Just a little blog.

I'm in the middle of doing laundry and listening to Mario- Let me love you... and I just thought I'd say hi to my faithful five readers!

Despite the fact that I'm sure I'm about to sound like a cliche preacher, I will say what I'm thinking. Each person you will ever meet or not meet in this life is special. They each have things they care about, they each have things they love, and they each have things that have caused them pain. Sometimes I forget that I'm not the only person on earth who goes through these emotions.

The most interesting question I've ever heard is, "What's your story?" It covers so many areas...

What brought you here?
What have you gone through in life?
What shaped you into the person you are today?

Everyone has a story. I remember I used to ask this question to people I met, and would just sit listening to them for an hour or two. And you know what? After I listened to their life story, I cared about them. They meant something to me. They were special to me!

Take some time to talk to people this week. Not necessarily to learn their entire life story, but to get to know them. Hopefully, you will care about them in a different way!

Gotta finish the laundry and listening to Lullaby by Creed!

I find that the more I hear someone's story, the more I want to fight FOR them rather than fight them. That's why I always wear earplugs before going to fight club...oh wait, I think there was some rule about not mentioning what I do every Friday night, oh well.

Make that six readers, but not so regular...I need to work on that.

You've never asked my life story, but then I've never asked yours...hmmm!

I was listening to Creed, just this evening...trying to catch up on useful culture...
