My friend Mhena shows me love whenever she texts me good morning or good night. She does this
routinely, every morning and night. I really appreciate it because sometimes I’ll be struggling with homework, and
I’ll get a text from Mhena telling me “goodnight”. It’s a reminder that someone’s thinking about me, and someone’s caring about me. I really appreciate Mhena reaching out to me like that.
My parents have taught me how to love by talking to older folk more often. Growing up my family would always go to the YMCA, and my mom would always ask me and my sister to talk to the senior citizens. She knew that some of them were lonely or wanted to just talk to someone. Now whenever I see older folk I like to stop by and have a conversation, or just say hi. I’ve learned a lot just from a short conversation with some of them.
Last week I went to my teacher’s funeral, and it was hard. Going to his wake, and looking at photos of my
teacher made me sad. At the end of the funeral I ended up spending around 30 minutes talking to my old religion
teacher about the funeral, high school, and my sister. It made the funeral less sad. It was beautiful to see all of Mr. Fischer’s students at the funeral, and get to catch up with friends I hadn’t seen in months. It really allowed me to appreciate where I’ve come from, and what I have.
I have a friend who’s a boy, and he likes cats. I’ve seen him made fun of for liking cats or more girly things. It’s really upsetting to see because nothing he likes is wrong, he just doesn’t fit into the social norm. He’s a very strong person though, and doesn’t pay anybody’s mockery any mind. He knows what he enjoys is okay.
At the end of a hard day of school, I came home and was very upset. It was late at night, and my mom
joined me in walking around the lake in our backyard for hours. She talked to me and listened to me. She
made something that felt hard, not so unbearable. I’m grateful I have someone to be there for me when I’m
at my lowest.
