thank you to those who have been reading. i'm glad that i get to share my life with you.
well, i am currently listening to Mike Posner's new mix tape, yawning uncontrollably and sipping on ice cold water.
today was great. i shopped with my mom, the entire day. we definiately shopped until we dropped. we went Christmas shopping to the extreme and found some pretty astounding deals. we ended up using about 10 coupons and saved at least $200.
later on in the day i ran into an old friend. he has such an amazing personality and is chasing a pretty big dream. we have been friends since we were little hoodlums and i can't believe that he has been placed back in my life after almost nine years!
after an exhausting day of shopping i came home and was out the door again. i had to sit through a middle school basketball game for about an hour. a very prolonged, mundane hour. i spent most of the time in a daze though. i traced back to the days i was in middle school and i just laughed at myself. i really don't want to talk about it because i'm embarassed at who i use to be.
honestly, i cant even fathom the fact that it has been 7 years since i've been in middle school. time goes by so fast and now that i'm older i want to go back. all these responsibilites and independence is a bit intimidating at times. the afflictions i had back in the day was learning how to share, be kind, and show good manners. now i'm dealing with things i thought only my parents had to deal with.
during the game my sister, Diana and i ran into one of her friends_Drew. she seemed really excited to see him and continued to carry on a minute conversation with him. after they said their goodbyes she told me that he's partially blind. i was surprised because i didn't even realize that he was. although, i did notice he didn't make eye contact with her but instead reached his hand out to her. a part of me then became agitated because she didn't introduce me to him.
i only became agitated because i really have a heart for those who are less fortunate than others. my feelings towards them are indescribable. ask anyone in my family, i become extremely admirable and mirthful towards them. every ounce in body wants nothing more than to reach out to them and make them feel special and just as wanted as the rest of us. that is how i found out what i wanted my profession to be. a special ed teacher. those kids are so amazing and want nothing more in life than to feel accepted in this pitiful world.
i didn't have very many thoughts today considering i spent most of my day running around frantically trying to check everyone off my Christmas list. it was actually kind of nice not having my brain over work because i didn't over analyze everything today.
i'm sorry this is a short one. but i'm back to work tomorrow and maybe/hopefully i get to meet some inspirational people again. then i get to share it with you and maybe it will encourage you to be inspiring as well :)
