"They're starving back in China, so finish what you got..."-JLennon

So apparently i'm a terrible blogger.

Well.....sorta.

I've had a few people tell me that they actually really enjoy my blog and that i should update it more often. Thanks so much folks! I sincerely thought no one read this thing....So i'm going to try and update this a lot more.

There was this one girl (that will go unnamed) in my high school that i will never look at the same for a particular reason. I'm not the type of girl to hate people or hold grudges, but i think it's only natural for human beings to have different beliefs and different approaches in how they express them. In this case, this girl and i are 2 completely different people.
This girl is hilarious to be around (some of the time) but sometimes i take her humour offensively.

I will share a story with you all that i will never forget. 

Have you ever been hungry? Hungry......

to have a certain passion in your life? 

or, to own the latest gadget?

or, are you craving that McDonalds Big Mac?

or, how about that morning coffee?

...

I try and tell myself that this world is all good, but honestly, we are all extremely selfish.

And i hate to say it but it's the truth. And i think our biggest mistake in this is not recognizing that we are all selfish because we live in this way, everyday. 

And if you can't help being selfish, just be very grateful for what you have.

I'm selfish too. We all are. But i believe that some are more selfish than others.

        The story i am telling you is of an extremely selfish girl and when i had this encounter with her, it was a moment i will never forget because i literally wanted to SMACK her. Not necessarily physically. But SMACK her with reality. 

I was in a high school class and my teacher called all of us to gather around. It was going to be one of those intimate moments. We had a lot of them. That's why this class was extra special. I don't quite remember if my teacher went somewhere or saw something but she was talking about poverty. And how incredibly unfortunate it was. And how lucky we are to be in school and have food at our fingertips. Half of us had tears in our eyes, including my teacher because we all understood her. All except, this one girl. (Now here comes the good part...)

In the middle of her intense story, this girl (sitting on the floor with her legs stretched out in front of her and leaning on her hands) swung her head back and said:

"UGHH!!!!! I'M STARVING!!"

I will never forget my reaction. I literally turned my head so slowly to look at her and didn't even know how to manoeuver my facial muscles into the appropriate facial expression. How can you mesh: anger, shock and pity into one facial expression. Oh, how i pity her stupidity. My heart started beating so fast because i literally wanted to SMACK her with a slab of reality. Could someone actually be that DISGUSTINGLY selfish and not even have the decency to get their head around anyone else but themselves and their own needs?

I have fasted for 24 hours before.

Which gave me 1/50 of what poverty really tastes like.

If i could go back to that moment, i would have spit in her face and told her that that would be her lunch. Because for some people in the world, that's all they get to digest....their own saliva.

So here is your SMACK of reality. For all. We are all spoiled:
