Mmm, cheese. The glory of cheese. On my fourth cheese stick in the last half hour. Just saying. But I'll probably stop now because dinner is coming.
My mom is currently on the phone with my uncle's long time girlfriend. I don't like his girlfriend. Her name is.... Gen (I made up that name.. haha). I don't really like Gen, to be frank. She is sick in a million ways and she smokes way too much and she always wants to lay in bed and do nothing. She's very irritating. She's never really been mean spirited, but she never takes care of herself or my uncle. Literally, she's been in and out of the hospital every day for weeks at a time. She's dying and she won't help herself by quitting smoking or doing anything good for herself. My uncle and her are terrible for each other and I wish they would break up so I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore. She and my mom are on the phone, and Gen is complaining to my mom about my grandma (my uncle and dad's mom). Gen is absolutely and unnecessarily slamming my grandmother. It's frustrating me. She has nothing to complain about. There's a lot going on because my uncle apparently has to go out of the country because he finally found a job. My grandma is very worried about him because he doesn't like travelling and she's just doing her best to be the momma she is and give the best advice she can. Gen is complaining about all the ways my grandma is trying to help. It makes me mad. My grandma does her best to take care of my uncle and Gen and she's always giving advice and helping in my uncle's job search and just generally taking care of them and everything else. Gen has no right to be so ungrateful to my grandma after all she has done for them.
Look at how many people don't appreciate the people around them. People receive so much care and love from others and they just ignore it. Every day I try to tell the people around me that I appreciate them. I work hard to try to make those around me see that I am glad that they are in my life. I wish people did this more. Too many people feel under-appreciated. They feel worthless, not cared for. So many people don't see the point of life because they just think that they don't matter to anybody. Let people know that you care for them. Let them know that they are important before they go too far to be saved.
If I may offer a suggestion.... You know I am going to anyhow. The best way to positively impact a situation like this is to offer a positive counter-force. It does not help to hate what a hater does. In fact, it is like putting poop frosting on a larvae pie (nice analogy, huh?). The best that you can do is put a positive forcefield around the person you love who is getting dumped on. She is the only one that can make them stop dumping. In the meantime, love her as much or more as they are hating her. Be a source of positive energy that overpowers, overwhelms their negativity. As I said in class, when a Black Hole comes around, sucking up all of the energy in its vicinity, become a Super Nova, burning brighter than ever, outshining every bit of the negativity they can muster.
