WHEN YOU THINK SOMEONE IS COOL

I made a dude a shirt. It was fun and silly and he inspired me, so I did it. As I was putting everything together, I thought to myself " he may read too much into this". I'm sending this across a border. The shipping stress alone is cause to drink. I started to over analyze and wonder if I should shelf the idea. Does he deserve the thought. Then I reminded myself about what I was taught about caring and personal relationships by some very wise and kind people. When you can care about someone with the pureness of not wanting anything other than to do something nice for them, that's pretty rad. You don't want anything but to make that person happy with you actions. When I was younger, I had someone who felt this way about me, but I wasn’t strong enough to care back and be vulnerable. Age, ignorance, fear and shitty parents prevented the walls from coming down until my late 20's. Our relationship was a casualty of war. My fears superseded my love and I was a dick. I will never be a dick again.

I'm posting this to remind people to do nice things for people they like. Don't be concerned with how they will react. If they don't feel the same way, you have shared some of your energy with them and perhaps they will remain life long friends and have an impact on your life in a way you never imagined. Maybe it will let them know you really think they are awesome. Perhaps it will inspire them to do something for you, go out on a limb and do something crazy they never would have otherwise. Regardless of which way it goes, it's a pure feeling and action. It can only drive positivity at the end of the day. It sounds lame, but I think it's true. The less thinking and more feeling and acting we do in 2011, the better off we will be!
