Final Wish


Three years ago I wrote about the end of a story. I have to admit that when it did not end, but added characters, and continued on I was upset. I thought about the connection I had with the show and the people that shared that time with me and wondered how I could continue watching it without feeling let down. At times I did feel let down but held on like any crazed fan would. Three years ago I lived through this show. I was Haley when she fell in love for the first time. I was Nathan when he screwed up. I was Brook when she didn't trust the good things that happened to her. And I was Mouth feeling like I would always be just the friend. I say "was" but I think I still am. I have watched as these characters have traveled through some of the worst and best moments anyone could live through and I have become stronger for it. I will keep this short as words can no longer express the gratitude I feel towards this show, for the laughs it brought me with friends during stressful times, for the tears I shared with no one wishing that life would get better and finding out it does, and for the words that remind me that the things I thought I lost are simply still around me in different forms.

There is a quote from the show that was given in an episode called Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace in 2009 and was repeated in the final episode in 2012. It has hung in my room, on my wall, and is now stuck to my computer. I read it often and feel the power that comes from the most unlikely of places. It reminds me to never lose sight of the things that make life wonderful and to always look to tomorrow when the world and people will surprise you.

Make a wish and place it in your heart. 
Anything you want, everything you want. 
Do you have it? 
Good. 
Now believe it can come true. 
You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. 
The next smile, the next wish come true. 
But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open up your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you're wishing for. 
The world is full of magic. 
You just have to believe in it. 

So make your wish. 
Do you have it? 
Good. 
Now believe in it, 
with all of your heart.

Personal Day

So, all day, from the moment that first ray of annoying sunlight started invading the inner sanctum that is my bedroom, I wanted a day...one day for myself. I had this dream of being able to wake up, make myself a wonderful breakfast (all the while having music play in my head worthy of a 90's sitcom), lazily get dressed and begin to put my life back together. No family, no obligations, no guilt, just peace. The morning was wonderful. My brother, who never seems to get going till about noon, was not making noise in his shop that is located on the other side of my bedroom window. My parents were at work. And I was living my dream. All things were wonderful until the afternoon when, like a ball that rolls down a hill and lands in a pond of goo, the whole thing turned into a disaster. For some reason, I was just unable to recover. I couldn't pull it back to a place where the dream could continue living. Instead I turned into the worst version of myself, swearing at my family in my...

Insanity

So this was a big week. For the first time in a long time I have felt the overwhelming need to cry. As always I am unaware of the way that people can see what is going on with me even when I think that I doing a good job of hiding it from everyone. I am an RA (Resident Advisor) at Dixie. This week I was given the task to work with another RA to make flyer's for a sports activity that was coming up. Usually I am the one who makes sure that everything that needs to go on the fl yer is on and is correct. The other RA usually does all the "Flash". Well this week I had over 28 hours of work to do. Because of all of the homework that I had to do I did not check the fl yer that had been done and let the other RA do what ever he wanted and trusted that the information would be correct. A few days later it was the day before all of my assignments were due and I was freaking out. I also had to go to my RA meeting. At these meeting my RM (Resident Manager) has personal meetings with...

Peace and Failure

She had failed. There was no other way to say it. Despite all of her accomplishments, all of the honours that people attributed to her, she had failed at the things that mattered most, and no amount of humour, self-deprecating or not, could change that fact. For years she'd hid behind her staged smile and her enticing humour. She had worked hard at the tasks that had clear beginnings and endings and could be accomplished by mortals. She dreamed of being more, of doing more, of meaning more. Yet, when opportunities presented themselves, she failed to live up to the possibilities. People. That was the part of life that she had failed. She had failed to truly care about or for people. Caring led to pain. Caring meant investing in another person, only to have that person reject all that had been invested into them. It was easier not to care, to create a safe distance so as not to get hurt. It was easy for Her to do. Like a switch that she could flick on and off, she could care or n...
