Should Be Reading 1000 Splendid Suns

But I'm not. I'm blogging. And, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"


Today's discussion, whatever I feel.


Today in Creative writing Mr. Denk, who I am progressively coming to love more and more, told me his observations of me. He said I came up in conversation and that the one thing he could not do was pinpoint me. He couldn't place me in any clique. He said that was pretty neat and I can't help but agree. The other thing he said that struck me was that I am unique and individualistic. Individualistic is defined as a person who shows great independence or individuality in thought or action. I guess that is me. I like that definition and I like that I am perceived as an independent person. 


I don't want anyone else to define me; be it my father, a girlfriend, my sister, or anyone else for that matter. I want to be remembered for what I alone have done. Like everyone else knows, people will judge you, we as humans judge others, it's just our nature. When I am judged however, I hope people have some good things to say. (To be honest they can say anything they want I don't care either way, but optimistic Tom says that hopefully it's positive.) 


Another thing on my mind is waiting. I can wait. To put it simply I will wait. As long as I have to. When something worth while comes into your life you have no option but to wait. Obviously, at some point patience will run thin. But I believe I can wait as long as I need to. 


While patience is a virtue and being able to wait for something is great, you have to be willing to act. Sitting back and wishing for something to change will get you no where. I like when people say, "Look it's 11:11 make a wish." because to me a wish is just that. We can wish for anything, but what we truly want we have to be willing to work for. I wrote a poem a while ago about wishing so what the heck, I might as well share it.


Make a Wish
11:11 the time to wish,
    but a wish is just that.
A wish carries no real power,
    actions make wishes possible. 
Act: is what I need to do.
    Wish: is what I've done.
Enough is enough and what's done is done,
    now I need to decide.
Wish?
    Or act?


Thanks for reading guys, and I encourage you to look at the clock tonight at 11:11 and not wish, but instead act on what you were wishing for. Maybe something will come of it.
