Back in senior year of high school, we had to share the gym with a freshman class. There was one freshman in particular that caught my attention. Let’s just say I didn’t like him very much
He would be the guy on the treadmill running at the highest speed for 10 seconds and stop, acting tough by jumping up on the pull up bar and just struggle to do one. I really didn’t like his guts. You know how I don’t like show offs. I despise them with a PASSION.
One day the two gym teachers decided to have a dodge ball match between the seniors and the freshmen. I was so pumped up, so was that freshman. He would get down and do ONE SINGLE push up, get back up, and talked a little smack.
When we actually played the game, I was really surprised. Some of those freshmen really knew how to throw the ball! It was a close game, but we turned out to be the victor.
In my class there were this bunch of “chiggas” (a combination of “Chinese” and “Nigga”) who apparently didn’t like that cocky freshman either. At one point in the game, one of the chiggas got frustrated and tried to jump that freshman.
After the game the senior class got lectured by the two gym teachers. A couple days later that freshman was jumped by several chiggas and they were suspended.
*Sigh, the stupid things people do just to act tough.

i love you...
…but I really don’t mean it
I feel really uneasy when I hear people say the word “love.” I was at a social gathering a couple weeks ago and I’m listening to two people talking to each other. At one point one person cracks a joke and the other laughs and says “ha ha ha, oh you’re so funny. I love you!”
Wtf
It just bothers me that you KNOW that the person doesn’t really mean it. Sometimes it just frustrates me when I over hear people say “aw, you know I love you” in a cute, apologetic tone. If you really “love” that person, you would’ve taken steps so that you won’t be in a position where you have to apologize in the first place so stfu and don’t use the word “love.”
Do I use the word love? Yea, I say things like “I love food” or “I love working out” because I really do. But I rarely say the words “I love you” to someone. The only time I remember using the word “love” a lot was when I was with my ex. Other than that, I rarely used the word at all.
I think it’s a cultural thing. I never hear my parents use the word “love” to each other. No one in my family uses it because we don’t HAVE TO. We speak through our actions.
I just don’t understand why Americans feel the need to use the word “love” all over the place. That specific instance pisses me off. How the heck do you automatically love someone just because you love their jokes? You don’t so DON’T USE IT.
Sacrificing and being there for others when they’re in need, without expecting anything in return, is love.
