You never know when learning a new skill will come in handy. For example, I had a crush on a boy in middle school who loved Sonic so I learned how to draw him and the other characters so he’d sit by me. 16 years later I’m trying to take a kid’s blood pressure multiple times. It’s too high because he’s scared, he hates it. I see mom’s got Sonic playing on her phone. So while the dynamap is running I say “hey look at this!” Draw a quick Sonic on the exam table paper, he’s so focused on me that he doesn’t realize his BP was taken, now with beautiful numbers. Gotta do an EKG now and I bribe him, “i’ll draw Tails if you sit still for me”… perfect EKG. Now coming to see a cardiologist is a lot less scary for a couple kids, all because of my middle school crush.
18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him.
my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.
the whole cast’s (but especially Travis) indignant yelling and screaming when they realise Matt might’ve had the other team use their immovable rod against them but they’re also all laughing and smiling. they are having SO MUCH fun
AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT LOVE AND I WON'T.........
One of these days I'll be a published writer and the life I've always imagined since I was a kid might finally begin
