mistaken.

“When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren't grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.”
-Cynthia Ozick



I love to do nice thing for people.  Especially the ones I care about and love the most.  I love to see people smile and get that glimmering look in their eyes.  I feel like I'm on top of the world because I get to see other people light up.


The thing that upsets me the most is when people take someone for granted.  Were not just talking about taking me for granted, but people in general.  There are so many people that go out of their way, everyday just to help someone out.  Whether is money, food, clothes, or just plain putting a smile on their face.  These people dont ask for anything in return, except maybe a 'thank you.'  It just really sucks to go out of your way to make someone happy, but they take you for granted.  They use you until they no longer need you.  It's like, they'll just keep wanting more and more of what you have until its all gone.  But once its all gone, so are they. 




All I ask, is to appreciate who is in your life.  Whether its your parents, your family, your spouse- boyfriend/girlfriend, friends, and even acquaintances because you never know what could happen.  Dont ever take someone you love for granted because you could wake up tomorrow and they could be gone.
