The item that I picked up that inspired me was a rock. I know that it seems a little dull but it has a lot of meaning to me. I saw the rock in a pile of dirt then I got to thinking about how does that interest me. It came to me that a rock could stand for almost anything and so I put it in my bag of interest.
I really have many ideas about the rock, this is the first one. It stands for how I fight for what I believe in. if I think something is an important idea to back up to the max then that’s what I do. I was told when I was a young child that if you highly disagree with something then you don’t be afraid to let the world know. My uncle told me that so that and he is one of the people I always looked up too. He passed away a while ago but what he said still inspires me all the way. I felt that if I don’t speak up then if something goes wrong that I could have prevented it from happening. And the feel of guilt is one emotion that is just overwhelming to deal with.
I picked up a big rock because that really reminded me of how I lift weights to try to get bigger. I mainly do it to release stress but I want to stay in shape for the military. And it shows that if I act as a rock that I can be a rock. If I am in a pile of dirt then I can make my way to a store shelf if I try hard enough. Just to never give up on what you dream of because if you don’t then you will regret it sooner or later. Plus if you make it to your life e goal then that means that you can counter anything you that you want.
Third it shows how if you keep your strength and shape then real friends will be easy to keep. Nobody likes to have a friend that gets down then acts different or they just act fake around a certain crowd. It shows that you don’t have enough self-confidence to just be yourself. And just to be “me” is very important because I want actual friends that will help me when I need it. The more you lose the more your eyes should open up too reality. I know that people are different but that doesn’t mean that you can treat people bad. I think that nobody should be treated bad no matter the situation but even though it happens. I don’t do it to any person no matter how they treat me I try to keep from saying things that are mean when the piss me of but sometimes I don’t succeed. I really practice this for one reason and on reason only, just so that the people around me can be the same way and that I won’t feel as if things are out of place.
Albert,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the Rock! I am impressed with the man you have become! I really agree with your position on "being real". So many people in this world are going through life like robots! You are a leader in life on this issue. Your uncle was a good man and he is up there looking down and very proud, just like your Mom and I. You are a rock in our house... Wait what?.... Mom said I am the dirt of the family... jk lol, actually she said I am a boulder, which I guess means I am fat.
Thank you for sharing this, Albert. I admire your noble intentions and do my best to be a dependable, kind and strong person myself. You're right that it's not always easy and that we will often fail, but to have a good heart counts for a lot, and I hope you're always able to hang on to your individuality and sincerity. I like that you attached lofty ideals to an ordinary object--just the kind of meaningful connection I was hoping that activity would result in. I also like your dad's witty comments. :) How nice of him to read your blog and take the time to respond.
