~A Simple Hello!!!!~

"A Simple Hello is like that feeling you get when the one person you thought didn't notice you says hello.

"A Simple Hello is when some stranger says hello and you say hello back. Hello is a simple way to show kindess, respect, and just to bring a smile to someones face. There are many ways to say hello.

"Is there a simple hello that could chance someones life forever? I have always caught myself making fun of someone for sitting by themselves at lunch, or walking alone in the halls ofthe school, or just because they dressed diferent.

"Then one day I had compassion for those who walked the halls alone not smiling, Sat by themselves not eating. I hated the ones who made fun. I did'nt say anything. I hoped someone else would. I thought someone else would stop and think what pain they must be going through. Once again I thought..

"Finally one day out of the blue I thought what if I took a few seconds out of my day to say a simple hello to that person walking alone, A simple hello to the eating alone. and I did...

"I felt good to say that simple word, the word hello. The hello to the person walking alone walked away with a smile. The hello to he person eating alone started eating.

"Who would have thought that a simple hello would do so much.  I wouldn't have but then I remember how a Simple Hello changed my life forever.......

Shoot for the moon cause if you miss you'll still end up in the *stars*!!!

Don't tell me that you love me unless you mean it, Beacuse I might do so

i work at a pizza place and we get a lot of rude customers. it always takes me totally by suprise when someone is like 'hi how are you doing?' over the phone. usually their just like 'yeah i want this and this'. and they can tell im suprised to its so funny.

Love can sometimes be like magic, but magic can sometimes..just be illusion
