So before I get onto my topic of conversation for today I want to apologies for my lack of posts recently! I know its been a while, but the way I see it is that this blog is all about living your life and that's what I've been doing! And there is a lot to talk about! I've also had my head under books recently so i'm about to put my life on hold for school work, hopefully it'll be worth it.
So this morning I went for a walk. I quite often do this when i'm feeling stressed, or if i want to clear my head, or just to relax before i start my school work. Just as i was on my way home i passed three people in deep conversation. Two of them were obviously married and i recognised the garden they were standing at the bottom of to be theirs. The Third of them looked like a friend. As i passed i took out my headphones and good mornings were exchanged. Just as i was about to walk on one of the ladies said "We see you walk down here all the time! Its such a lovely day to do it" i smiled and replied " Its is such a lovely day! I walk when ever i'm about to do my school work"
This then erupted into conversation with them asking about my school work and congratulating me on passing my car test (I didn't acutally say anything about it they had seen me driving) and talking about me passing my bike test and my life in general. It turns out the couple have lived in that house for 18 years and have watched me grow up. Seen me climbing trees, get stuck, playing, saw me leave for my first day of school, see me going to my nans, see me fall out with friends and make up. They've seen me change my whole life and up until today i've never talked to them once. This may seem all quite odd to some people, but i live next to OAP counsel homes so these people just take notice of lives. Its odd to think that they've cared about me and my life for my whole life. Have been happy for me when i passed my car test, wondered if i going to uni soon, thought about how old i was now and i never knew.
I guess we just assume people don't see or people just don't care when in fact they do. If i hadn't of gone out today i may never have talked to them, but that wouldn't have stopped them caring.
People care even when you don't see it.
People watch you grow and change.
People can surprise you.
People care even when you don't see it. Remember that.
