Wow... Everything that happens and everyone we meet... it is all for a reason. & I am damn glad that this boy Aaron messaged me. He's helped me to sort some things out that have been bothering me and has given me a new sense of direction. To think... a Singaporean was the one to help me feel pride in my heritage and country.
I have hated America and the way things are in the world for most of my life. I have watched so much bs in the news and heard so much.. witnessed so much hated, greed, and negativity in this world and had become sickened by it. So much so that I was ready to simply turn my back on it all and say screw it! I still hate the way the world is today... but nothing will EVER get better if those people like myself who hate the world simply turn our backs against it.
If I don't like the way things are, then I should do what I can to change them. If I don't like my country's reputation within the world, then as an American I should work hard to try and change it. If I don't like how my country is, then as an American I should do my part to try and change it! For the very first time in my life, I finally understand the meaning of patriotism and having pride in one's country. I finally understand my duty.. what it is that I am mean to do in this world.
From now on.. no more bitching.. no more griping.. no more complaining! I will no longer sit back on the side lines and grumble about how horrible the game is nor how shitty the players are.. I am going to stand up and step onto the field myself and knock some heads together until things are straightened out more to my liking! Like I have always told myself and those around me.. "If you don't like your life, then change it!" Well.. now the same goes for the world.. If I don't like the world as it is, then I should do my part to try and change it!
If I don't.. then my children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will have to deal with the same shitty bs that I've had to deal with my whole life and there is no way in HELL that I am going to allow that! I swore.. I swore! That I would NEVER allow my children to go through what I have gone through! But in order to make sure that that doesn't happen.. I had better start working now in order to change the way things are!
Thank you Aaron.... I owe you one...... this is one thing I shall never forget!
