hi everyone im relativly new ive been here for a bout a year and i just wanted to say a coule of things...

First off i wanna thank all the dollars and all their hard work on the mission we come up with and that you guys are doing a really great job.

ok, so ive been feeling kinda down lately IRL and i wanna explain a bit. I live in california in a town called redding, i go to a charter school in a nearby town. Ok so school starts and i meet up with my friends and everything goes good i head to my yearbook class and i see this girl, she was sooooo pretty and usually whn it comes to girls i have no problem, but she made me blush and act all stupid and i instantly fell in love, so i go and talk to her...she ends up hanging out with all my friends and i became her boyfriend...which was awesome, up until we broke up, she said she lost feeling for me and that she couldnt keep up with me, (or maybe she didnt want to), so we break up and what happens next is what really hits me, she starts excluding ME from MY friends so now they dont ever hang out with me except for at school, a week later i try to come to terms with her and we become ACQUAINTANCES, not friends, and so despite my own feeling i try to help her, 2 more weeks go by and ive helped her get a new boyfriend, which yes that hurt by i told myself not to let my feeling get in the way of us being friends.

After she gets her "dream boyfriend" she ends up being dicks to my friends, and now wont even talk to me...all she does is hang out with her boyfriend.

2 weeks go by of dealing with this and i find the dollars, and it was amazing! all these peole doing nice things for eachother, helping the world out, i couldnt belive it, it made me feel like i belonged to something, that "if i couldnt help my situation id help others"

So what im trying to say is that even if you guys dont relize it you guys really do make the world a better place than it seems....

Thanks man, we try. Some are unaware what their actions create. Simply because you see yourself a pebble in a lake does not mean you can't make a difference. Even a pebble makes ripples, and if guided down a path can make many ripples across a large lake. A friend once wanted to commit suicide, thinking no one liked him. I told him that's not true, many look forward to seeing his presence. I told him that the reason we like your company is because i see life like a kaleidoscope. Many of us have views in life much different from each other and many others see the same large angle in the lens. But he's that very small angle on the lens that many don't see. His mind works differently and without him we would never have been able to see the world through as another piece of the whole that we were intended to understand. Appreciate all life, because one life may open the eyes of another to show a whole new world. Don't let what happened to you bring you down. Just keep your chin up and continue to help all those in need, even her. Because in the end she may realize what a good a friend you have been to her. She just needs to open her eyes.
