A fortune cookie to be exact. On July 11th or 12th my parentals (mom and step-dad) decided to order Chinese food for dinner. Meanwhile, I was at rehearsal for a summer-stock production (for non-theatre people, "summer-stock" in this context just means a show done during the summer) of Footloose. Anyway the night before I had experienced a tiny breakdown (aka I was hysterically crying in my room all alone, due to life being a gigantic BITCH). At the end of the aforementioned breakdown I proceeded to beg (and I do mean BEGG) God (Catholic kid...please don't hold that against me, I am not even a very good Catholic to be honest)for some sort of sign that He is there and hasn't just abandoned me to face the BITCH that we all call life by myself. I said I would be on the lookout the following day and all I needed was a glimmer of "hey, it's all good I got you" and I would be satisfied. So, back to the Chinese food...the day goes by, and I get no sign that I have not been abandoned. Until that damn Chinese food...now I didn't eat any of it, but when I got home I was ranting to my step-dad about one thing or other, when he cracked open a fortune cookie and started laughing. I the very last thing I said before he started laughing was, "People suck"not unusual for a teenager to say. But he laughs and hands me the fortune he has just opened which says, ":) You take an Optimistic view of life :)" I kid you not the smiley faces and all. Now naturally this development didn't stop my rant at all. In fact, I proceeded to find a better fortune among the 3 cookies that were provided for my mom, step-dad, and me. So I open the second and it reads, ":) You take an Optimistic view of life :)," I just assume its a coincidence, then I open the third, which gives me the fortune, ":) You take an Optimistic view of life :)" That's right I asked God for a sign and He sends me fortune cookies...go figure. Then about 3 or 4 days ago I bought a bag of Dove chocolate, opened the first wrapper, and Dove chocolate always has cute little encouragement quotes and such. But I was having a rough day and I unwrapped the first piece of candy and the wrapper says, "Don't give up on yourself or your dreams" which probably wouldn't have been so strange except that I was thinking about quitting college, and those frickin' fortune cookies. So now apparently God has chosen to communicate with me through junk food, of course.
Inspirational Quote for the Day:
Don't be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. You don't have to live forever, you just have to live.
That's all I gotta say.
