I really feel like I’ve been ranting too much on tumblr recently…

But this is somewhat normal for me. I told you guys at the beginning of my posts that it was mainly going to be rants and such. Yeah. Anyways, time to start.

So today’s Valentine’s Day, or Singles Awareness Day, as you guys all know. So, my girlfriend and I, who almost spend no time together outside of school because of stupid stuff, went through the whole day trying to spend as much time as we can. Obviously, that’s normal. Track comes along, long distance goes and does a hill workout, while short distance stays and does their thing. I try to get back as quickly as I can (note: I left Lynbrook at 3:35, I came back at 4:45, where I ran 16 minutes to the place, 24 minutes for the workout, and 14:30 back…) to try and hang out with her, because her older brother probably would’ve gotten mad at her for staying too long. This far is normal. Because I’m an overachiever and a loser that does track.

Okay, afterwards, she’s holding hands with her best friends, and this girl, who’s quite friendly with said girlfriend, holds hands with her. K great. Cockblocked. Whee. Last time something (a little worse than this) happened, and she knew I had gotten sorta..mad at the girl. And today was Valentine’s day too. So she proceed to hug me with both girls in hand. One of the girls complain that she doesn’t want to be contaminated by me. I tell her to let go of her hand then. She proceeds on getting the idea to smack me. The hell. Really? She didn’t, but that’s not the point. She also KNEW that I had gotten mad at her before, when the other situation occurred, but decides to cockblock me anyways. Great. Not only that, that girl promised me that she would not cockblock me under certain circumstances, which is unsaved >__>

Cool. So we go to the trainer, and we all (her friends, one of my guy friends) stay there to wait for the trainer. I’m hugging her to keep her warm, because she’s cold. The girl then proceeds to stick her hands between us, causing her to scream. ………….K. Cool. Her excuse is “My hands were cold”. Once again, there were other friends (who are also friends with her) that she could’ve cuddled with for warmth. Yet chose not to and to interfere.

Sure, after reading this, the girl would come talk to me, and probably talk to my girlfriend about how I’m being too “needy” or something. But sure. You know, it obviously wasn’t Valentine’s Day, and I obviously spend too much time with her (/sarcasm).

You know it may seem like you’re not doing anything wrong, because she’s your friend, but you really do need to realize that it’s bothering me, and I wish for you to stop doing it, especially on days it matters.

People have different passions. Some people like to put more time into other things. Sometimes it’s a waste of energy. Sometimes it actually works out for the better. For instance, most people at Lynbrook would agree they put a majority of their time studying, as it leads them to a good college and possibly lead to a good living. For me, I put a lot of my time running. It makes me sad to see the people around me, especially the distance runners that I have seen that have been working so hard just throw it away. It’s getting worse, and they’re getting lazier and lazier by the year. Well, “lazier” might not be a good word, but their passion is changing. Their dedication to the sport is deteriorating. Although they have been good training partners in the past, they are now skipping practice, and trying to get away with the least amount of energy possible.

Or so it seems.

We all had a common goal - To make Arcadia, and to go to these big invitationals. Now I’m debating whether or not it’s worth it. Although some people have the passion to go, some people don’t. Is it really necessary for me to try as hard as I am right now, just so other people can get on the ride for free? Yeah, they have more talent than me. Yeah, they can help us qualify. But I can see other people replacing them as well if they don’t start working harder. There’s more competition every year, and I’m seeing that if some of us don’t start working harder, they’re going to get replaced. Yeah, some people say that “people are irreplaceable - they’re individual, and they’re not parts of a machine,” but this is similar to the real world - they’re going to exchange you for the better, no matter who you are. If you’re not better than someone, or show that you are, you’re going to get replaced.

If you don’t want to try, don’t complain about your times when racing starts.
