Against any recommendations, I'm on my feet, battling a fever and a sore throat. I've always said that we can cheat our bodies; pretend we're fine and maybe our brains will buy it. Obviously this doesn't always work but you can't blame a gal for trying.I was able to enroll in that Italian class I want to take so badly. And I'm hoping I don't change my mind later because the classes I have for next semester can't be dropped. I either take them or I take them. And college applications to transfer are coming up soon.
Tomorrow I'll volunteer from very early 'til a little after noon. And then get the textbooks I didn't buy online. Everything seems to be sailing fine.
This morning, I was watching on HBO the movie Rocket Science (2007). This film brings us the story about a boy who stutters but decides to join his high school debate team (yes, Lizzi, it made me think about you- have you seen it?). He really joins because of this girl that he's attracted to who is a great debater in the team.
As I have a no-spoilers policy, I'll only discuss something from the movie that can't be missed. The boy at some point says to one of his friends, "one day you'll find love and everything will be different." And this line certainly struck one of the weakest nerves inside of me.
I've been there (in love), but I've also been a non-believer. It's pure logic, when we share with someone we love, we enjoy it more. When we do something we love, we wish we didn't have to stop. When we. . . well, you get the idea.
This is one of those things that it's so damn obvious, that we choose to ignore it at times. When one of my friends asked me why I work for free (volunteer) when I could be hanging out with friends, I told him that even though I loved my friends, I get a nice hint of happiness in me when I'm helping others (and either way I always make time for my friends).
It's not rocket science, when we do something we love, we just simply do it better. Are you doing what you love?
I'm most definitely doing something I love. In fact, I also love volunteering :) And no, I haven't seen that movie, but I've got to check it out!
ReplyDeleteRight now, I am doing it. :) The movie sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteAbout the sickness, I also tried to fool my body once and it worked. Maybe, I was just stressed, which made me felt sick. But I did battle it. :)
I love my friends more than anything on this planet... Oh and whatever you do don't fool yourself into thinking you can fly coz it so doesn't work! Believe me... I've tried. :)
ReplyDeletehope you get to feeling better, especially since you seem to have a full day tomorrow...
ReplyDeletelove. i think you hit it on the head with helping others. sometimes we do that out of obligation and you can tell. do it with love and it makes all the difference in the world.
I love people, helping people, seeing people get it, so i would say i do what i love right now.
have a great weekend!
I feel like I didn't give much credit to this movie but if you think about it, a boy who stutters joining a debate team? That's something to watch.
ReplyDeleteNelonie, it worked! I'm all good! I was even able to work out yesterday. In your face, sickness! :)
Blaise, I'm sure you have, but it's ok- I already tried that once.
Brian, I do feel better, thanks. I'm glad you get to do what you love. It's all that matters.
Well I wasn't a quick learner it took me at least three attempts until I decided it wasn't going to work! :)
