So although today was extremely less “interesting” than yesterday it still had a few highlights and or thoughts that I wanted to share with you. It started off with me going to go to school exceptionally early to see my girlfriend. I didn’t have to but I certainly did want to and now seeing as how the day ended up it was really good that I did (we barely got to see each other in the evening). It was only slightly distressing to see the guy that walked her to class last week attempt to not only walk her to class this week but also attempted to ask her out. I reiterate that isn’t that he in particular is asking her out but that anyone is asking her out. Anyway, I walked her to her class and then left to catch the bus home so I could get to my doctor’s appointment at 9:30 am. It was very much worth my time to be able to see her if only for a few minutes. As I was just about home she called me and told me she was done with her test. Apparently it was rather easy and she aced it. I got home and picked up my parents van, now I couldn’t resist going back to the school to spend some more time with her before my doctor’s appointment. I went to the orientation to see my doctor (it a community clinic so they do a lot of screening) and I have to tell you, seeing these people makes me appreciate my life so much more. I don’t have nearly the problems that these people face. Some people take issue with “public” services. But in all honesty it helps me be humble. I really do have so much. I try to not take that for granted.
I left the clinic and headed back to the school, where I was able to spend some time with my sweetheart. It wasn’t long due to the fact that I had to get to class. My biology class was painful as ever as my teacher seems to ramble on about virtually nothing for most of the class. I finished my biology class and headed over to my girlfriends class room to see if she was going to be done any time soon. I thought I saw her make the motion for me to wait for her so I figured I would give her a few minutes. We walked back to the institute and as we approached the same “friend” that had said all those rude things as of late was walking away from the institute. She gave me a look that could not be mistaken for anything except she knows something. It was a devilish grin to say the least. We went in and listened to the speaker that was from the San Diego Temple Presidency. She sat across from me as we listened intently to the speaker’s words. Often times she would look at me and just smile, other times she would mouth the words “I love you”. There was one time when she looked at me and I looked at her and I said “Aren’t these apples crisp?” and she said “That isn’t exactly what I was thinking.” I quickly figured out what she meant and I told her I was thinking about the same thing (I really was prior to the apple comment). I don’t know if there is anyone out there that can completely understand what I am about to say but perhaps you will. In that moment (much like other moments I have experience with her) I truly saw her for what she is and how incredibly beautiful she is too. These words hardly do the moment justice so I guess you will have just use your imagination. But I will say this much, it is as though time stood still for just that moment. After forum I had to return to my biology lab.
When I got out of class I called my sweetheart and she told me something distressing, the same girl that made the comment about me being rude was trying to get out of her about us. But what was more disturbing was what she said about another friend of mine. The “friend” told one of her friends that my friend (the girl that was insulted by her earlier this week) wasn’t really interested in him but was just playing him. By the way I hate using pronouns so much but I am trying to protect these people’s identities not that you will know these people but there is a chance others who do know them could read my blog.
This brings me to the title of this blog; this week has apparently been about gossiping, back biting, and rudeness. Why does it have to be like this? It just seems there is so much negativity going around right now. It feels like an epidemic! I am perplexed on what to do to help the situation. Why can’t we all just get along? Whatever happened to speaking well of one another? The damage and destruction of these words cannot be calculated. I would almost prefer to being hurt physically than to be verbally abused. With physical pain the wounds will heal but with verbal abuse the tears shed can often last for years. The person’s voice saying the hurtful thing is often times repeated in one’s head for quite some time to come. I hope there can be a resolution to this problem not only in my immediate circle of friends but also in the world. Wouldn’t it be a very different place if we all tried to make each other’s day a bit better or a bit brighter? What if we could start that as a trend instead of this negativity that is going on now?
