In saying that...

I really do think that people are good.

No, I don't hate the world and think that all Christians are fake and evil. I love Christianity -- the concept. I love God. I love that He loves endlessly. I just get disappointed, that's all. I get sad when people don't live up to their potential. I said that to someone one time and she said, "well that's a terrible thing to say. Who are you to say what someone's potential is? You're being judgemental."

Okay. If you say so.

But I'm really not.

I'm just saying that you KNOW that some people can do more. You know that when someone says they love God but when they have an opportunity to talk about Him they cower away that they missed a shot. Or I guess that they have already reached their potential and it doesn't include witnessing. Right...

So I just wish people were more real. Less scared.

I was talking to my lovely cousin Rebecca tonight and I told her I'm going to make an honest effort to be more like I want other people to be. We'll all fall short...I know I will. But I'm gonna try. Isn't that the first step? I am going to start by being more hoenst with people. I don't mean that I am a pathological liar...I really can't stand when people lie. But I'm not going to dress stuff up to make people happy anymore. I'm gonna be more open...say what I feel. Not that I want people to be hurt by what I say but that I all too often leave a conversation upset because I didn't say all I needed or wanted to. I don't wanna do that anymore. I want to get my two cents in. I want to be understood. If that's not cool for you, well, maybe you won't wanna talk to me? Haha I don't know.

I'm just saying.

In the silence,

David.
