When I was in primary school there was the plastic bracelets that came in different colours, the blue one was rare, your peers thought you were cool if you had one. I didn't have many and I really wanted some more. These bracelet were the cool things at school everyone had them even the boys. I had so many but I thought I didn't have enough blue ones yet.
Tessa* liked Brad* and she told me about it, I was the only one that knew about it. It was in grade 4 I think or maybe 5 or 3 I can't be sure. She told me to tell know one.
Brad* had a blue bracelet, everyone knew he also liked Tessa*, and he knew that I knew who she liked. I knew this would a good chance to get another blue bracelet. So I told him the Tessa* liked him and he gave me the blue bracelet in return.
I was happy that I'd got another bracelet but I didn't know what the cost would be. I was only young and I had ruined the trust between my good friend. Seen we were only young though we got over things quickly. But I learnt that nothing is worth as much as someones trust for you.
Learn from my mistake to stop it from ever happening from you.

Yeah, we learn things in life at an early age sometimes don't we?
ReplyDeleteIt's getting late, I'm a bit tired and when I get tired I get a little silly. So before I get silly I will say that was a good story Anna. Unfortunately we don't always learn from things like that but we do learn to trust again.
I remember I was in Grade 2 and I had a crush on a girl named Shauna. Keep in mind this was like a thousand years ago. I can't believe I still remember her name, because I can't even recall what I had for breakfast last Tuesday.
Anyway, I wrote her a love letter and asked the kid behind me to pass it to her. Wouldn't you know it, he read it out loud to the whole class! "Dear Shauna, I think you're really pretty. Would you marry me?"
Okay, so I made the marriage part up. I was taking the school bus at the time, so I don't think we would have gotten very far on our honeymoon on a yellow bus with lunch money.
But there goes trust. I was so embarassed I wanted to crawl into a corner and die. Oh, and then beat the crap out of him. No wait, FIRST I wanted to beat the crap out of him. Because if I crawled into a corner and died I wouldn't have been able to afterwards.
So let that be a lesson to you. If you want to do something, do it before you die. Because afterwards there's a PRETTY GOOD chance you won't be able to. Unless you're allowed to beat the crap out of people in Heaven. :) But given a choice between that or making love all day and not getting tired I don't think I'd be picking up boxing gloves anytime soon. Now THAT sounds like Heaven.
Then when I was in Grade 4 I really liked this girl Jessica. I even remember her last name. My friend Shaun also liked her. Every time I paid attention to Jessica she wanted nothing to do with me. But when I ignored her she wanted to talk to me.
I remember asking my mom about it and she basically said that's how it goes. So I've been trying to figure out women ever since and I STILL haven't. But that's what I love about women. The mystery.
I don't think men and women are meant to understand each other, I think we're just meant to appreciate each other.
What do you think Annalisa?

I love true stories that make us grow.
ReplyDeleteI believe your comments is true but I also think that underneath everything that we cover our selves wiht I think our partner knows the truth and understands us even more so than ourselves.
But that is with your true love not just any man and woman.
