Some thoughts of a german about the land of the free :)
Current mood: creative

Hmm Ok I guess some people are really interested in what a german or a european in generell thinks about the people in america and also the country itself.

I am just gonna write some stuff down I always wanted to say.

First of all I love america, it is a great country, with beautiful places, friendly, fun, unique, amazing and cool people.

Anyways there are things I consider really fu*ked up. I think that too many people over here are fake. I don't say everybody is. But where I am from people most of the time mean what they say, they say I really like ur shirt, or I really like u, i love u .... they mean it. That also means that the people are 'meaner' sometimes they say stuff that they perhaps should not say, but still, I prefer the truth, cause than u can learn from it or say 'I don't give a sh*t"/ If people are nice all the time, seem like friends or like they care, but actually talk bad about u behind ur back, why do it at all then ? It is not real. I don't know if people talk a lot about me i don't really care, if it's stuff that u don't like about me tell me, I welcome criticism.

But I know that there  are people out there who play other people, who use people's trust and fake their behavior. That results in the fact that people in high school have many 'friends', but actually just have one or two, or no REAL friends, that got their backs, that don't just decide from one day to the next day that they are not friends anymore. Back home I have friends that I know for all my life and we still are best friends, if somethings wrong or pisses the other one of we talk about it, or sometimes we really end the friendship, but there is no relationship built on lies and  and fake behavior/ I remember when I first came over here i thought everybody is really good friends with everybody, everybody just seemed soo nice and friendly. I thought it's all 'good'. Now that I really am a part of all this, being a 'quite' normal american person, I see how people hate on other people, how much intrigues and dirty talk there is about other groups or people. I even get involved in some of that,even though I try my best not to. People seem kind of shallow and they don't even know too much about their so called friends, nobody trusts anybody and that's why it its not working, prejudices, hate, jealousy, selfishness and stupidity/

I know that is not ONLY how it is, and there are always exceptions to every rule, but I think it is unfortunately very common.I also don't believe it is too bad, I don't know I can handle it, cause I know I have people that really care and that are not gonna forget me from one day to the next, but I could not imagine liviing my whole life in this country. Please don't be offended now, I don't say in germany it is all better, it is not, it is a generell problem which is pretty bad in america and other people do agree to that, perhaps u do too? I hope u see what I mean, I hate on the situation,not on u, I am grateful to every single person who was nice to me and helped me having the best time of my life here in the land of th free;)

Hmm hope at least one or two people like this and the other people are not too pissed of or think I am a weirdo.
