Bell's Book
The subtraction of random thoughts.
The Truth about Nothing
HOMG Bell is updating her journal!! Didn’t think that, that would ever happen did you!? Well it did!! Be warned, this is all from Bell’s messed up brain!!

A lot of things have happened to me lately to make me want to rethink some things. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people here on Gaia, of whom I consider to be some of my closest friends. The thing I was thinking was, do you really know if the people you talk with on a daily basis are really who you think they are? I’ve always been honest with my dealings with everyone, I never told them lies, or mislead them in any manner. But are the people talking with me as honest? It’s interesting to see how some Gaians who are richer seem to have more lackeys, per say, that hang out with them. How if one of those rich Gaians turn against someone who is a bit weaker, everyone who wants to be on the good side of that rich person will turn against the weakling. I’ve been with friends before; gone to a thread to where all of them were so nice and I believed to of found a place that I could call home, but then one little incident can turn everything upside down. The people of whom I thought were my friends all turned against me and said many horrible things, of which I would never want to wish upon another human being. I can remember sitting there reading all the horrible things said to me and can admit that I cried. All these people were saying such horrible things to the point of where I sat there; baffled as to what I had done wrong to have them turn against me, crying. I truly thought they were my friends and they turned against me like a pack of wolves. In truth It was all because the other person had more items then me, so those who I thought were my friends turned against me to side with the person of which they thought they could gain something economically. This may just be a simple game where you can collect pixilated items and chat with random avi’s, but you must remember that behind that avi there is a person. Someone who bleeds when you cut them and cries when hurt. I guess the point of me typing this was to tell anyone who reads this (I’m sure probably no one will rofl ) that Gaia is a place meant for fun, sure it’s nice to have one of the pretty items to make your avi nice. But don’t ever mistreat another person just because you see someone who doesn’t have any nice items. I don’t care who you are, as long as you are respectful to me I will give you the respect every human being deserves. I will admit that I do sometimes make mistakes and am sometimes a little meaner then I should be, but I try to mend those mistakes. I can only hope that everyone (if anyone reads this xp ) will take this to heart. I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of a flame, and you know . . . . it hurts.


Okay, so this is what I think about when I am sleepy. I really should be in bed, but this has been bugging me for awhile. I just want to say that I am happy that I have such wonderful people that I hang out with.

    Wow, Bel, that's really awful. Anyone who would turn against a person for that reason doesn't deserve to have any friends, and probably doesn't have any real ones. If I'm ever a jerk, let me know! I'll try not to be. *hugs* I'm glad I have friends like you.

    I have had that happen to me too Bel. Then I realized well they couldn't of been that cool if they were mindless lackey's so I got over it. rofl But it did hurt a lot at the time.

    I think that some people feel truly 'Anonymous' on the Internet. Since you don't have to put down a real name, face, or address, signing onto this site gives you a ghosted face: You know a person is there, but never know what they're feeling, even if they tell you.

    Because of this, relationships open and close at drops of dimes. A 'friend' could be there one day, and not even give the time of day next. It would be a nice wish for everyone to act the same as they would right in front of you, but again, they don't feel this commitment on the Internet. I'm sorry that this happened to you, but even the wisest need to be fooled. How are they going to be smarter during the next test? mrgreen

    i totally know what you mean.
    unfortuanately there are many people that` are quite selfish in this world.
    but then again, ignorance is something that has become part of human nature.
    i think about these types of problems all the time.
    sometimes i wonder if people are just being nice to me just cause i`m a charity owner.
    sometimes i wonder if anyone even appreciate the effort i put into helping people.
    even though it`s just a game, to me..
    it`s the thought of helping that counts.
    i remember when i use to not have many items, people were quite rude to me.
    then, after being able to obtain quite a few items, all of a sudden...everyone was nice.
    in a way, it hurt me knowing that people only liked me based on my items.
    it made me feel like no one truely liked me for who i am.
    cause honestly, i act just like myself in real life on gaia.

    i`m sorry to hear that you had to experience such a thing.
    hopefully things gotten much better by now for you. <3

    well, let me know if you ever need to talk. i`ll try to help as much as possible. ^^

    What!?! There are people richer than Bel? o_o

    Just kidding. I have to admit I'm curious to know how my online friends really are in real life. As for the lacky thing that has happened to me before and it does hurt. I handle that mostly by rolling my eyes and barking like a sheep dog (I hate sheeps) . It's strange how people act like farm animals in less than an instant; they're behaviors changing whenever there is 'food' involved.

    I think you are right Bel, alot of people forget about the person on the otherside of the computer. D: Douches. It wouldn't hurt for everyone to be more welcoming lately. Expecially to other gaians, newbies, oldbies or whatever.

    Sorry I couldn't respond sooner. x3
