Gone, Almost

So many things have happened in the past week, too much to go over in detail, so here is a brief overview.

Tuesday I went ice skating with Emanuel, Caise and Kwame. It was fun.
Wednesday I just worked and came home.
Thursday I went to dinner with Emanuel at a Japanese restaurant, then went to cold stone <3. After all of that, he and I came back to my house, and watched a movie.
Friday I went to see Book of Eli wit Emanuel, Ashley and their friend Sorya. That movie was truly amazing.
Saturday I went out with some girls from Buff State which was a lot of fun. I spent the rest of the night with Emanuel, it was the last time I am going to see him until the summer most likely.
Today I went snowboarding with my dad, brother, and best friend. I am so beat right now, it's ridiculous.

It breaks my heart that I am not going to be able to see my boyfriend for this whole semester, but it's just one of those things that happens in life. I don't think that people fully know what it is to NOT see the person they love for so long. The fact that distance is, to me, the worst enemy of love. The fact is that I already know what this semester has in store. The fact is that this is going to be very difficult, but I have to be prepared for it.

I am tired of people dictating to me or simply commenting on how I live. The fact is that those I chose to hang out with are the people that honestly have been there for me, with me, and have screwed me over, basically. I am really tired of people commenting on things that they honestly have no full knowledge on. I can honestly say that if half of the people whom say things about me, go through the things that I go through, they would not say a word about anything. But of course, that will not happen, and I honestly don't want it to happen to anyone. I am just so tired of people sitting on their high horse, and saying things about me. But, again, things aren't going to happen in the way and I just wish that people would stop being so judgmental about things, and start focusing on their own flaw.

Another thing that is bothering me greatly is making fun of other people, in ways that surpass the "line" so to speak. It's one thing to just joke around, but once you say things that are offensive and just wrong, there is a need to stop. Repetition of the same joke to simply hurt people, then to say that "it's just a joke", well, some jokes aren't funny, at all. It always gets to the point where people have to fight back, with the same words till people understand. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Treat others with respect, the respect that you would want from others.

One thing that I have learned is that people really shouldn't take for granted what they have.

I have a week left in NYC, and I can't help to say that I am pretty happy about it. The fact is that I have met some truly amazing people in Buffalo, and I really can't wait to see them all. I am going to miss some people here at home, especially my best friend.
