Friendly Friends....?

I have been told by many people that you are not able to be 'just friends' with a male if you are female unless they're homosexual. I don't understand that statement. I have and have had male friends that I've been just friends with and for some of them it's been a sort of silent agreement. Others, it's been harder to let know that that was all that would happen in that relationship. Granted, I am a very friendly person which is misinterpreted as flirtaciousness most of the time. But all of my friends know this and anyone who meets me realises this very quickly. I have found that it is possible for one to be friends with a male, just not all males will allow that. Some males the agreement seems to have benefits that women don't want unless they're desperate. Good thing a lot of women seem to be desperate most of the time. Unfortunately, women are known as flimsy and easy or bossy and play hard to get. Women seem to be pretty predictable sometimes though I've noticed men can have their predictability as well though I have met one male that has confused me to no end. I'm not saying that all males and all females are able to be friends and be okay with just that. I am only stating the fact that a female can, in fact, be just friends with a male when given the right circumstances... Thank you and see you all on the other side...

An Ode To Robin Williams?

Dear friends, It was brought to my attention almost a week ago that Robin Williams died. I know at least some of you are tired of hearing about it, you can stop here if you'd like. For the rest, I must say a few things regarding this amazing person. He has made us laugh and cry through his movies and live performances. He has such a friendly look about him, his personality was one of a kind, beautiful and hilarious when he wanted to be. Being a hilarious person he also had his depression, of course. Unfortunately it sounds as if he might have taken his depression too far. I have known a few people to do that this year and it is a very heartbreaking thing to know. Some people don't understand this thing called depression or just don't care. A lot of people seem to just be very good at whining when there is no reason and at the worst times. And so I bring up my next order of business, those that decided to email Robin Williams' daughter and tell her that her father was a loser? How incredibly ignorant must you be for you to say that. Were you bored and you wanted a response? Nothing is exciting enough in your life so you must torture a poor soul that is already being tortured in other ways? How evil can you be to go and drive a dagger further into someones heart? What are you trying to achieve in trying to take someone lower than they already feel? How can you keep kicking at a heart that already feels dead? How inconsiderate, how immature and how terrible can you be? I am so disappointed in this thing called humanity that someone might stoop so low. Just know, if I do meet any that cowardly said such evil things, my fist is in your face immediately. Thank you and goodnight. Sincerely, Agape

Let It Go...

Why does it matter to some people what anyone's sexual orientation is? Why must we be in everyone's face about it? We should be past this, able to accept someone no matter what they decide and not feeling the need to know. We should let people be people no matter who they like. It's like some people can't live without trying to pressure people into telling a truth that doesn't have to be said, explained or made public at any certain time. We should be able to let someone tell us anything like that when they're ready, not when we decide they're ready. It's selfish to decide someone's ready to come out or state that they are straight at a certain point. Let those people just make that decision for themselves, let them ease into what their decision is and let everyone all be treated equally no matter the decision. Stop trying to influence a decision because you're wanting something out of it, it's not cute. It's not the right way to go about things. It's uncomfortable and stressful for everyone. Stop not caring about a person, assuming everything and either leave people alone or actually care. Which means leave people alone.

Why Does This Happen?

What about me keeps you near? Why do you think I'm okay? Your face is so close to mine, is that okay? Should I be allowing that? Oh, your arms are around me. When did I let this happen? Why did I let this happen? Should it continue? Are these feelings real? Why are you here? Are you here to hurt me like everyone else? Will I let you? For now, no. I don't think so. You have no real power over me. Why do I get jealous though? Why does anything you do have any affect on me? Does it truly matter? Should I keep taking these feelings you so generously give me? Why are emotions so bipolar sometimes? Why are people in general so bipolar sometimes? Maybe I should stop. Maybe you should stop. Maybe we should all stop all that we're doing to each other and think for a moment, because we are hurting each other. We hurt everyone so much that they aren't sure who to trust. I'm not sure who to trust. What about me keeps you near? Why do you think I'm safe?
