Want vs. Need

Everyone wants something. Everyone needs somethings. Believe it or not, there is a difference between the two. Many people want candy or new clothes or something, but some people actually need clothes and food. Some people think that if they don't have that new iPod immediately, all their friends will make fun of them and they will just die of embarrassment. Well how about if instead of going and using that money to buy an unnecessary item when you have a perfectly good iPod still working, send that money to a homeless shelter or to a food bank or maybe to the Red Cross for help down in the south. The people down south really do need your help and money. Yes you need money too, but if you're going to spend it on something you don't need when you already have one, do you really need your money then, especially if you're willing to just throw it away?There really is a difference between want and need. If I haven't made it clear then take a walk down in some under privileged neighborhoods, go to the Soup Kitchen, go anywhere where there isn't a lot of money coming in, and think, your money could help them. So please, think before you buy something you think you need  but in actuality want.

Dead Tree

There is a tree in my backyard that has no few breaches and no leaves even tho we are very close to summer. This tree reminds me a lot of myself. It is right in the middle of all the other trees, but if you were to look into my backyard you would most likely see every other tree and then this one, or you would pass over it not even bothering to think about it. I feel like that tree. I may have friends but the kinds that I am the fall girl, or the best friend never the girlfriend, or even the freak friend that it's amazing that I might be friends with people or that I even have friends. I am the girl that if you were to line my friends and I up and guys had to pick one girl to date, I would never be picked. And on the off chance that I would be, it would be a joke. It's sad how many girls there are that are like me. In every group there is one, whether you know it or not. So look at your group of friends, and think, which one is this girl. I have a name for myself. I am the IGNON or "Invisible Girl No One Notices". So think, are you the IGNON, or is one of your friends being neglected by you? This world needs to see past the celebrities and pretty girl faces and see the ones that no one ever bothers to notice.
