scattered memories

Memories of the past, written stories and random thoughs

[happysheeppanda]

It is impressive how much you can achieve just by “doing it”.

For example I remember when I was still living at home and I was like 19 and really really wanted a sword but obviously my mom was like “Nope. Can’t do that. What if a thief comes in? They could use your sword to hurt us.” And I was like “???”

So one day I ordered a katana, made it come in at my work address, brought it home when she was out and hanged it over a closet in my room.

And like.. it was never talked about?! Like.. still to this day she never brought up the subject?

Do you guys remember..

..when you had that moment of relization where you understood that snape was actually a dick all along? Well I can't wait for the time the young generation of these days will get that feeling for kylo ren

That one coworker that you hate for no apparent reason but then suddenly you understand. You hate that guy because he's the kind of person that would tell you a lame/racist/really not funny joke and then keep explaining it to you as if you didn't understand. He's the kind of person that opens a file sees an error that takes litterally 1 second to correct and instead of doing it himself closes the file calls you and tells you in a condescending tone "are you sure there isn't any mistake?". He comes too close when he talks to you. He fails to understand that you might are more friendly with another coworker because you find them more funny and kind or maybe because you are actually friend with them. He's the kind of person that takes hours to explain something that would have taken just 3 minutes. That. One. Coworker.

My life right now

feels like one of those games you used to really really like but now you have 1000+ gameplay hours and have done everything you could possibly do and now you just feel empty because you’d like to play but also you are tired of the contens. Basically I’m waiting for the next DLC.

[happysheeppanda]

"You think you're so beautifull and above of me. But you are just empty and shallow."

"Pfft.. and you.. you think that I don't give you the chance you asked for because of that? How ironic that you can't see you were actually given that chance and you let it vanish from your grasp like the white sand on an empty beach. You say those words sure of their truth without realizing that their lie is the reason that sand will be blown away by the wind. You tell me you do not expect anything from me but at the same time turn on me when you realize that is exactly what you are going to get. And then you try to shame me because I choose to give what you like to think is yours to take to others. People that don't talk to me with lies but with honesty. People that deserve my gift more than you, and even if they didn't I would still give it. Because if something is mine then mine is the decision to give it to others. People who will tell me what they want and get exactly that. Nothing less and nothing more. Because that is what I want. So don't pretend to be the ruler where you don't have a land, because if you do you are going to drown. For the water is deep in my soul and it hides things that could swallow you whole."

[happysheeppanda]

My psychologist once told me

"I lost count of the people who walk through that door and tell me how much they hate being/feeling weak. They want to be strong and fearless. But sometimes it's fine to be weak, it's fine to recognise that you fear something. There is no shame in that. As long as we keep in mind that somehow things will work out one way or another. Sometimes it's ok to cry"

[happysheeppanda]

If you could be anything

What or who would you be?

Most people want to be emperors or heroes, some just want to be happy surrounded by their family. I for one, want to be everyone and no one. I want to be the bartender that gives you the right tips when you need it. Or the old lady that shows you a way when you thought all road where lost. I want to be the wind that makes your hat fly away right into the lap of your soulmate. I want to be that one moment in the life of people that makes them question their choises and helps them shift to the path that will take them towards their happiness. Maybe I'll just be the drunk girl that you meet in a club when you are down or the friendly street seller that gives you a flower for free. And what a joke it would be, carring all this darkness but still being able to bring light and joy to the ones I meet.

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

[dragginage]

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

[systlin]

I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?” 

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.

And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.

Do good recklessly.

[solarpunk-gnome]

I think “Do good recklessly” would be fantastic word art to hang on one’s wall. Artistic people, go!

[7faerielights]

So this has happened to me but from the other side. Several years ago when my oldest was around three or so, I had my debit card decline at Walmart. It wasn’t a scam or a mistake, I was genuinely broke. Out of money. I checked my bank and discovered I had something like 7 dollars left to my name and a hungry kid and nothing to eat at home. So I sat there trying to come up with the best way to stretch that tiny amount of money to feed my kid. Not even to feed me. I can live on popcorn or something if I have to but my kid was three and he had to eat. So there I am trying really hard not to cry while I slowly take things out of my basket to get it down to under 7 bucks, when a lady tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and she smiled at me and started putting the things back in my cart. I opened my mouth to tell her that I didn’t have the money for them but she stopped me right away and said “Don’t worry about it. It’s gonna be fine.” Then she handed the cashier her credit card and said “Ring up all of it.” My kid got to eat because of her. I got to eat because of her. I had laundry soap and deodorant because of her. She could’ve just ignored me silently struggling in that line. She could’ve decided I was a scam and gone home feeling good about avoiding being duped. But instead she chose to help me and she saved us. So maybe the person struggling in front of you is trying to put one over on you or maybe they are just sad and broke and trying to figure out what to do. You get to decide which you want to believe and what you want to do. But I’ll tell y’all, no one has ever been more beautiful to me than that lady in that line who saved me and my baby. Be like her. Be beautiful.

My darkest secret

The demon was in front of me. Waiting.

“So? What will it be? Your life or your darkest secret?”

I looked back.

“You have to choose.”

I took a deep breath.

“Twenty years ago I was hanging around the forest as always when I heard a little girl singing. I was courious because that place was usually deserted, so I went to see who it was. When the girl saw me she got scared and took several steps back not noticing the hole behind her. It wasn’t a great fall but she had beaten her head pretty badly. Her back was in a very unnatural position. She was crying and reached to me with her little hand. Please she said I can’t die here. My mom will be so worried, and my brother will be so sad. I can’t break their hearts in this way. Not because of such a stupid thing as a fall. She was dying. And there was nothing I could do. You know mobile phones were hardly a common thing back then and we were really in the middle of nowhere. So I reached down and took her hand and sang to her while she fell unconscious. She was dying and I could do nothing about it. But I could try to ease her mind. So I made a promise. Want to know what that was?”

The demon looked at me. Delighted at first. Nodding eagerly as he felt as if he was about to win his next victim. His triumph quickly turned to confusion and then panic as I began to grin and change. 

“A secret only my shower glass knows. I said If your family means so much to you. If you don’t want them to know. If you don’t want them to miss you. Then I can take your place. I will live your life for as long as it takes. I can’t die so they will never know the pain of your loss. In exchange I just ask for your darkest secret. And you. You should really learn to choose your victims more wisely” My last advice was lost though. Dead demons can’t follow advices after all.
