Being Closer to God

14 :) Alone.._ Flowing out, cleansing oneself.

Writing is my instrument for letting out of myself, of releasing my thoughts that has been keep in...

My status in school is when they see me, they thought I am a student that lives with just text books and school but the truth is, I'm not. I am lazy too sometimes at our house, I am a tv addict but I am changing it and I don't read text books at home, when the exam days are just coming. Bottomline, I am like them, like my other classmates.

The truth why I don't go with my friends's gigs is I don't like some of their attitude and I just don't go with them like I understand them and they understand me. I just can't really go with 4 particular friends because they have made a group of themselves that they are the only ones that can understand each other. 

I understand that they just you know, understand each other but creating a group can make a thin wall from others even though they say na welcome pa rin naman yung iba na maging friends namin, friends pa rin kami sa lahat.

Siguro, ako lang ang nag-iisip nito. Well, yun lang feel ko. Kapag kasi kasama ko sila, ang tagal na nila magkakasama and when they are laughing, I am not and when I am laughing, they are not. I am different. 

Siguro... I haven't found my friend or siguro I just need to appreciate them and flow with them pero ayaw ko kasi magaya sa some attitudes nila. Sabi nga, "Choose who your friends is." diba?

I am still confused. Naalala ko yung good Samaritan. Magiging good Samaritan nalang ako. Kapag, they need me, I'll be there pero I will not forget the things I need to do. Like the good samaritan, after niyang iniwan yung jew sa isang inn, umalis din siya to continue his life...

:)

Pleasing... Honestly, I want to please everyone. I need to remove that. We must think what God wants us to do, we must please God, not other people.
