Yesterday at work my manager rang up a little boy and his sister. I was not doing my job and trying on this jacket that I always put on my body. Amy (my mananger) was like "you really like that jacket huh beelee". The little boy who was at the register asked how much it was. I didn't hear him ask, then Amy asked me. She asked is that 22.50 or 29.50? and i replyed with 29.50. and then continuted to gaze at myself in the mirror. Then Amy asked the little boy if he was going to buy it for me, or if he liked me. and he replied with "no, i don't like her or anything but my dad always says that if you do something nice for someone it comes back to you later in life". He didn't have enough money to buy it for me. I didn't even know that any of that happened until they left and Amy told me about it. The kid was 14 years old, how many 14 year olds act like that nowadays? not many, that's for sure. Another question, why would a 14 year old want to buy something for a complete stranger, someone he doesn't even know to make them happy? What he said has always been a part of what I believe as well, if you do nice things and make others happy. You will get good things in turn as well. Although I never have enough money to make many of my friends happy. I am very dedicated to the friendships we both share. I can't count how many times people just stop the friendship. They just quit talking to me, and it isn't just them. it takes two to have a friendship,and it must be mutual to work out... but it hurts sometimes, but if someone stops talking to me... i can't do anything about it. All I could possibliy do is add them to my list of friends that has failed to work out. I've already given my friendship to them, I gave them something good. I don't cause problems or drama. I give them what I can to make them happy. All I want to do is talk, and be a friend. Besides what would you do without a friend to talk to? I've been there too many times where it feels like you have no one to talk to, or laugh with. I'm so thankful for the few people that have stuck around for so long my list for true friendships is very small, but it's worth more than money to me. That 14 year old reminded me of what is true. Money is nothing, love and care for others and give them something to remember you by.
I want to be remembered.
