The power of one

After we graduated, most of my friends decided to stay close to home and attend a college that is only 45 minutes away from our house. I, obviously, came to New York City, which is only 5 hours away. Believe it or not, I actually went the furthest from home. Anyway, it's really hard to keep in contact with all of my friends, so I usually make phone calls to my best friends and just talk online with the others. As I'm sure most of you do, I always find myself constantly checking away message. To be honest, it is quite ridiculous the amount of times I get on AIM just to see what everyone is up to. Ok, I promise I am about to get to the point of this blog entry. I have one friend who, for the past two and a half weeks, has hadthe same away message up. It makes me feel bad because it's so depressing. But hey, she is a teenager and she is a girl, so of course her issue is with a guy, right? For all of you who are about to close this entry, my point gets better! For weeks now, she has been upset about this ONE guy..yes, this ONE guy...hmm, dwell on that for a minute...

I'm not sure how true this is, but there is probably like, what, 7 billion people on this earth? Yet, how silly. She has spent two weeks (which can also be called 14 days, 336 hours, etc) of her life worrying about this ONE person and from this, she is becoming despressed. Now, the point of this entry isn't to talk about teenage relationship issues, but something a little deeper than this: the power of one person. Now I just noted the amount of people on this earth, and it may be true that I don't know that many people, but that sure is a lot of people who dwell around us. Why is it that we tend to focus and choose to live our lives thinking about that one person? I don't want to get into a whole thing about love and why we choose to be with one person, because that is not what my intentions were at all. I just starting thinking about how much of an impact one person can have on our lives, whether good or bad. I often find myself getting upset over one person, but now that I think about it, why bother? If ONE out 7 billion people upset you, you are bound to find at least ONE other person who does not. In fact, I can almost guarantee you will find more than one person who will make you the happiest person on earth!
