Impressions


Have you ever noticed that you never really know the intentions of others when you are reading things rather than actually seeing a person's face, looking them in the eyes, and seeing their sincerity?

I have found that lately, my comments have been taken out of context several times and I'm really not sure how to handle it. If I try to protect myself and explain, I come off as defensive and if I act like it didn't happen, it just sits in the pit of my stomach because now I know that someone has a skewed vision of who I am. What's even more difficult is when you know these people are talking about you amongst each other. If you've ever had the feeling that you're standing in the middle of a crowded room shouting, then you may have an inkling of how I feel. I want to redeem myself. I want people to know that I am an honest, trustworthy, friendly, open, curious, fun, caring, and sincere person. I want people to know that my intentions are never bad. I wish the best for everyone and just because I do not like someone does not mean that I do not wish them all of the happiness in the world. Everyone deserves the best. We are all God's creatures and we all deserve to enjoy the best of what He has to offer us.

All I can do is the best that I can do.

Friends are hard to come by and the best of those friends will stand by you in your worst time. Friends will defend you when all others are standing by and joining the croud. Friends will not jump to conclusions, they will find out the root and help you get through the rough patches.
True friends... now those are diamonds. Where are my jewels?
