This week has almost took a toll on me. I'm not trying to complain or anything but it has almost disgusted me. Not the disgust that one feels to a murderer or anything like that. I felt disgust toward myself. Confused? Let me explain.
Monday and Tuesday, and heck, we'll throw Wednesday in there too. I devoted my free time to work on our Senior float. I figured it would be run of the mill do this do that, get upset, and go home. But it wasn't like that. Not like that at all.
Let me start off by saying, (I'll get to my point shortly) I don't deserve the friends I have, they mean the world to me. They absolutely brighten my day, I get the feeling of a 3 month old child waking up to see the face of his mother. I cannot help but grin with every muscle in this sorry excuse for a face when i see my friends. Each and every friend are part of a beautiful portrait that make up my life. Without friends, I myself, would be nothing.
Okay, back to the main reason I started writing this. I was so disgusted with myself because I realized I was working on a float with people I rarely spoke to, let alone acknowledged and I felt like garbage for it. Why would anyone want to be around someone who hardly ever utters a word to them? There were all sorts of people there. Preppy kinds that dressed nice. (I am a slob) The quiet kinds who go on about their busines (How I envy their ability to do that, for I am an eaves dropper) Sporty kinds (like I said, S-L-O-B) and well, I can't really describe them, but they like metal and dragon ball z (me? well heck, they make me feel like I am the biggest hick ever, but I love 'em) And I got to thinking, I've never heard of anyone of these people say anything bad about me, and I don't even fit in their groups. (So to a certain someone, you know who you are, that was a reason why I was feeling bad the other day)
All the puzzle pieces fell in place tonight though, at a bon fire, or should I say, a BOND fire, for i got to talking to everyone. Finding out bits and pieces of what makes them think the way they do. I LOVED it.
When I got there, I thought to myself, "this is going to be soooo lame! To my suprise, it wasn't.
So to everyone out there, I will try harder to get to know you before it's too late, I never want to forget you, and I hope I can leave a mark on y'alls lives like you have imprinted mine
