Little Things 11/6/12

So this page is kinda like a mini blog; here, I would write down what I found beautiful (hopefully daily). It could be anything. I could be writing an act of kindness I have done; kindness towards me; or an act of kindess I have witnessed. I could be writing events today (most common one) that I learned that made me a better person. I could be writing how beautiful nature was. You get the idea. It really isn't that hard. I could write down every little thing that happened that day.

Because beauty is found anywhere and everywhere.
I know for a fact that it's in you.

My best friend and I had such a hyper day, haven't laughed this much in so long.

I've told two people about this blog today, and they've been so supportive to my surprise <3

My friend's mom was really kind to me, saying that her home is mine too.

A teacher of mine showed that he really cared for my well-being, not just my grades or whatever. Another said that he always sees me happy, which is kinda hilarious.

Blah I've been already slacking off. Sorry guys!

Some people were really worried when I came to school with no crutches anymore, and offered to help, even if they had to be late to class. I thought it was very nice of them to think of others before themselves.

I witnessed two people saying sorry to each other. It actually made my day.

The overall kindness people have shown to me the past few days have just been amazing. I'm really grateful for the people who surround me and I realize that I need to work harder to give back and show them the same kindness they have shown me.

One of my friends today was told that she was fat. Twice. It made me and a lot of other people angry, but after she stopped crying, it was nice to see her smile again. NO ONE deserves to hear that. NO ONE.

With me being on crutches, I fell right in the middle of the hallway (I came from outside and it was raining so the floor was slippery). I was with a friend so I just laughed it off. As I was heading into the elevator, a guy stopped the doors from closing and asked, "Hey, are you okay?" I guess he saw from behind. The fact that he took the time to ask me how I was actually meant alot to me.

I saw two of my closest friends bravely post their insecurities on their blogs (in response to my own #littlethingschallenge) and it's really living proof, how the flaws they found in themselves are absolutely beautiful to me.

During English class in the library lab, I looked at pictures of what Hurricane Sandy caused. Though they were grieved with distruction, I loved those photos with people in the background, still smiling. And those brave Red Cross people who started helping rescue people.

It sounds like a silly thing, but I really liked how my AP WH teacher took the time afterschool to help me and a couple friends start on homework. We hadn't asked for her help but she was excited to help and actually did the work with us. I saw the sparkle in her eye that really shows how much she loves being a teacher. You don't see that passion often. In fact, she's just the third teacher I've had my entire life who REALLY loved teaching.

In 'What Makes You Beautiful', I was told I was beautiful. 'Little Things' made me believe it ya knowwww

I learned that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fight with one of my best friends, it's literally impossible.

I read comments on an article concerning Hurricane Sandy and found that comments came from EVERYWHERE around the world, from Britain, to AUS, to Malaysia. It was incredible seeing how much support we get.

My favorite is from Israel that said, "Stay safe, America. We will be behind you in all of this. After the storm, we will help you back on your feet and help with whatever destruction Sandy caused. You are in our thoughts."

It's nice to know that even though people think the USA is 'superior' and 'noble', it's not true at all and they are willing to help us. In times of trouble, we need everyone. And to know that they would offer their help is so amazing.
