Being Different #2- Friendship

Hello there!

Being Different #1

Welcome back to Being Different! Today’s post is gonna be about how different I am in homeschooling. Well, I meant among my friends.

Recently, my circle of friends became bigger. So now, it has suddenly become a trend among us to be a little mean in a joking way and sarcastic to certain people. At first, it was fun, but later on, it started to feel very mean and boring.

So I stopped being mean. Well, I tried. I mean, (no pun intended) we should be Christ-like examples for others right? And I have quite a few non-Christian friends. The perfect time to set a good example.

Too much of a good thing ain’t good. And that is the same with sarcasm. Sarcasm can be fun to do, but too much of it is tiring. Then I tried using less sarcasm.

But habits die hard, ya know?

So I prayed. I prayed for God to help me become nicer. I think it worked. But mainly I had to have self control. That was a little hard, but I managed.

Now, I hope I’m a nicer person 🙂

That was short, but I hope it sends the message across the screen. Fitting in by doing some not-so-nice things are not good. But if you fit in by doing the right thing, then that’s good.

Do you try to fit in? How different are you from the rest?
