I copied these words from my Son's notes on his Facebook notes page. He wrote them when he was 16 years old and I wanted to immortalize them here. I am always proud of the wisdom he manages to dig from his experience in life:
16 Things About Me
Rules: IF U NEED THE RULES -- YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK. THANK YOU.
(Sidebar: -- I think my title for this Note is so creative. I know it might not be, but I still choose to bask in its creativity)
1. I always retype my comments on Facebook if I make a spelling mistake, delete the DEFECTED post, and pray to god that the people involved do not get email alerts.
2. If you do something to piss me off. My instinct is to hold a grudge and never let it off my mind. I still hold grudges from Improv. -- Thankfully, I can control my instincts
3. I've liked Britney's music ever since "Oops I did it Again", and it was her music that taught me how to sing the way that I do.
3. When I sing Top 40 in my room, my mind automatically commands me to sing the harmonies.
4. If I need to care for myself. I will do just that, and tune everyone else out, when this happens, nobody can get 100% sincere attention from me. Rarely happens. I think its fair.
5. I try NOT to put down things that I've done in the past. No matter how embarrassing stories can get, they are a part of what formulated me, and if I do seem to speak negatively about them, I'm really showing off about what I've learned and how I've learned it.
6. I am rlly content with my life. Great friends; Amazing parents. And when I have a bad day, just a reminder that "Life's good [L.G.]" can bring it up again.
7. I always forget that I've written a book, and end up appearing flustered when I'm asked about it.
8. I love having conversations with people about what their definition of life is, whether it consists of mutual contribution, or just listening. I cannot stand when it turns into a "prove-U-R-wrong" debate.
9. In my head, I have compassion for everyone, but I don't always know how to show it. This is something I want to change.
10. I secretly believe my hips were made for dance.
11. I've overcome worrying over what people think of me. This took a lot of practice and patience, but it’s made life so much easier. Thanks Dad.
12. I worry that I might lose the imagination that I had when I was younger.
13. I absolutely love when people take the time to come up and talk to me, and I do my best to show them I appreciate it, as well. But sometimes forget that I can start conversations, too.
14. I want to inspire. Speaking with the Dr. Clark kids occasionally dominates my mind, and makes me want to do it again.
15. I hate when people blame my successes on me being a teacher’s pet. I work hard on my essays, and put a lot more thought than you might think into scenes in Drama.
16. I dance when I'm alone.
