@Real Music,
THat Whitney HOuston music video posted above. That's exactly what I mean. I know the lyrics to the entire song but the part that spoke to me
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill me need
A lonely place to be
so I learned to depend on me.
Only, it's not really in the cards for me. It's in the cards for other people, such as this girl:
A former coworker recently graduated high school. When she was in school, she really looked up to one of her teachers. That particular teacher is friends with all her students on Facebook bc she's cool like that and her school didn't have policy against that. So on Facebook, that teacher posted on my coworker's timeline saying she missed her in class. My coworker replied "You're still my favorite teacher, I promise. I'm taking your class next year." Several months later, her teacher wished my coworker a happy birthday. My coworker replied, "Thanks! I love you and I miss you."
And my nephew:
I have a 4 year old nephew who is loving and nice to everyone. He was with his parents at a bank once and grabbed 2 suckers. When his parents admonished him that he should only take one, my nephew explained he wants to give the other one to his preschool teacher. When he did that, the teacher was happy that he liked her so much.
Would that be equivalent to me buying my fast food supervisor Mountain Dews? And that Sour Patch Kids? And Goldfish? Because that's what the HELL I did multiple times, just like my nephew did the same thing a few times.
