Well it all started with my meeting with the officers of the psych club at my school. it was a pretty good meeting, I was to present a proposal to them to organize a Breast Cancer walk and raise as much as possible. I had one thing in mind and they had another but after a bit of back and forth we came to an agreement to gather a committee to get as much done as possible before the Walk in October as possible. I know that this may not sound like much but when dealing with a bunch of head strong alphas it was a big achievement.
Then the next day I went and got my first piercing which is something that I have been going back and forth on for the past three years. I decided to celebrate my three year anniversary of health with out major complications by paying some one to stab me in the face and then feel obligated to tip them, strange how that works. But it was an experience I will Never forget, I was amazed at how much fun it was and how I look forward to doing other "facial stabbings".
on top of all this I celebrated my cousins 27th birthday. This also may seem insignificant but I am grateful for every chance to celebrate passing of years I have learned to cherish times spent with the ones you love. I believe that the greatest success in life is not just who you know but how well you know someone. The connections that we as people make with each other should never be taken for granted. My cousin is one of my best friends and I love him with all my heart. I have enjoyed watching him grow into a man I can be proud to call my family. I have lost a lot of friends over the years and mostly because of situations out of my control and out of those situations I learned that there is nothing more important than the connection to each other.
This connection doesn't have to be limited to family matter of fact it should not be limited to family. If we put as much time and effort into our relationships as we do wasting time on the phone in a room full of people doing the same then the would would be a better place. I am not saying that everyone needs to get along but I do believe that we would be better off if we set the distractions down and get jacked in to the person across from us. share something with a stranger and see what happens. Now by NO means am I an extroverted person.... But I do realize the importance of connecting with someone even if it is just one person for one moment. We are social beings and if left to our own we tend to become bitter.
I think I will finish this week off with a goal in mind, share something with a stranger and learn about their story because after all aren't we all in our own story just interacting in different chapters of another's story creating a greater story of life.?
