In my mind, we fight our own battles, meaning that we choose them as well. No one forces us to do anything, but because of our own liking to be correct, we fight the dumb ones anyway. I am telling you this because a lot of people in my life are instigators. They love to stir up trouble when trouble is not needed, which is never. Taking a small conflict and making it bigger than it actually is makes the instigator look dumb in my mind. Why make anything larger or more influential than it actual is?
For example, my stepsister is an instigator. She loves to stir up trouble between my dad and I. Even though my dad and I do not get along well already, she decides to make the situation even more difficult on the both of us. It is stupid. She makes him make a bigger deal over something so small that it does not deserve to be an argument. For instance, she made him a card for Christmas, but my sister and I did not. Why? You may be thinking that I am a bad child, but if anyone has ever read my day in life post, I do not have time for anything. I am lucky enough that I have time for myself because usually on the weekends, I volunteer or doing my homework or doing this blog for you all. Now, I am not blaming you for this. I love blogging. It is just that arguing over not making a card is pretty stupid. And why should I give him a card? To be honest, he has not done anything for me, and I will not do anything for him. It is plain and simple. And, I have not made a card for my mother since I was 10. I am 15. Not 10. Remember that. If my dad wants one of my old portraits of Medusa or Andrew Jackson or Edward Scissorhands, he can grab one. I do not care.
Of course, I prevent myself from bringing up the topic in the first place because I know he will get mad. It is just his nature. I do not want to argue or make his blood pressure shoot threw the roof over something stupid. But, my stepsister thinks she is so sly, but she forgets that is my conflict. It is mine. I play the cards. She does not.
So, if you have a person in your life that causes trouble for you, remember that in the end, it is up to you of how much it can influence you. As much as anger is contagious, calmness is too. Promise.
Another topic I want to address is horror films. Is it me or not horror films are scary, but the fact that they are just disgusting? I am mean there is a difference between using blood and gore in order to portray a horrorifying act and using it too far. I mean there is a line.
I mean some horror films are unbearable to watch because of the suspense, the subject, etc. But if I am watching a film and wonder how much fake blood and fake flesh they have to use in order to portray the image, there is something wrong. Don't get me wrong, I like good horror films. But, most are just terribly portrayed and directed.
Last but not least volunteering. Today I worked at a carnival type fundraiser at a rich neighborhood in order to do some volunteer work. Let's just say, I had to man the Bounce House, and kids love to make scenes. It is so hard to get kids off the Bounce House and it was chaotic. But, it was a better job than my last one, since the adults actually cared about my well being (hair was pulled from my scalp). My other one was a festival and I was greeting people at the front door and telling them where everything is. I hated that job because one: the people are so rude, two: the people who were suppose to take over my shift came around an hour late, three: I was annoying myself because I had to sound "perky". Yeah.
My worst experience with a stranger either has to be at the DPS, elevator, or volunteer work. At the DPS, there are three types of people, nice people, creepy people, and intimidating people I hated the DPS. It was just a bad place. At my first visit, two old men were staring at my sister and I. It was to the point where we moved away from them, but they moved closer and we moved again next to this tatted up guy, thank god they stopped. Thank you, tatted up guy. It was scary. At my volunteer work, I was confronted by alot of nice people, but some of them were extremely rude. I do not want to go into more detail on that because it was pretty bad.
Yeah, this all happened to me. Ugh, what a long day. I have to go do some homework, so I will talk to you later.
Comment Question: What is your worse experience with a stranger?
