| to everyone who comes upon my site:
tell me something about yourself.
your interests. your goals. your talents.
anything you wish.
i don't like talking about myself all the time in these blogs.
tell me about yourself.

| today at lunch i saw a girl getting picked on.
a small girl. with glasses and long brown hair.
she was sitting all alone.
a group of boys from an adjacent table mocked her and threw pieces of food at her table.
i went over and yelled at them. they all ceased their comments and stared at me.
they stopped.
i sat with her a while. we talked for a bit.
her name is emily.
people need to stop being so intolerant.
we're all human.

| have i influenced you?
have i changed your life?
have i inspired you in any way?
do i listen when you need to talk?
do i care about your feelings above my own?
do i make you realize how special you really are?
will you remember me when i'm gone?
will you smile today because of something i said?
will you keep me in your thoughts?
it's not a survey.
it's just a list of questions i keep in my head when i meet someone.
i want to help someone.
i want to make a positive difference in someone's life.
i think that's all everyone wants, deep down.
everyone wants to help another.
it would be rewarding like nothing else. |

| sometimes i cry like that,
pretty tears.
this salted display of agony
pains me more than i can express.
it is quiet in this room.
there's a pounding silence that stares me in the face
watching me in bitter indifference. |

| the sky is beautiful,
so often overlooked,
despite overlooking us all.
the sky is beauty untouched by man.
it is amazing to me that through all the ages of the earth
the sky has remained the same
those same constellations have been hanging since the beginning of time
people, thousands of years ago,
were gazing upon the same exact star that catches our eye
the earth changes
trees grow and disappear
cities are created and destroyed
the earth erodes
continents shift
but the sky
the view we see when each of us turns our head upward
that remains the same
the sun always rises and sets
the moon always glows
and the stars always shine
it is the only constant.
amazing. |
