I read something yesterday that said you should be careful what you say to people beside you never know what particular thing might stick with someone for the rest of their lives. So Im gonna post a few quotes from people that affected change in some way into my life Ill try to do a few a day. If you dont make the list. Give it time. its not your stars fading our your worlds colliding. Its simply endorphins leaving your body. Just find yourself another chocolate bar. -Craig Le May Craig said this to me to help me get over an ex girlfriend. St the time it was exactly what I needed to hear. At night though I thought about how truly poetic it was. That a person could literally suffer withdrawals from happiness. Years later I would find out how utterly wrong he was when I met my wife. Sometimes you cant find another chocolate bar. Because they didnt make more than one. You like Sonic the hedgehog? -Emory Palmer. This seems funny. But until E.j. I never had any black friends. I mean to say I felt distant from them. Not in any kind of wierd way, but as a kid you tend to stick to whats familiar. Then with this one sentence I realized how alike we are. And as I grew, and spent more time with him, I found out our cultures are truly the only separating factor. In one sentence I became friends with a friend I would keep for over a decade later. And I would get to meet one of the warmest, nicest families I have ever had the good fortune to meet. I dont want your promise. I want your word. On your honor. -Jay Stoudt In my family we dont break promises. Its a big deal. So when my dad said this to me, I realized how serious a mans honor should be. Its not fairy tale nonsense. Its not something you just throw around. Your word is who you are. To this day I couldnt tell you what I have my word on. I just remember the intensity in my dads eyes. And I knew then as I know now, I couldnt just say it and not mean it. To this day I have never broken my word. To be continued later...
