Just think about it?

This past week was a an intriguing one to say the least. For me it was one of those weeks that went REALLY fast. To me when the week flies by it is because something is coming up fast. For me I think it is just school assignments in general. It was only the 2nd week of classes, so for sure starting this week the workload will be kicking in, which means I have to get myself back in gear. Made a pretty sweet Bulletin Board for the month of February this weekend, I mean may not be eye candy, but hey the fact that people get a kick out of it, that is all that matters in my eyes. I was really happy to be able to talk to a really close friend of mine this week, there are always those people that sometimes you just need to hear you out, or just have them talk. People who understand you. Do you have someone that is like that? Maybe someone you don't talk to much, but know they would really listen to anything you would ever have to say, I hope you all have at least someone out there like that! I'm great full to have such a great group of friends around me, and family in my life. Even the people that I randomly see throughout the day and might freak out like a kid when I see, you all have an impact in my life one way or another. Even that person that I yell their name from about 500 feet away at 9 in the morning while walking to class, YOU too! So I would like to say this, remember the friends and family that are there for you in your life, no one said things were going to be easy, but sometimes you have to allow yourself to open to others. I think at one point in our lives we all maybe might have bee guilty of not fully expressing ourselves to others. Whether its telling someone how you feel,  what is wrong, or letting things slide like nothing is on your mind. Okay, so maybe you feel a lone, and dont trust people. It can be hard to trust people sometimes, but remember you're not ALONE. I promise you :) Believe in yourself, because other people do TOO.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT? I was in one of my classes on Thursday this past week and we are currently watching a movie on the social hierarchy of class in our society today. Whether it be high, middle, or low. You get the drifting. One part of the movie REALLY caught my eye. It was about a woman and her three kids who are teenagers I believe. They live in a trailer park in a trailer home. I'm not going into the specifics of what the home looks like etc etc because you all MIGHT can imagine. The woman did state in the video that she is a part of the lower class. Here is the part that really made me feel bad. The woman has a car, but it is broke down and needs new tires, and much more work done on the car. She couldnt afford to get it fixed, so everyday she has to walk TEN and HALF MILES to go to work at arbys. She doesn't complain about walking because it is her only CHOICE. Imagine walking to 10 miles everyday and BACK just to get to work and then back home. Thats not even including how tiresome work may be on a normal day. JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

If you're reading this right now, you may be thinking, "this guy is going to write and tell me to be thankful for what I do have in my life". I mean I COULD...but I'M NOT. My message today is to JUST THINK ABOUT IT. Have you ever known someone who could really use a helping hand? I would think and hope we all DO. The video really got me thinking, what could I do to help someone each and everyday, but thats not the point. I realized it isisnt about finding someone to help, because help will find YOU. A lot of people wont accept help, which is understandable. I am sure we all have been there once or twice or even many times in our lives. so JUST THINK ABOUT IT. The next time someone needs help carrying groceries to their car, a person needs someone to hold the door open for them, your friend needs a hug, you want someone to go on a walk with you, someone needs a quick laugh, or maybe even a random hello as you pass them. The help people need is all around us. Corny sounding to some, but to me its true. Maybe some people need their "space". Heck we all do sometimes, but my overall message today is my hope for people to realize that while others may need help sometimes, dont forget about yourself. Even if it is just talking. Take that chance to meet someone new, tell them your story. When someone needs a laugh, do something STUPID. It might just make their day, you never know. Have you done anything lately. JUST THINK ABOUT IT? Whether you have or haven't..now is your chance. No one can tell you what you should or shouldn't do. It is all up to you.

It is Saturday at about 6:38 p.m. Some people may be going out tonight with friends, or staying in doing homework/studying, watching a movie, baking food, play video games, going out on a date(owe owe). JUST THINK ABOUT IT. The next time you see that old woman at the grocery store that could use help packing her car, or that random person walking down the street that you don't know that looks like they could use a simple smile and "hello" to them. JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

I hope everyone is having or had a great weekend. Take care all.............PEACE
