15 Things You Probably Never Knew or Thought About
I got this email from one of my high school classmates. I had received it before, but I am glad he sent it today. I'm going to include my own commentary on it.
1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
Well damn! There are only two people in this world who I KNOW would die for me -- my grandmother and my mother. I really don't think three other people would. In fact, I hope they wouldn't. Life is to precious to just be dying all willy nilly for the likes of me.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
True. I can see that.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
I think some people might hate me because I AM just like them. I don't subscribe to the "jealously as the root of all strife" theory. Some people probably GENUINELY dislike me -- I'm cool with that! I can't change how people feel about me, and hell, I'm not perfect.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
I wish some random bama I dislike would smile at me -- PLEASE! So I KNOW my smile ain't gonna make my enemies happy, lol.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
I believe it. I've no idea who, but I believe it.
6. You mean the world to someone.
BUT WHO?????? We're talkin the WORLD here -- I need to know who that is.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
Well damn! I saved somebody's life?
8. You are special and unique.
True that, true that. ;-)
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
Again...who??? How can somebody I don't know exists actually love me? (The only reasonable explanation would be a child I don't know about, but I certainly haven't impregnated anyone.)
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
I agree.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
That is some good ass advice.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
For better or for worse.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
That's definitely a goal of mine.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
I AGREE. I always try to do so.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.
I do and I will. :-)
