Personal Narrative: Why People In Their Own Little Bubble

Improved Essays
I think sometimes people get so consumed in their own little bubble that we find every way to claim that certain people are not there for us like we think they should be. The real question we need to ask ourselves is, when was the last time you took the time to tell those you love the most how much they mean to you? Whether it is a simple text, phone call, or snapchat you need to put forth the effort to value your friendships. The worst that can happen is they don 't respond!

It is so easy to assume that you expected them to come up and talk to you at church last week or to invite you to a gathering at their house.The expectations we have for friendships sometimes are almost as unrealistic as expecting to have a love like a Nicholas Sparks movie.

Although I was never alone I always had people who were there for me it was just hard to expect some of them to be there for me when I was not willing to be there for them. I was great at making time to help out those I barely knew because I enjoy helping others ' and making time for late nights for schoolwork. I just wish I would 've taken more time to reach out to the ones I love just to have a simple lunch date or movie night.I know those few times that I did make the time it helped clear my head and also I hope it made them realize how much they mean to me. No matter how limited with time you are, you 're only hindering yourself if you do not make time to constantly have close friendships overflowing with love. What I mean by overflowing with love is just to simply put your bestest friends as a huge priority in your life because it is easy to tell the effects of it. Friendship is one of the greatest things you will ever have in your life and the memories you make with them will last a

    After watching some gameplay videos for the new ps4 game Until Dawn, I was reminded of a strange term I had once heard, the butterfly effect. Upon seeing this, I decided to do some research to find out more about it. The Chaos theory more commonly called the butterfly effect summarized by Edward Lorenz is a branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behaviour is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences. With this, I thought a many life decisions that I had made, both large and small and thought of how they affected my life and how different my life would be if I had chosen to take another path. I am a Christian and with further thought, came to…

    I was being driven to church on Sundays and youth group on Wednesdays for the first decade and a half of my life but it was only a routine, nothing more. This routine has been instilled in me since I first saw the light of day seventeen years ago yet I’ve never left my metaphorical bubble. I had grown up protected and shielded from the outside world and both the horrors and wonders it holds. When I transitioned out of Mennonite middle school, I was thrown into the deep end at a school where I knew no one and I couldn’t rely on Bible class to support my values. In all honesty, I lost my way.…

    Will Smith, an American actor, once stated, “If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success.” This quote is important because it has great meaning. It simply conveys that hard times will reveal your true friends. In other words, those who are not there for you when you need them most are not your true friends. These are the people you hang out with due to a common interest, or because you see them five days a week.…

    The norm may not always be the right way to go. I no longer want to be a part of a popular or important group of people, if I feel that what the group is doing or believes in is wrong, even if it means I'm not a part of the norm. I am not afraid to stand out on my own. I have challenged this belief for many years. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied by a group of girls that I hung with, looked up to and idolized.…
