All it takes is a note...

I've been reading through notes for the past few minutes, because I have nothing better to do. And I've realized, it takes a simple note to tell others how you feel, it takes a little note to make bad things worse, it takes a note to do more harm than help.

It seems as thought everyone is going through some kind of heart ache. Whether its the loss of a friend, and boyfriend, or even a relationship problem. Lets face it...DRAMA HAPPENS. Its up to us to be mature about it, and live through it, taking the opportunity to solve the problem to learn a life lesson. A real friend will always love you, no matter what words are exchanged, or what facts are misunderstood. True friends are willing to work things out, as opposed to arguing and turning their backs on each other forever. I takes a note to get things started. Just a single note saying "You are important to me. I need you."

Relationship problems are common amongst teens. I've come to learn that although there are obstacles, that if its meant to be, together you shall remain. But if it doesn't work out, look at it this way: Everyone comes in and out of your life for a reason; some are meant to stay, while others weren't. God has a plan for you. And if he makes a decision to take someone dear to you out of your life, thank him, for this person was most likely causing you to cry yourself to sleep regularly anyway. But this can be avoided. It takes a simple note to say "I love you. You are my everything. I want to work things out".

Some people are just generally lost in life. Not knowing which way to go. Unsure of whom to trust and who to disregard. What is real, and what is artificial. They are currently say, for reasons in which are unknown to them. There's so much on their mind, and they don't know where to start. They sit, crying, without knowing who actually cares. They begin to write a note. A note that begins as meaningless chatter, but ends in a new beginning. A beginning in which they begin to realize the source of their problems. A beginning in which that one comment, from that single person that cares, can immediately start to make a change.

Notes are indeed powerful. But why do we write notes? Its universally understood that things are more official and professional in writing, but when it comes to feelings, must we preeminantly think of professionalism? By writing notes, we are indirectly telling those we care about how we feel. Its okay to vent. But I feel as though we are taking it too far. I feel as though we (yes, WE) are using facebook to hide from our problems. When will it stop?
