So I was just thinking, and this is totally random by the way, this past Friday before my usual bowling league, while I was leaving from Bounce, this boba place, I’m turning right out from a parking lot and this guy is giving way for me. And I see his little boy in the truck and the little boy is smiling and waving hi at me. That pretty much made my Friday. And yes, it’s as simple as a little kid waving and smiling at me that gets me going. It’s their innocence that makes me smile, because they don’t know anything and they don’t have to worry about anything. There are so many times where I feel I just want to be a child again, not knowing how it feels to take on responsibilities and thinking how to get through life. They don’t know what it feels to get hurt except by having a wound on their leg. The only thing that a child and I have in common is that we both haven’t seen the world yet.

On another note, Lauren, one of my affies, read the poem from my last entry and suggested a poem about love that is found in the Bible, none other than 1 Corinthians 13:4-7:

“Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always preserves.”

This is one of my favorite poems about love. It’s so beautiful. I think it describes love perfectly because that how I feel love should be.

“You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.” - Will Smith in Pursuit of Happyness

We all have dreams. I believe in turn, some of those dreams transform into goals. Either long term or short term goals, depending on when you realize its a goal and not a dream. To me dreams are the impossible. Or you may think it’s impossible. But once you feel that it’s possible to achieve something where you have to work for it, it’s a goal.

So after my league, my friends and I go out for boba (a kind of drink) like how we usually do on friday nights. We are sitting there talking. We ended up partly talking about what will I be doing in the future. So I laid out my plans, get my RN license, then get my BSN, while also doing web and graphics design on the side. I didn’t know I can just go straight into getting my BSN. And when I thought I had everything together, or knew my direction completely, I felt I was pushed off path since I now know I don’t need to do RN then BSN. Great. Just great.
