standards

We all do things that we regret - some more than others. But the idea is that everything happens for a reason, even though sometimes the reason is silly. Like if its a boy (or girl), not buying that one article of clothing that you love, or even something thats a little detrimental to your own body like pushing yourself too hard at the gym or drugs. Everything is fun at the time - and hopefully you do it to get to a certain goal. But as much as we hate to think of society is a horrible place and everyone needs to fend for themselves, that is the case. There's only ever going to be one person that puts you first - you. Yes, your parents and relatives will take care of you if needed but sometimes you have to be selfish. You have to think of number one because you are the only person that really knows what you want.

So think about it. Is it worth all that trouble when some guy (or girl) comes around and you get butterflies every time you see them? Or is it really worth straining your body to get the "perfect" body when really its other people that you're trying to impress? Not to mention that everyone has a different point of view when it comes to what they think is "hot", "gorgeous", or "pretty". The clothes we wear - guys usually don't notice - so who are we really trying to impress? It's a competition within the sex. And I hate to say it but sometimes the ones that are nice and take home to mom material get picked last just because people aren't ready to settle down - which is fine. We are the one that are going to be picky in the end - because well, we have a thing called standards.

Keep your head up high and look out for number one. Trust your gut when it tells you that something isn't right. It's usually right.
