Running the Race

So I kind of took next to no time to write this therefore it’s kind of scattered around but here it is.

Today I realized how much the myspace and facebook top friends things annoy the crap out of me. Why do we seem to live in a world where everyone has a ranking system of some sort? Why am I ‘required’ to put people ahead or behind one another? I mean, I love all of my friends equally. I don’t love one more than the other. Now yeah of course there are certain people that I’m closer to than others, certain people that when something important happens, they pop into my head first, but that doesn’t mean that I love them more than anyone else. And it’s like that with everybody. Everybody has the certain people that they consider their ‘best’ friends. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I feel like if we all tried to be best friends with each other, we’d be exhausted. But I despise the idea of ranking people by how close we are. Because I get the people who are like ‘why am I not on your top friends?’ or ‘why am I #13 on your top friends?’ and I mean I definitely used to do that too but now I just see how silly it is. I know that my friends love me. I know how close I am with each individual person. So why rely on what a top friends thing says about the friendship? And why bother having one if people are going to look at it and possibly be hurt by it? I don’t know, maybe I’m just taking this too far but I really can’t stand the stupid top friends thing anymore. It’s stupid. If you know me, you know that I love you. You already know what kind of relationship we have. Nothing is going to stop me from loving. So now that I’m done rambling, I took the stupid top friends thing off my myspace. I mean, God doesn’t love one person more than the other, and neither do I. And if top friends is giving the impression that I am doing so, then I want nothing to do with it.
