What i've learned about myself.

Living at the hostel hasn't been all bad. Ok, about 98% bad, but i have learnt a few thing's about myself as i've lived there.
 
I am too trusting at times. That's something i have decided i need to work on.
 
I don't judge people easilly. If someone is willing to change their lives, then i think we should help and encourage, and not judge for their previous behaviour. There was a girl who was a recovering drug addict, and some people there gave her a hard time, and she was struggling at times, but she talked to people through the hard times, and she got her place in rehab (where she is now).
 
I do judge people if they're a thief, alcoholic, druggie or general low life. Like i said above, if you wanna change your life, offer support. If not, then that's there call. That's the type of people i judge. I can empathize with a few of them, but i don't know why you'd wanna waste your life getting drunk or high, or inflicting misery on others.
 
I can live without materialistic thing's. I don't have much money left over after i pay my rent, so i don't get the chance to buy much.
 
I can cook, and enjoy it.
 
I am responsable, and enjoy looking after myself, and other's.
 
That's what i learnt in the last few months.

Living here is destroying my faith in humanity.

I like to try to see the good in everyone. Niave, i know, but that's the way i am. If i can help someone, i will.

Living in this house, though, has got me doubting humanity, in general. Another 'nice' person has turned out to be a thief, and i'm wondering if there's anyone here who isn't a criminal, of some sort.

I know, hand on heart, there's about 5 people here i trust. My mum, the woman she goes to bingo with, the other woman my mum's age, who just moved in, The gay guy downstairs, the handyman and the couple upstairs.

They've all had stuff stolen, and they're the people i chat to, when i'm cooking in the kitchen. Everyone else, i don't have much to do with.

How can someone steal from someone else in the same situation as themselves?. I really don't understand the mentality of people, sometimes.
