Wowzers, it's been over a month since I've last blogged. I've turned 19, so yay me cus I'm one year closer to drinking alcohol legally.
So at work yesterday, this guy by the name of Joaquin that works in the kitchen told me and my sister that his brother had called him earlier and told him that he needs to go back to Mexico cus both his parents are really sick. I'm not the type to cry, but I am very sympathetic towards a lot of people, especially lighthearted people like this guy. ¬hing really breaks my heart more than to see a grown man fight his tears with a smile simply because he doesn't want anyone else to see or feel how much he's hurting inside. &it sucks, because I wanted to comfort him, but he speaks very little English &I speak very little Spanish. I wish there was more I could've done for him but I simply touched his should and hoped that everything will be better. Well I'm not blogging simply to talk about things that I wish I could've done cus I know that's beyond my control. Honestly, I don't know why I'm blogging. I've shared many experiences with this guy that was worth blogging about, but I never bothered to do so. I guess I never really saw how much of a difference he made in my everyday life. I mean, yes we've shared all but a few words with one another, but to watch him struggle everyday and still keep a smile on his face just warms my heart. At the same time, it does break my heart to see somebody with a heart as big as his to be in so much pain. I know that all his struggles are learning experiences for him, as with anybody else, but damn how much pain does one have to endure in order to find happiness? &that goes for everyone else in the world. I know that I'll eventually see something good come out of this, as with everything else, but it's just the process that's always the most difficult yet most rewarding. I just wish things were simpler, but I know they aren't. So here we all are, trying to get through every obstacle that comes our way and somehow ending up victorious cus here we STILL are, right? I will never forget that man, because he has touched my heart in many ways possible, &I wish him the best in life. He has helped me see the good in everyone, and for that I am grateful.
