Back, By Popular Demand

One thing that I absolutely hate is feeling forgotten. One thing I absolutely love is feeling appreciated and important. One thing that happened after not blogging for almost a month, was a numerous amount of people asking when I was posting again. This felt even more amazing and made me think about a few things going on in my life right now.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in a coffee shop and writing before taking on another night shift at work. Most times, I am so focused on a scene I am writing or deciding which song to play next, so I usually do not pay attention to anyone who walks in. This night, I was typing away and became distracted. I saw a teacher that I had in high school, which was seven…yes seven, years ago. I think I have completely changed since then so when I see a teacher, or someone I graduated with, the situation is usually greeted with a smile and then followed with the awkward, yet unavoidable small talk and catch up session, or completely avoided. This situation was different. I loved this teacher when I had her, but after seven years, it’s hard to tell if she even still knew my name.

We made eye contact and I pulled my ear buds out and we caught up on life. I told her about my the drastic, disappointing yet expected turns that life has thrown at me since graduating college and the tragedy that was moving away from my hometown, then moving back. I also told her about the book I am writing. We talked for probably 15 minutes and before she ordered her coffee, she told me how great it was to run into each other and she can’t wait to see what my future has and that she was proud of me. I know people say something to that extenet so often that it tends to become routine, but I know she truly meant every word she said. She made me feel like I had made a positive impression on her and she made me feel important, even after so much time has passed.

Sometimes, all it takes is to just talk and listen to make everything feel like it’s back on track and forget the petty stuff bringing you down. Avoiding poeple and situations isn’t always an answer either, because sometimes, at least in my sitaution, I had no idea I was the one that left a memorable impression. We are all important.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

    First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick
    question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious
    to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts
    out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
    or tips? Kudos!
