What's more important?

Sometimes I think that God puts us through some of the things we go through just to see how long it takes for us to look to the sky and say "Why God?". You try to be there for your friends, giving them amazing advice, but then realizing that advice applies to your life too. Most of the time its too late to fix what you already screwed up.

It hurts my heart when people take advantage of what God has given them. Like your voice. Why would you use your voice to hurt someone when you could be healing their wounds?

Do you remember that elementary school phrase "What goes around, comes around"? Well, if you use your voice to encourage someone instead of tearing them down, then someone will probably be there for you when you need a shoulder to cry on. Figuratively speaking, or sometimes literally.

The really sad thing is when I try to do the right thing, but I somehow get sucked into all the pointless drama. Most of it doesn't even concern me!! Then I waste my time and energy on something that doesn't even make sense... that frustrates me so much because then instead of goofing around with my friends, I am venting all of this built up frustration.

Another thing that I have been realizing is that I am wasting my time on people who honestly don't care what I think or what I have to say. But then when they want something, they are suddenly my "best friend". But I only feel complete for a minute or even just a few seconds, just until they are done with me and they move on. Why am I wasting my time when I could be spending that valuable time on God, my family, and the people that God has obviously shoved in my face to minister to??

I realized that there was so much that I didn't know about my little brother. That's really sad because we live in the same house. Yet somehow I know about so-and-so's new boyfriend at school. Lately I have been doing a serious reality check.

What's more important, fitting in, or standing out?
