Mother coming to church!!!

Yes you guys, my mom decided to come to church with me!!!! Isn’t that AWESOME!! She actually decided to go to the methodist church that I have been going to…the coolest part is I think todays service REALLY touched her. During one of the songs a member of the church was singing, she started crying. I held her hand to let her know that it was okay. It was really cool. We stayed there from 8:15 to 11:30…I think….
O and guess what else? I’m gonna get baptized soon! I’ve never been baptized before in my life so that’s pretty big for me. Tomorrow, I am going to a meeting with my pastor so he can discuss with me when I am gonna be baptized and all that. Which reminds me, I have like 4 pamphlet books he gave me that I need to look over so I can better understand what I am getting myself into….so I have to do that in a little bit…

Well, I am dealing with something REALLY big right now. Last night, I told a friend of mine that I was sorry that I fought with her. You see, the night before, I was trying to tell her that that she didn’t need to do drugs because she wanted to try them. Well, at first I was like “Well don’t do it because even trying them once can get you hooked on them”…I was trying to be there for her at first because I didn’t want that to BE her. I didn’t want her to go downhill like that. I was trying not to show her that I was hurt she was gonna try it. But she kept telling me “Oh, I’m not gonna get hooked” or “It’s only ONCE”…and over and over I kept telling her “You will because drugs can control a person”…and she said “Do you REALLY think that my mind isn’t strong enough to actually get into them”…I tried to remain calm the who time though I was already getting frustrated because it was like talking to a wall. I kept teeling her that if she trusted me that she would listen…she told me that she did and that she WAS listening to me….but she was as “curious as a cat” so she was just gonna do it once. Now I’m thinking to myself”Ok, if you were listening to me…you would’ve took my advice”…but she didn’t. Then I was starting to get mad because I was telling her the same things over and over again and she kept giving me the same answers. Though I don’t think I was “over reacting” because though I was mad…I was trying to stay calm that whole entire time. She told me that I needed to calm down and that I needed to “breath”. Okay…that right there got to me. Because here I was trying to be what a “friend” is suppose to do and trying to convince her that I didn’t like it and that she didn’t need to do it because the thought of her over dosing on drugs in the future hurt me so bad. So out of frustration, I said “How bout this….you don’t do drugs, actually listening to me (while you can be mad at me all you want)…or you can do them and just forget about talking to me anymore.” Now that I look back, I hated that I said that. I began yelling at her and I told her “I’m sorry if this would get you mad, but right now you are acting really stupid in what you are telling me……and you aren’t stupid” Twisting my words, she says “How am I stupid?!” I told her “You yourself are NOT stupid, but what you are telling me is”…….I wasn’t really being supportive anymore…..I was now more like this war that should have never happened. I got so frustrated by everything she was telling me that I just wasn’t thinking anymore….
Well, I thought about all I said to her yesterday and I regetted yelling at her the way that I did. I was really upset that I was starting to cry because I didn’t want to be those people that tried to control other people’s lives (because that’s not me at all…….I needed to be there for her, not yell at her. I wanted her to listen to me and not just hear me. I wanted her to understand that if I was REALLY the friend she wanted, that I just wouldn’t say “okay” to something I know could kill her or take away some of the beautiful things that I knew about her….because she has a wonderful heart and drugs can make you a very angry person….she was going through enough already and she doesn’t need anymore problems on her…
Well, anyway…..I told her I was very sorry for how we got in a fight and I didn’t mean to make her feel bad if I did…..
The rudest thing that came out of her mouth was “I’m not gonna argue there”…so that kinda hurt me but I tthough “Okay, I deserved that”….and I told her that I was very sorry. And she started to say things that were kinda hurtful towards me…like why I didn’t consider her as my best friend because I made an entry with a quiz on it that said that Sara was my best friend….
…It’s not that I don’t (because I do)….it’s just that I have never met her in person and there are probobly somethings that I don’t know about her. We are online friends and we only see eachother “online”…..I mean, I would LOVE to have her as one of my best friends…I really would. But I still have alot more to learn about her. I am still getting to know her…at least I was…..

I told her that I needed to leave (because she was telling me things that was basically throwing in my face that I was selfish and inconsiderate to HER feelings…when I just told her that I was extremely sorry that I said things that weren’t appropriate for our conversation the night before…I don’t know….she laft saying “…it’s not worth living anymore” and I was so upset that I thought she was going to commit suicide because of me….

Well, today I went to her diary and clicked on her latest entry(which I was SO gratful to see)…..but I was so upset when I read it….
She was basically ignoring what I said to her last night and saying stuff that was basically putting me down on how I treated her and how I made her “inferior”. She was also saying things that made me look like I was just thinking of myself and not how I treated her…..
….I was so sad when I read that because she ignored that I apologized to her. It was really unfair….she was still letting what I said get to her……she wasn’t moving on from a stupid argument that we had. I already told her that I was sorry. If she still felt that I was making her feel worthless (which was NEVER what I was trying to do)…than I don’t know what to say. I don’t think there IS anything I can say to her anymore that would make her feel better…
I tried to understand her so I can help her…and I apologized when my human mistakes got the best of me……..and yet she doesn’t see that I do care and that I would never mean to hurt her feelings….

….I’ll be honest with you all….I have soooo much weight that I have to carry right now. I really don’t want more of it. I am trying to let go of all the bad things that have happened to me when I was abused…….I don’t wanna feel like this. I was so depressed last night when she left. I DON’T NEED THAT!!!!!! I am not EVER gonna complain that I am unhappy EVER AGAIN! I probobly will from time to time say that I am not having a great day, but I am now gonna start writing entries to where people would start talking to me a

gain………because me acting like the world just ending is just pushing them away. Have you guys noticed that I don’t get very much notes anymore? I want to be able to make people’s day and make them feel like that they can talk to me WHENEVER they want. I tried to help my friend that just decided that I wasn’t her friend anymore…….I don’t know what to do about that. If she feels that she can’t trust me anymore….then I pray that she will have the best life or that it will get better. I’m still opened totalk to her on open diary anytime she feels like talking to me again……

Well, I’m gonna go. I hope you all have a great day and a great tomorrow. I’m sorry about this entry for anyone that may not agree with what I was talking about. I love you all! ^_^ Take care and God bless you guys always!

