"Hi again!" to all the people that don't know me, nor care to know me.
I won't waste anybody's time anymore with crap like the stuff I've written before, but doubtful anyone will care.
So enuffa' the teary-eyed reunion.. This also, isn't very good, but it's a step in the right direction, I'm hoping. Feel free to rip me a new one, I need the criticism.
"No Worries."
The 3rd grade was simply a very stressful time in my young life. Mrs. Boyle, my teacher, was on me all of the time about my overdue vocabulary word sentences; I hadn't really done a stellar job on that darned fingerpainting project, and the schoolyard bully needed lunch money. Much worries.
I used to walk around with the weight of the world on my shoulders. Imagine that. A 3rd grader, a kid who's supposed to be discovering the world around him, finding joy in every little thing... going through his mid-life crisis at the age of 8. Everything just overwhelmed me. It was hard to function at times; I would wake up at night in cold sweats, tears in my eyes, from yet another nightmare about those vocabulary sentences. The Social Worker who took up my case wasn't very about sure why I was so stressed all of the time. Nobody could figure me out; I couldn't articulate what was bothering me to anyone. Much worries.
And then one day my beloved Aunt Barbara who, tragically, had passed from this world in 2001, saw my plight and lent me a hand. With my mother's permission, on a gorgeous June day, Aunt B. took me out of school for a surprise trip to the beach. That day, all the worries I've ever had in my life, and all the worries I will ever have were put into perspective. That day changed me, for the better. What happened on the ride to the beach is what has impacted me so strongly to this day. My aunt, being the free spirit that she was, decided to take a scenic back route to the particular beach we were going to. Along the way, there was a small farm with its livestock fences lining the road. Aunt B. pulled the car over, took me by the arm, walked over to the fence, pointed to the animals and said: "Look, Danny. Do you see those goats over there? Look at those goats! What do those goats have to worry about, Danny? Nothing! How beautiful is that? Now, when you ever feel like the world is coming down on you, and you just can't deal with it anymore, think about those goats. No Worries."
Those words: "No Worries" have become my personal mantra as I go through life. That simple, profound saying is the one thing that has made me realize that even though life can be tough sometimes, it will almost always assuredly, get better.. No Worries.
Now, have at me!
