wow

at times like these, I have to love Rascal Flatts

so to start at the beginning, I was reading Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle

boy did it pinch a nerve

my mom says that the books are terrible, cuz the friends are always out to destroy each other

but this one made me see that they are terrible

I used to have friends like that. not mentioning any names, she is not my friend (though I love to do nice things for her) and the others have changed. plus I have the best friends in the entire universe! they really care and only try to build me up. wow. and it seems that almost anyone is nice to me. people who hate like everyone love me. I'm not sure why. and if someone does hate me, no one believes me they're like 'no one can hate you Quincy'

but anywho, in the book, the girl's younger sister is a freshman and it's a mess

I try to be a great sister, but Idk

I'm worried about mine. I want to protect her from everything and always be there

but that's unrealistic

she's growing up and she should. and we both have to have our separate lives

I know sometimes I push her away cuz we're all human and need space

but I don't wanna do that. I wanna be a good sister.

and I'm sorry that I call you fake and tease you. but you're my younger sister and Idk

the fake thing is wrong though

that's another thing. the girl seemed to have rules to keep people from being fake and everyone hated it. well, I think people should be happy with who they are. but if you wanna straighten your hair (which is so pretty curly) that's fine. I don't wanna have rules. I didn't see that I did.

the other thing in the book is religion. well, I don't like to talk about it cuz I think it's private. but

I'll leave you with 3 points that I love

in the song counting blue cars, they say 'tell me all your thoughts on God, cuz I'm on my way to meet her' that is cool. I think we forget that God is God

in Bridge to Terrabithia, Leslie loves the idea of God after going to Church for the first time. she thinks that He's too busy to condemn people because He's taking care of creation

the best one is the Rascal Flatts song 'He Ain't the Leavin' Kind'

you, my friend, will have to listen for yourself to find out why I like it.

okay, I'm not done. I think that Christians and everyone should just realize that we believe what we believe. no one knows who's right or wrong, and I doubt that it'll matter in Heaven. if you just live a good life and try to love everyone, I think you'll be alright. I don't think God is going to care about petty stuff. and if he doesn't exist, well, we made the world a better place.
