Faith, religion, and plastic lawn flamingos.

I'm not quick off the draw to say that I am deeply religious, (I am  very Spiritual) Religion causes confusion and a slew of awkward pointless arguments. I don't like the sayings have a little faith or Pray about it.. now I'm not saying its wrong to pray or have faith but their is a time to pray and a time to get up and make things happen.God helps those who help themselves, you can't sit around an wait for a higher power to drop it all in your lap. I don't like the aggressive side of religion, the countless lives taken in the name of faith. Believe in my god or die, not sure thats going to get you in "good" with god. I wish people would question faith and religion a little more.All books on religion were written by mankind.. and mankind is good for a lie or two. I think all you need to do is make this ( your life) all that you can, treat each day as if it were your last ( don't spend it being a jerk) love as much and as deeply as you can. I'm pretty sure thats what god wants in the first place.




"Love is a promise,
love is a souvenir,
once given never forgotten,
never let it disappear. "
~John Lennon

perfection.

perfection, perfection is a religion I put blood sweat and tears into, and always fell short of pure bliss.My knees are scraped from chasing dreams of such beauty I fall to the ground with weakness. After years of being  a faithful servant of the religion of perfection I now see it only as a state of mind ( as it should be) trying to be picture perfect is as pointless as trying to catch a shadow. What makes us "perfect" is our inability to be perfect, our flaws are what make us who we are, without flaws we would all be drones.

friends till the end or just till you say so????

Nothing bothers me more than not being friends with someone I was really close to. I understand people change and can grow apart but not to the point you could careless about me or what goes on in my life. ( Christ all mighty on a Trike, I wish I could say I felt the same.) What bothers me most is when someone is brain washed not to talk to me.. really? Grow a pair of balls. Your not a child and you can make your own choices. A rare few that broke off  a friendship with me have came back and said wow Rachel you were right I messed up.***DING DING DING *** You win a prize and the prize is having your douche bag club membership revoked! I don't want the whole wide world to love me, but when I go out of my way to care I would at least like a sliver of thought in return.So stop being a big nasty infected vagina and be my friend damn it!, 'cause I'm pretty flipping awesome.
