Reminisce of my 1st L () \/ |= .....

Every time I see you
It's like I get this feeling
A feeling that makes me wonder
What could have been?
Where would we be?
Were we just meant to be for a season, why not eternity?

Every time I see you
I reminisce of the times we shared

The many times I'd rush from class to catch you on AIM
The countless nights we'd spend on the phone
The " you hang up...no you hang up" type of phone conversations
At times we'd run out of stuff to talk about
But we were both content..
Just to hear you breathe was enough.

Every time I see you
I reminisce of that feeling...
You were the very first thought of each day
As well as the last voice I heard at night..
It was like you were made for me
And I was made for you...
Truly inseparable (I thought..or felt rather)

Every time I see you
I reminisce of the day when the season changed...
The leaves started to wither...
We drifted apart in the wind of destiny...

AND I...

Was left with these feelings and bittersweet memories...
Tried to hold on and resist being blown away...

AND YOU...

Seemed to have spread your wings and fly briskly in the sky...
In time I eventually moved on and learned how to fly again...

What was I to learn?
What were these feelings?


Was it LOVE...?

The Good Samaritan.....Lesson Learned

Okay, so I kinda got into a little fender bender awhile back (kinda my fault...but whatever) and the insurance didn't cover the cost to fix my car because it was my fault...blah blah blah... So I've taken my car around to several shops to get estimates and the cheapest one was for about $1600....So yea it's been about three , four months and I still have this dent in my front fender...but hey the car is still drivable, just aesthetically, it's not a good look :-/...

I can remember the day of the accident, I kinda felt like something was going to happen. I even remember praying to God and just thanking Him for my car and a myraid of other things. Then about a hour later I got into a fender bender. Luckily, no one was hurt and both parties were able to drive away. So I'm thankful to God for that even moreso for allowing my car to still be "drivable".


So one sunny Friday afternoon, I'm in the drive thru at Wendy's about to pull off with my food, and there is this guy (maybe of latin descent) standing at the end of the drive thru. He tells me he could fix my car for 300 dollars and that he worked at a body repair shop. It sounded like a deal....I mean 300 vs 1600 dollars... I told him that I didn't have 300 at the moment, and if he would just give me his card then I would bring my car by the shop at a later date. He then said he would get the dent out for 60 dollars.... So I pull over and then seconds later this small little green corolla pulls up beside me with two of the guy's "workers". They get out and begin to work on my car(they did an awful job), and then I tell them I don't have 60 dollars and I would have to go to an atm. Then the guy says that it wasn't necessary, and asked if I could buy him and his two friend's some shoes.

He points to this little discount store ( the sign read $13.99 shoes) and me being stupid, nonclarivoyant, and Mr Good Samaritan I agreed. We walked into the store and these guys started shopping like it was Christmas! They put all these clothes and shoes on the register and then went back shopping in the store. So I ask the cashier how much was everything on the register so far, and the cashier responded $98....So then I tell the guys that it was too much, and that I was leaving. As I got in my car, they come out the store and tell me I need to pay them and I responded that I didn't have any money and pulled off ....


I'm aware that this was probably one of the most dumbest things I've done in life, because it could've turned out much differently. I mean there is nothing wrong with being a Good Samaritan, but I know now that I should have been/need to be more discerning of people. I could have really made the evening news, and at what cost? To save a couple hundred dollars????


Needless to say, I call it a Lesson Learned!
