I just came out with that little piece of wisdom all by myself. Seriously though, it's true. We all know the kind - supposedly butter wouldn't melt but actually her tongue is hotter than the even the most fiery pit of hell.
"See, at least me and Regina know we're mean! You try to act so innocent like, 'Oh, I used to live in Africa with all the little birdies and the little monkeys!' "
I will never admit to being an angel. I've done things that I'm not proud of - things that I'm really very sorry for but I want to live by these rules:
1) Never say anything about anyone behind their back that you wouldn't say to their face. - I mean, you don't actually have to say it to their face but always think that you're talking to that person if you're talking about them.
2) Don't insult people based on their appearance. - They can't change it. What's the point in criticising her big nose? It might make you feel better for about five minutes, but an insult about your appearance can stay with you for years.
3) Don't be two faced. - This one is obvious. Two faced people may think they have more friends, but they end up with far less in the long run. Think of someone you know who is two faced - do you value their friendship? If you do, it's probably because you're just like them.
4) Cut the people out who drain you - To live means living it to the full. You can't do that with people who are constantly squashing you down. Sure, you might miss them for a bit - but it will be the same way a druggie misses heroin. It's better for you in the long run that you stay clean.
5) Give more compliments - Be honest. When we get ready to go out we spend a long time and effort trying to look nice, but no one really ever comments on it. I don't know if it's envy or us genuinely not noticing, but the next time you see your friend tell her how gorgeous she is. Or when she says something clever or kind, tell her so.
6) Look after those who are more vulnerable than you. - It's all very well seeing someone with depression make a cry for attention - but calling them attention-seekers is disgusting. When you see someone who is homeless, it is tempting to think that they put themselves in that situation - but it's a disgusting thing to do. We are all equal and we all go through our ups and downs, and it's our job to be there for each other.
So, my day started off pretty horribly today. I didn't want to get out of bed. But I did. Sure, I haven't got to the stage where I have styled my hair or done my make-up yet, but I'm going to work later so that will give me a boost....
My hair and make up is done. I've decided to play the role of Puck today. I'm not sure what inspired me to do write this post - but I felt inspired so that's something!!
