good from bad Posted by poolboyjames on June 20, 2010 at 6:54 AM comments (0)i was thinking about blessings in disguise
ok i'm just gnna share one i had back when i was in like 8th grade ok back then i remember i was cool with most people but since i was black (the only black male there) some people hated on me so at the time every morning at school i used to go to the computer lab to play computer games.. however after a while some other guys started to come into the lab and say racist stuff to me everyday it used to really piss me off because they would come up to me and say fighting words but they'd never fight me.. like no one ever touched me they'd just come up in a group of guys, stand over me and talk sh*t they were all older than me and all taller than me and i was always outnumbered i stayed going to the lab but after a while something snapped and i just said.. u know what? i'm over it.. i decided it just wasn't worth it to go in the computer lab anymore and that day i remember i didn't feel any sense of ease about not going.. i really felt inside like wtf am i gnna do every morning now? .. so i started walking around trying to figure something out but then i noticed this guy i had seen before but who i never spoke to he was a friend of a friend.. but he was quiet so i never knew what he was like (btw the mutual friend we had, had recently moved away) he was walking fast so i caught up with him and i was like what's up man and i asked him a few questions while i walked with him he was weird lol.. like i remember he never looked at me he just kept walking really fast and i just kept up with him, and we were talking after a while i was like man wtf are u doing don't u see we've just gone in a circle like twice? like where are u going? he was like.. this is what i do every morning, i just walk aroundthe school like this kid was literally like powerwalking around the schooleveryday with no real aim or purpose.. like i got the feeling he wanted to talk to people but he may not have known what to say to people, so he just walked around through crowds of people everyday.. i don't know what his deal was, but i remember he had a really good vibe about himself he was just like the weird dude u like for no reason lol.. like after hanging with him for a while i noticed some people had nicknamed him smiley cuz he was always smiling for like no reason lol so from then on him and i were good friends.. him and i became cool right under everyone's nose and i ended up being the one to kinda open him up to everyone else.. i remember before me he was just a weird dude, that no one talked to... but after me.. u know like after i introduced him to my best friend (who was still in the computer lab enjoying not being black) and after i introduced him to the people we used to play basketball with and eat lunch with.. he became like a whole lot more cool, normal, and recognizable in the school i helped bring him from 'smiley' to being known by his actual name n ish LOL he became my best friend really quickly and i still talk to him (even tho he lives in michigan) to this day we did a lot together and had a lot of fun and it all goes back to that day i decided i didn't want to put up with the racist mob anymore lol so overall those racist people were like a blessing in disguise cuz they pushed me out of my comfort zone and something really cool happened because of it.. so sometimes its like we have to remember a negative situation may present itself to try and get u to a more positive one sometimes u kno? peaCe
