You make me...
Hey everyone! Yesterday I skipped breakfast because I was running late, so I was sick after chem. Had a massive headache after inhaling zinc and sulphuric acid fumes. I went to Box Hill to meet my mum and get a massage but I skipped the massage and had lunch instead. I think I must have ate too fast, because as soon as I got home I threw it all up. What a waste of sushi. Well at least I got to taste it all again...
Thanks heaps Chan for making sure I got home okay!
Today I spent the first double in maths laughing at Tara and a certain someone. It was all good-natured though. So cute! I told her the real reason I threw up, because I had to think of her making out with this certain someone, but I was just kidding ^^ everyone knows Dylan likes you!
And now for something completely different. I got a forward from my uncle and I thought it was some pretty valuable advice so I'm going to post it here:
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 note.
"Who would like this $20 note?" he asked the audience. Hands started going up.
"I'm going to give this $20 note to one of you, but first, let me do this". He proceeded to crumple up the note.
"Who still wants it?" The hands were still up.
"What if I do this?" With that, the speaker dropped the note to the ground and started grinding it into the floor with his shoe. He picked the $20 up, crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?" he asked. Still, the hands were in the air.
No matter what he did to the money, people still wanted it. It did not decrease it value, it was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the choices we make and the situations that arise. We feel as though we are worthless, but that is completely untrue! Just like the money, no matter what happens, or what may happen, we never lose our value. Dirty, clean, crumpled or firmly pressed, we are still PRICELESS to those who love us.
We are SPECIAL!
With love,
Mel
