I've never lost a close friend, but I've lost people who have made a difference in my life.  

It's amazing how little attention everyone give to some people til they pass..

People will talk about not taking life for granted for now, but in a few weeks, they won't even remember the promise they've made themselves.  It takes these incidents to make people realize how fragile our lives really are.  But until they can see the all the beauty in the world, they've learned nothing. Until you've lost someone whose appearance can change everything, you've lost nothing.  Until you can look at anything and appreciate everything about it, everyone will be taking their lives for granted.  

You must always work for a cause, not for applause.

Live life to express, not to impress.

Now just think about this..

You buy a cup of coffee.

Big bitch bumps into you.

COFFEE EVERYWHERE.

Don't lie, you're a little pissed off.

OH BUT HEY

Nice coffee man is going to give you another cup on the house.

Your morning? Totally turned around.

What if the nice coffee man wasn't there?

Did you even tell him thanks?

Better yet, did you tell him you APPRECIATE it?

Most people think they only have their friends and family to thank for how their lives have played out.  Do you know how wrong those people are?

When anybody does you a favor, put yourself in their shoes, would you do it for them?

Probably not if you all ready had to get someone else to do it for you.

Lazy ass. 

So when someone ask you to do something for them..  

Do it willingly.


When you ask someone to do something for you..
Why not a good ole' please and thank you.
What happened to manners anyways?


You know you notice when people don't say 'thank you' to you.
It pisses me the fuck off.

See, all anyone wants is to be appreciated, respected, and accepted.

I know you've all seen the "respect" everyone here has.

There is none.  People only strive off the stories behind you name.

No one takes time to get to know each other anymore.

If someone doesn't hold the proper title, there is no respect.

And you all know how it feels to be rejected.

It's probably the worst feeling in the world to be told you don't belong in someone's life.  

Who wants to feel that way? I don't.  I don't like it at all.

The least anyone could do is acknowledge and appreciate someone else's existence.

Not many people are willing to do someone a favor or give someone the time of day.. 

even if they could really use it.


Enjoy knowing you had the power to make someone smile,
you NEVER know what happens behind closed doors.


Look at me being sappy and shit.

Appreciate those who make your day a little bit easier.

I guarantee they would appreciate it too.

RIP Mike Thompson.  

A man who appreciated and did more for a community than asked.

A true inspiration and follower of God.
