I think i dwell a lot on the past...and i get sad easily when i think about friends that "moved on" without me and just...basically neglected me.

But then i think again, i think i've moved on too.

On saturday we (pneumatos) went downtown for a pizza run, giving pizza to the homeless people. I was grouped with PJ and i was just telling him about how i left my old church and a whole bunch of stuff and we started talking about in a lot of circumstances, you really can't say one side is totally right. Conflicts usually happen with misunderstanding, and there's rarely "one side" that you can say is totally right, or totally wrong.
It's so true...when i get all depressed because i feel liek friend A never valued our friendship and left me, i might've neglected the fact that i also made new friends and that friend B might think i don't like her/him anymore also b/c i've moved on.
Hm am i making sense?

That there are many things that goes both ways...if i'm thinking badly of one person, another person might be thinking badly about me too.
There's always two sides to many things, and sometimes thinking too...corner-ly is not good.

I NEED TO BE OPEN-MINDED.

Speaking of open-mindedness, i know this guy who is a really good christian and he fasted for a whole month trying to seek for God's guidance. When my dad asked him what he got out of the thirty days of no food, he said it was to be open-minded. wow, so profound.

i think we all have that kinda problem sometimes. we dwell on negative things and we always think why the heck some ppl wronged me or forgot about me. but sometimes we do the same to others too...

sigh... i really miss having you and your family at ntcbc...

I get that way too...sometimes I find that my expectations were way off and I end up disappointing myself.
