you know, when i was young, i used to have these dreams/daydreams of having some sort of magical power which i could use to make my friend's lives all better, fix all their problems and make their day. sometimes it was the ability to fly so i could send them all home, or to make sure their tests were all 100% correct. things like that. then i read Matilda and it made such a huge impression that i read it again. and again. and i tried to stare at things to make them move, believing that if i tried hard enough, just perhaps it would work.
of course it never worked.
that didn't really stop me from trying to stare at my Pastor's Nalgene waterbottle today to see if it would drop from the pulpit. (it didn't)
but it made me think... when did i stop having the desire to make my friend's or even just acquaintances lives significantly better? is it that i'm older and the realisation that i can't possibly make a mircale for everyone has set in? or am i lazy? or just too tired to be concerned about others' problems when my brain is screaming for rest.
oh well. i don't think i am a very NICE person. despite this, i shall try to be nice to everyone. even people who i don't really like. and i shall pay more careful attention to make a difference in people's lives. maybe i can't turn their water into milo, but that doesn't mean that i can't try to make their lives just a little bit better every once in a while?
also, the realisation that i have been a very bad witness has struck me once again. i'm sorry. i forget about these things sometimes.
anyway, it's been a long time since i last blogged. i guess i'll start again? i dunno. i don't think so many people come to my blog anymore and i like it that way. so... if you know about this blog it's fine, and i don't mind at all. but don't anyhow spread around k?(:
