Late night ramblings

Sorry blog world, it's been awhile.
It's not you, it's me. Honest.

Moving on...

Speech banquet was tonight! Brought back a lot of good memories, and a lot of nostalgia at that too.
But it was fun seeing all the kids get the awards. And yes I teared up a couple of times seeing the coaches tear up. I'm emotional ok? I'm always crying when speech is involved. It's like an involuntary reflex. And when I cry, I can make other people cry. Just ask people from NFL's last year...

So then we decided (the coaches, though I am not really a coach...) to go out for drinks.

So naturally I had a pepsi and a water. Pretty tipsy if you ask me...

It was really a lot of fun, just to sit down, relax, and just talk and be with each other.
As I was driving home, an ironic or paradoxical thought came to my mind.

One of the coaches, who shall rename nameless, really influenced my life the last three years of my life, and I couldn't imagine where my life would be without that person. Yet after tonight, I realized how little I really and truly know about that person.

Seems...interesting to think that someone could make such a huge impact in our lives, yet we know little about what makes them ... them.

I guess it was the nature of the relationship, as an older adult usually does not go on and on about their childhood memories, and reveal all their secrets.

If they do...that's creepy and probably not a good thing. Just saying... You might want to call the show to catch a predator...

But I guess now I get to learn what makes this person who they are.

At first, it's odd. But then I become thankful.

Now I can begin to understand all the quirks and why that person does what they do. Relieving, yet then a twinge of regret resides now too, because I feel that I've been too judgmental, not even trying to understand their past.

This is a really pointless story, but I guess the moral of the story is seek to understand rather than to judge. Who we are, our personality, and our actions, are a reflection of our environment.

We learn what we live, and we live what we learn.

So before you quickly pass judgment on someone, just remember that sentence.

Well I should be off to bed, since I do have finals. Whoops...
