Eye-Opener

You know those people that constantly criticize and girl bash when it's totally unnecessary...like "ew what is she wearing, she looks like a retard". Well today I went out with my "best friends" from high school and basically for the first time, I realized that this is what they do. They talk crap about innocent bi-standers and look for easy prey to rip apart. Why? I don't know...because it's easy to take cheap shots at people? Because it's become such a part of their vocabulary they don't even realize? Because it's fun?
What's most daunting to me is the fact that these girl used to be my bff's. We were inseperable right up until this last year when we went our seperate ways for college, and I am ashamed if I was anything like how I observed them to be today. If anything, today was an eye-opener; to show me that I have changed, and that I'm better off without people like that in my life. I don't want to be a superficial brat that takes punches at complete strangers. I don't want to be grumpy or swear like a truck driver and basically walk around with a critical spirit.
I'm that much more grateful to God that he's worked in my life this year at school and has provided me with a new group of friends that are full of life, sweet and conscious about how they treat others.
Man looks on the outside, but God looks at the heart. This is something I'm working on.
