"Undressing the Words"... the words are naked

Growing Old

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:03:00 -0400

This is the first time I’ve been on Tumblr in months! Between school, work and a handful of miscellaneous things, I haven’t made much time for being on here. But while I was thinking about it, I figured I’d pop on and write a short something.

As I’m sitting here watching The Hobbit and eating veggies for dinner (yes, just veggies; sometimes that craving just kicks in), I kind of laughed at myself and thought, “I’d never thought I’d be this person.”
If you had told me about 5 years ago that I was going to be the person I am today with the interests I have, I would have laughed at you, and told you you were off your rocker. I never thought I’d spend an afternoon after work playing WoW rather than doing homework like I should have been. I never thought that I’d have the issues I’d be having with going to school (getting all of my paperwork together and getting advisors that will actually advise). I never thought at 22, I’d be supporting myself and paying doctor bills and credit card bills. You know, I assumed I’d have to take care of those things eventually, but not now at 22.
I just never thought I’d be here, where I’m at.
I thought I had it all figured out, and boy I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I’m not ashamed of who I am or where my life is at at this point, by any means. I just never thought I’d turn out to be who I am.

I’m quite happy with where life has led me the past couple of years. I really did do quite a bit of growing up in that time, and for that I am proud of myself. I’m wiser, my skin is thicker, my heart is stronger and my spirit is brighter. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve made it this far, and that has been with support of amazing family and friends.

It’s funny how the smallest things can remind you of your role in this world and how you should never doubt who you are or who you will become because your purpose here is greater than you may ever know.

OK AT THIS POINT I AM CONVINCED THAT TRELAWNEY IS A 100% LEGIT SEER

in greek mythology there was a seer named Cassandra who was given her powers by the god Apollo, and Apollo later cursed her so that nobody would believe any of her prophecies, which all turned out to be true, when she refused to sleep with him.

what’s trelawney’s great-grandmother’s name? CASSANDRA.

Stay Positive: 10 Myths/Facts About Introverts:

psych-quotes:

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

The Story of Kyle

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.”

I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, “Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.” He looked at me and said, “Hey thanks!” There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.

I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before, but we talked all the way home, and I carried his books.

He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes.

We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, “Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!” He just laughed and handed me half the books.

Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.

Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn’t me having to get up there and speak.

On graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech, so I smacked him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be great!” He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. “Thanks,” he said.

As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach — but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story.” I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn’t have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.”

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture, you can change a person’s life.
