today i was talking to a girl who knew my best friend back in singapore. she used the word 'slutty' on her. she probably didnt know that she was my best friend, and i didnt tell her either. the best part was i didnt even try defending her. which got me thinking for a bit.

maybe in the eyes of others, she may seem slutty or bitch-like. i wouldnt actually be surprised. but i've never thought of her in that way. and i found myself thinking that even if the whole world thought she was a slut or bitch, i still wouldnt. maybe on the outside, just because she's friendly to the guys and cause she's pretty and hot by their definition, all the girls think badly about her. maybe its her outgoing and forthright personality that causes her this trouble. but from someone who's an 'insider', so to speak, i just cant see her like that.

maybe she has changed on the outside, over the years. but i know deep down inside, she's still the same girl that i love to hang out with. i know the very essence of her is very much the same. even if the world were to turn their backs on her, i'd still love that girl for who she is. the bubbly, crazy girl who's never shy. the girl who i can proudly sing on the back of a packed bus with to christian songs even if everyone around us thinks we're weird.

it all comes down to peeling back the layers. what's at your core?

i have thoughts that are scattered and cant exactly express properly.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
