day 59: one person you can tell everything to

This is a hard one. So far, one person I can tell everything to is Jan,

day 58: places you want to visit, and why

I want to visit California to see my friends. About the only place I want to visit right now.

My Dad started my sister and I in the mailing business. We worked about 7-8 hours a day sorting, ink-jetting, and doing delivery runs. I remember when I used to get tired at night and I would complain to my Dad that we should start heading home, but no. He would scold at how lazy we were and we’d continue and finish what we had left to do. There were nights where we worked until morning and I’d get so exhausted from what we did the day beforehand. I’m not saying the experience was bad because both my sister and I learned much about value. When we both saw how hard it was to get by in life, we eventually started being more generous and friendly towards every one we met. Especially those trying to get food on the table every night. As the years passed, more and more of our money went to the homeless when were out and about. We always did this without hesitancy. We’d always imagine ourselves in their shoes and wondered how much did they work until they were sick and tired of it. That’s where the sympathy comes in and we feel that pain with them.

I’m satisfied with what we have and it couldn’t get any better. That’s why you’ll never see depressing or ranting posts on here. Is there really anything to complain about these days? Not for me. Yeah, in the years to come, people will cause drama and try to start something with me, but what’s the worth of fighting back? Nothing, because there are those who are defined by that word and treated less equally then we are. You talk about love as if it will always be lost, but there are those ailing in sickness waiting for the comfort of someone’s arms to help them on their feet. You complain about money when there are those who don’t have it at all. You’d think I’d be one out of many to complain about life as it is, but when I was 10, thinking beyond my complaints was a must.

day 57: what is your definition of happiness

Working for it.

day 56: something you did as a child that other people remember you for

I used to punch my cousins every time I’d visit them. Nothing special, but now they’re surprised how “nice” I’ve become..I guess.

day 55: a passage from a book that has touched you

“Careful, the beverage you’re about to enjoy is extremely hot”.

I’m not going to take this one seriously, but I got it off my Starbucks cup. Want me to analyze and translate it differently? Every beverage you have in your life is going to be hot. It will take some time to cool your beverage down, but the patience is worth it.

day 54: your definition of love

Unless I’ve experienced it myself, there is no definition for love right now.

day 53: your day, in great detail

I went to my dad’s friends place to talk about business in Fairwood, where we extensively talked about ways of letting people know what we were doing. We talked about how corrupt the economy is right now and what we can do to change that. Afterwards, I drove back home and dropped my Dad off on the way back. I’m currently at Starbucks with my laptop open with a Vanilla Rooibos Latte on the side. I’m going to pick my friend up later on for a business briefing with the hopes that she keeps an open mind. 

If you use the right choice of words, then you’re probably someone I want to listen to and read off the most. In a way, this does apply to tumblr users. To be frank, I follow 34 people, but I only see about 3 people who are truly worth the time to read and check through with. One of those people being Simon who deleted his tumblr a while back. He’s one of the most wildly imaginative people who loves to experiment with the users of this site. At times, I like to do the same and see where it leads me to. I’m done playing those games and I’ll tell you straight up about what I’ve found out so far about these bloggers.

1st Type Of User 

You’re one of those people who expect follow backs if you’re following them. If they don’t follow you back, then you simply unfollow them. Either that or you send them mean anonymous messages.

2nd Type Of User

You make tons of postings about the process of how you follow someone. You tell everyone that you go through their archives to see if they’re interesting or not, which is ok, but making constant postings about that process will make you seem cocky. Most of these users are constant rebloggers. 

3rd Type Of User

You will like and reblog everything of the person you follow to get a followback. Almost everything. And when that person finally does follow you back, you do a fan girl scream. You boast off to your friends that “this” person is following you…and just because that happens doesn’t make you special. This is a blogging site, not the red carpet.

4th Type Of User

You state the obvious far too often and it will make you look like an attention whore. You constantly make postings when you don’t even feel like it. Oh, and you just got your 1000th post…hurrah.

5th Type Of User

You try to write something with a deep meaning when the entire time, you were just going in circles.
