Ever get the feeling that you are talking to a wall? Like everything your saying is going through a persons ear and out the other? Like anything and everything you say is just dust in the wind? Yeah, I figured.
Okay so I own a horse. Horses are quite expensive, and I know because I never hear the end of it. My parents always tell me how expensive she is and how lucky♣ I am. I really want to compete but horse shows are hundreds of dollars each and well that's a lot. It's just that is my life really. It is one of the only things important to me, it's my future. They just keep telling me "not everyone gets what they want" and that I have a lot more than other people have. Yeah I know, I get it and I thank them and appreciate it greatly, but the thing that bugs me is that they don't take the time to listen to me. I know this may sound selfish but there are a lot of people who have a lot more than I do too, and some of them I feel do not deserve it. It just seems that everything I say to them is a speck of dust it has no meaning.
Okay, okay I admit sometimes I don't listen to some of the things they say, and not everything I say is left unheard. It just seems like too often things I'm saying just aren't being appreciated. I understand I'm lucky and not everyone owns a horse.(duh) I get it, I'm not dumb. Seriously, how many times do they think it takes for me to know what their saying. I should be the one telling them things repeatedly.
This seems extremely common in society. In schools, on the news! All over, I mean come on people are we that selfish. Can't we just listen to people. Our news is so biased it's sick. Why can't they just tell people both sides of the story, let them decide for themselves what they think is right. In schools most teachers don't even let the students speak. Why is it so wrong if we have opinions too?

I know what you mean. I hate it when people do that. I mean, I don't want to seem ungrateful, but sometimes it's like just give it a rest, you know. Good post
Wow, that's really cool that you own a horse!! (even though I knew that)
I know the feeling of talking to a wall, and I agree that it doesn't feel good.
By the way, I love the format of your blog. It's really pretty!!!

One of the things my parents used to say to me when I was very young is that I should finish up everything on my plate because there are children who have nothing to eat. I couldn't quite understand that logic, and I would slyly answer back, "maybe you should send those children some of our food then." At a young age, they never explained to me how it is possible that I could have too much to eat while other children were starving. Interestingly, when I became a bit older (around 13) I began to sneak out some of mom's food in paper plates and give them out to homeless people. Somehow, I "got it" then, and when my mom found out, I was told to "knock it off."
