Today, overall, was a good day. I hugged and kissed a lot of people I missed. Whenever I come back to town, I am always greeted by someone I love and miss... Today there were several. The unique part about going away for school is coming and going. Seeing who is going to say "welcome home, I missed you." and the person (there's always one..) who says "I never came back as often as you." (and you know that means, "why are you here?".
Well, I went by my old high school today and I was surprisingly greeted by the staff with warm hugs and friendly eyes. It was joyous. Who knew I would have been so welcomed. I only went to that school for 2 years. Maybe those 2 years were more impact full than I though.
I was asked by one teacher (who I completely adore) a series of interesting questions. These questions at first seem generic... But upon reflection, very meaningful. I will repeat them and my answers now. "how's life?" - (me) "good. "how's school?" - "great." "how's music?" - "even better." "how's the voice?" - "good... Still there." "hows the album? - "in progress." (and finally) "how's Jesus? - "amazing!"
See, weren't those really simple? Didn't they require simple answers? Yeah. My old teacher, I might be able to call him a friend, asked these to me from the most sincere place in his heart. I could tell. After asking, we didn't stay and weep and catch up... We smiled at each other and after a few more words, said goodbye. This by far was the best conversation I had all day. (it comes close to a quick one that I had with a 4-year old... But that kid has a real grip on my heart.) it's good to be loved. It doesn't have to be mushy... In fact I don't like that stuff. but today (or whenever you're reading this) show someone you love, that you're still loving them by caring to ask the simple things.
Discovering my dream,
Amk
