and determination to change myself. But it's something I desparately need to do if I want to be successful in anything I do. I'm trying as hard as I can, and f.f.r., some friendly advice would be more helpful than anything in the world.
