Looking for new friends!

Hi! My name is John Radavich and I’m 27. Currently I am in search of people to talk to and make new friends. My situation is a bit hard though. Sadly I am at the moment serving a life sentence in prison in Washington state. I am working to over turn my sentence but it is a very slow thing. Which is why i come here looking for people who would want to talk =D! I am a giant nerd and i am a lover of all things marvel, DC, DW, Disney, anime, supernatural, video games, fantasy, and so much other stuff! I have lots of ways to communicate like writing letters, there is an app/website for emailing inmates, I can make calls, and even have video visits if you are on my visitors list! I know a lot of people have had a really hard time with now seeing friends and family because of covid and things like that and that’s what it’s like all the time here and its even worse now because of covid. So if you want or even need someone to talk to then I am here to tell you that it will be okay and you are not alone =)! So let’s talk and be new friends! If you want to get in touch just message this account or comment and please reblog so I have a better chance of having people to talk to=)! Tank you and have a great day!!!

I met him at sakura con about 10 years ago and he is such an amazing friend to so many people. He loves D&D and even DMs some games in the prison when he can. He is also a great cosplayer, my favorite of his cosplays being Flynn Rider from Tangled which fits him so well. If you want someone to talk to please give him a chance. You can contact me if you want to talk to him! 💜💜💜

STORY TIME:

I work in a decent sized, local, indie bookstore. It’s a great job 99% of the time and a lot of our customers are pretty neat people. Any who, middle of the day this little old lady comes up. She’s lovably kooky. She effuses how much she loves the store and how she wishes she could spend more time in it but her husband is waiting in the car (OH! I BETTER BUY HIM SOME CHOCOLATE!), she piles a bunch of art supplies on the counter and then stops and tells me how my bangs are beautiful and remind her of the ocean (“Wooooosh” she says, making a wave gesture with her hand)

Ok. I think to myself. Awesomely happy, weird little old ladies are my favorite kind of customer. They’re thrilled about everything and they’re comfortably bananas. I can have a good time with this one. So we chat and it’s nice.

Then this kid, who’s been up my counter a few times to gather his school textbooks, comes up in line behind her (we’re connected to a major university in the city so we have a lot of harried students pass through). She turns around to him and, out of nowhere, demands that he put his textbooks on the counter. He’s confused but she explains that she’s going to buy his textbooks.

He goes sheetrock white. He refuses and adamantly insists that she can’t do that. It’s like, $400 worth of textbooks. She, this tiny old woman, bodily takes them out of her hands, throws them on the counter and turns to me with a intense stare and tells me to put them on her bill. The kid at this point is practically in tears. He’s confused and shocked and grateful. Then she turns to him and says “you need chocolate.” She starts grabbing handfuls of chocolates and putting them in her pile.

He keeps asking her “why are you doing this?” She responds “Do you like Harry Potter?" and throws a copy of the new Cursed Child on the pile too.

Finally she’s done and I ring her up for a crazy amount of money. She pays and asks me to please give the kid a few bags for his stuff. While I’m bagging up her merchandise the kid hugs her. We’re both telling her how amazing she is and what an awesome thing she’s done. She turns to both of us and says probably one of the most profound, unscripted things I’ve ever had someone say:

"It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.”

The kid thanks her again and leaves. I tell her again how awesome she is. She’s staring out the door after him and says to me: “My son is a homeless meth addict. I don’t know what I did. I see that boy and I see the man my son could have been if someone had chosen to be kind to him at just the right time.”

I’ve bagged up all her stuff and at this point am super awkward and feel like I should say something but I don’t know what. Then she turns to me and says: I wish I could have bangs like that but my darn hair is just too curly.“ And leaves.

And that is the story of the best customer I’ve ever had. Be kind to somebody today.

You are never going to run out of books to read because there are always stories waiting to be told, and there are always going to be books you haven’t read yet that will change your life as they unfold.

You always say loving me will be the end of you.

Loving you will forever be the beginning of me.

I’m really not that different from the scared little girl who used to lie awake at night pondering the future. I forgive too often. I hope naively. I still end up getting hurt by the realty of the world. And I cannot seem to change.

just because you don’t look like somebody who you think is attractive doesn’t mean you aren’t attractive. flowers are pretty but so are christmas lights and they look nothing alike
