On these sorts of things they always say your first post is supposed to tell people about yourself. So with that in mind, I came up with one question- who am I? And then you have the people who know you more than you know yourself- can that be possible? Can they predict your next move before you even contimplate what you were going to do?
The answer is yes, yes they can. Some people are completely readable, whether they like it or not. I am one of those people, without a doubt. People see right through me. I'm not complicated. I'm not deep. I'm completely 100% simple, with my 'it is what it is' attitude. That doesn't bother me any. I'm happy with who I am. With who my friends are. With where I'm going tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that. I don't want to say I'm typical, because I'm not. Like honestly. I'm 16 years old, I have a car that my parents bought, and I work in a retail store. But does that mean I'm typical? Not really. I pay a car payment every month, more than most people pay to a bank anyway, and my retail store doesn't have a fancy butterfly, eagle, or moose tag embroidered on it (and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg for a pair of jeans, either.) I didn't get my job by knowing people or fitting a stereotype- I did it the old fashioned way, with skills and abilities and experience that stores look for.
I've decided to start writing in this sort of forum or whatever you prefer to call it simply because this way, there is one version. One story. I say it once. Whoever wants to read it, interpret it, do what they may with it, is more than welcome. But this way, I say what I want to say, and that's it. What you choose to do with these words, not my choice. And I've decided that nothing can be too personal, because if it helps others to understand what it is that your feeling, then so be it. So here goes my story for today.
I think its great how you can be completely intimidated by people, and then start talking to them and realizing that its those people who prove to be some of the most important in your life. Like today. I actually had a conversation with someone who I've never talked to before, because I was too intimidated to. He turned out to be a really nice guy, the kind who would come change a flat tire in the snow. And then someone I just started talking to recently, like, past few weeks. I walked by him for two years and never knew anything more than his name, just because he was intimidating. Just then all of a sudden by some unforeseen force of nature, I got up the guts and started talking to him. Already he is one of my very best friends, and I love him to death. He already means so much. :)
So in closing for today, seeming as I've rambled on enough for today, I'm just going to say how amazing it is to have your day brightened by something really simple, like a hug from someone special.
