davanti thoughts...

i hate how some people are only nice to you when it benefits them the most.

i despise how they feel as though they have every right to snob you 83% of the time, but when they can get something out of that other 17% - oh they take it alright! suddenly they're your best friend and it hurts their feelings if you don't acknowledge and appreciate the way they're reaching out to you... in turn, you're the bad guy.

i am really not a huge fan of these types of people... and yet i'm sure i've been that person to someone somewhere out there, without ever realizing it.

also. i hate the feeling of being taken advantage of. that's not a cool feeling. i've been feeling that way lately by a few authoritative figures and it seems as though i don't have a voice to speak up and set things straight. how can someone rob you of your voice simply by being in the position they're in?

hitler must have created that scenario - sounds like something hitler would do.

i love you!! do you know how much i miss you? probably not. come visit us so so so soon. i might have a place for you to stay...

i am so glad you have a blog now. it will be a great way to express yourself (and your thoughts are beautiful) and keep in touch with your world traveling favorites. i hope the other favorite is taking good care of you. he better be, if not, he has no idea what he will be in for when these seƱoritas come home...

im going to go email you now becuase i miss you so much. love you, milady.

i agree with cait on the blog thing - i'm glad i can read about your thoughts, your struggles, and thoughts and teachings from the Lord. and yes, i hate the two-faced thing but maybe just kill them with kindness and bite your tongue -- slow to anger, slow to speak (james).

it´s so hard for me to give any sort of advise or thoughts on this situation since i was in the exact same predicament for two years. it sucks and they suck. the end. i´m sorry that it´s the truth and that i don´t have a more godly, loving response than that. i think michelle is right, but at the same time, i have litterally walked in your shoes in the situation and it sometimes feels as if there is no end... know that God is bigger than any situation and any ridiculously prideful hairdresser or owner. OH i have a scripture that katie gave me the other day. i can´t remember where it is. i´ll have to send it to you later. it´s great for this situation too... i´ll send it later. for sure. but i love you and don´t let them steal your zeal for Christ. love the crap out of them. your endurance just might be the thing they need to see. i love you so mightily! oh man... yeah. i love you. can´t wait to hang out with you!!!!! YES!!! :) we´re planning your whole trip. haha
peace!
