Day 2 on this adventure of blogging everyday in April. So far so good. :)
Something that has been a weird encouragement to me lately is watching this dad interact with his daughters. Everyday he comes and picks them up from school and you can just see how much he loves them. He pateintly waits for them to finish coloring a tree or watches them play with the legos. He asks them about their day and actually listens to what they tell him. It's obvious that he treats his girls like princesses. I love to watch it, because it's just so beautiful. That maybe the sappy female coming out in me but Oh well, it's wonderful.
I have decided that being a girl that skateboards is like the hottest thing ever. Nothing says, I'm Awesome like a chick boarder. I see this girl on campus with her board and I just think it's fabulous. I want to be her friend, so she can teach me her ways of awesomeness. I bet she is beating off the boys with a stick :P
That's such an odd saying. "beating 'em off with a stick" Who came up with that? was it someone that was so attractive that people were following them around to the point where they couldn't handle it anymore and started using a weapon so they would go away. You know, I don't think I would mind this haha. Well I take that back, if it was a bunch of creepy guys that I didn't care for at all it would probably bother me.

I have been thinking about those people that push others away. Why do they do this? Is it to see who will actually fight to be in their lives? Do they honestly want to be left alone all the time? Wouldn't that lifestyle be incredibly sad. Also, how long does someone have to fight before they realize they want to be a part of their life?
Food for thought.

I don't think it's sappy at all to find that dad's love for his daughter's beautiful. I think everyone who claims to have a heart should find it beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHmm...I was pondering the stick phrase as I read this..and really, that can't be good at all. If there were a bunch of men who you could beat off with a stick they would have to be very weak...or dog-like...or both? OR it would have to be a REAAALLY big stick. In which case the woman would be pretty buff. Which is also as awesome as riding a skateboard...unless she's just TOO buff...That was my first reaction, at least.
You're lovely :)
P.S. For some reason I feel like you would enjoy this...I hope so. If not, that's okay too, just let me know :)

The story of the dad is so cute!! It makes me smile and daydream about how beautifully God will treat us in Heaven!! ... :)
ReplyDeleteI think people push others away for a variety of reasons. One reason is because people are introverts. Sometimes being around a lot of noise, activity, and people is painful for introverts. Introverts are often more sensitive to noise. Introverts might have so many anxious thoughts swimming in their brains, that they would prefer to be alone to being around others.
Another guess for why people push others away: pain. Some kind of emotional pain from the past. Maybe due to family or some other situation. Maybe due to negative feelings about themselves. Whatever the case, being around others might seem to painful or they might not be used to it. They may have lived dysfunctionally for so long that that's all they know. They may have no desire to live in a way that is normal to most people.
Those are just some random thoughts... Your questions definitely are good food for thought.
