Things Worth Fighting For

Today was the first day of 11th grade. All new classes, new teachers, new people and even some old people. I love school. for the social reasons yes,but also for the challenge. 
I like challenges. If i win the challenge it means that i have succeeded. 
If i dont win, it just means to get back up and start over again. Pick up the pieces and do it again. 
I feel that a lot of relationships in my life are like homework. Now before you stop reading, think about it this way. Homework will lead to knowledge, that knowledge you stored up will help you pass quizzes and tests, and in the end it will help you pass the class.
When you first meet a new potential friend or even boyfriend you have to do your homework. You have to figure out what they are like, what they do for fun, what makes them smile and what you could do to make them cry, or really what you shouldn't do to make them cry, right? 
Alright, now you are friends...You go to movies and you go to Togo's or Super T with them quite regularly.
All the sudden their opinion of your hair color matters. 
Before you put on an outfit you check to see if its up to their standards. 
What you say to other people in your life you even pass through this one person. 
Everything starts to revolve around them. Being it a group of best friends, a boy, or a best friend. EVERYTHING that matters to you, you WANT to matter to them. 
Now this can become a problem if the other person is not this idea that you had in your head. Maybe this person isn't what you thought, i mean who really cares about what color your hair is? Who really cares what outfit you are wearing. Frankly, if they DO care ONLY about what you look like we have a serious problem.
I need to be loved for more than just my outside. That is one of my biggest challenges. This love can be from whomever, but i need it to be more than just a love for my sense of style. 
If someone who is so important in my life does not care about my feelings. My love for God and what He wants me to do. My passion for being the best i can. My crazy love for my brother and sister. And my want to succeed. If they can not love that part of me, then please, do you see the point? 
Thats exactly right. There is no point. 
Some challenges are like a pot of water with holes in the bottom. no matter how hard you wish and hope that water does not come out, its inevitable. It will soon empty. 
The people in my life that will come to my house when i am crying, hurting, and just looking to be held. 
The people in my life who can see me before the day starts and tell me i look beautiful.
The people in my life who can worship with me at church. 
The people in my life who can tell me when to shut up, yet will listen to me ramble. 
The people in my life who actually care...
They are things worth fighting for.
With that being said, i challenge you to be a friend worth fighting for.