In Loving Spirits,
~Amber~

So, are you basically trying to tell me that you don’t want to talk to me anymore? Cause as far as I can remember…I don’t think I ever said I didn’t want to talk to you again. Did I? ::thinks:: No..I don’t recall it. ya know, you were RIGHT about the whole thing, Amber. I SAID THAT. DIdn’t you see THAT part? when I admitted that you were RIGHT? that I was gonna LISTEN to you??? You’re telling..

everyone that reads this thing, that I totally dissed the hell out of you and acted like I wasn’t listening to anything you said. and THEN telling them that I was pretty much being a worthless bitch to you after you apologized to me, which is also not true. If I were NOT listening to you, I’d be high RIGHT now. I would be taking some drugs RIGHT NOW. And, i DEFINITELY would NOT be writing THIS…

RIGHT now. Would I Be? No. So, before you throw a good frienship away…why dont you take a step back for just ONE minute and look at it ALLLLLL amber?! I am on the VERGE of having a huge f*ing breakdown. I am NOT in a good position to be hearing things that sound like something my mother would say..seeing as how she has BETRAYED ME. Ya know? And, ON top of which…You have completely ignored…

the fact that at ONE point in time..you told me that I was the only friend, you felt that you had…and I knew I had an obligation as a FRIEND to you, to STAY and help YOU through anything YOU were going through. ANYTHING. and, since then..You have written an entry about your best friend being Sara..and saying absolutely shi+ about be. NOthing at ALL. Now, come on…you KNOW that would hurt…

you too. Never the less…I never said i didn’t want to be friends with you, and that is pissing me off. ANd I was never rude with you I was Honest. THAT is what a friend IS. JUST like you were the other night. HONEST about how you felt about me doing the drug I was gonna do. and I RESPECTED IT. cause I didn’t just ignore you and do it anyway. damn. This is NOT gonna end like THIS. You and i..

BOTH know we’ve been there through too much of the rock bottom times. Think about it, Amber. Who hyped you up enough to tell Carl about how you really felt? Me. Who talked to you ALL those times about being abused and Killing scott? Me. Who was acting up and playing around with you when YOU were down in the gutter, just to cheer you up?ME. AMBER. MEEEE. Dont you get it? there is TOO much…

behind US to let something THIS gay…get both of us torn apart. I do love you whether you know it or not.

hey Amber,thanx for your note.sorry i havent noted a lot recently,you sound like you could really use a few friends right now.im sorry youve had a rough time recently,hope youre keeping your faith,its good your mum went to church my mum goes every week,not me tho,but lol i think it makes my mum stronger…tbc

…i guess im not feeling toooo bad but im living hours from home with people i dont know and i dont have any money and i will admit that i have been in the wrong crowd a bit and a few people have said things to me that they wouldnt have said if they knew me…and it just feels quite weird…(tbc)

…im really glad to have this OD where i can just vent.like one girl in my flat who is a good three inches taller than me asked how much i weighed and when i told her she said “how can you weigh less than me?” and i shrugged saying how she was taller,she shouldnt be upset, she was skinny etc, and she said “i know, thats what i mean, im alot skinnier than you. how can i weigh more?”…tbc

…if she had known how i am about that sorta thing i wouldnt have imagined she would say it. then she saw the scars on my arm and in front of everyone she went “omg whats that on your arm” like she couldnt tell. sigh, im sorry for taking up your time.i hope you sort out all your friend problems…and you kick the ass of anyone that gets moody with you.much love hattie-louise x

that’s AWESOME about your mom amber! =) that’s kind of a tough situation with your friend. you can’t really make her not do someothing you don’t want her to do. but i agree that if she really valued what you thought she would have thought twice about even trying it once. let me know how things are goin, yeah? God bless,

That is so AWESOME! I just got babtized last year..it was the most amazinf thing. I also got babtized into the MEthodist church..i just wish MY MOM would come to church sometime. You are amazing and i’m glad this is happening to you! AMEN SISTER !lol ttyl jaq

srry..i only read the first half. I’m not happy that you are having a rough time with your friend. It is true that you can’t control her..but if she was true she would listen. well you can write me a note anytime! so you have aim or msn? jaq

i don’t think you were in the wrong for sticking to the fact that you didn’t want ehr to try drugs. i never have and i don’t want to i mean it’s just not the thing for me i like to be in control of my body. also i don’t think you have anything to be sorry about, you were just trying to look out for her best intrests by not giving in and saying “suire go ahead” but still try and patch things up…

…with her. it seems like she truely is your best friend but ask yourself if she tries the drugs and becomes hooked can she still be your friend? and be honest, i know it’s hard but be strong.

That is amazing about your mother! God works great miracles in His own time. I’m happy for you both. But about your friend. First of all, just because she doesnt do what you say doesnt mean she wasnt listening. When you listen, you take in the other persons advice along with your own thinking and think it through with the consideration of what was said. She could still listen and choose her own..

opinion. Secondly,you have to know and understand that you can not make up her mind for her. You can preach and lecture her till you are blue in the face and its still her decision in the end. Knowing that,you cant allow yourself to get so upset about it. You dont have to agree with what shes doing but you need to continue to be there for her. I hope things work out. In Christs love and mine.Amber
