milo's got nothin' on me

so i kinda wish i had a super power. to be able to make people feel better with just a smile!

yeah...pretty homo sounding, i know. but sometimes i just don't know what to say to my friends when they're having an off day. when that happens, all i can do is give them what i hope is a comforting smile and tell them things will eventually fall into place. but that obviously isn't enough sometimes. i was working at the hospital last night, and a man came up to me a couple of times: once to ask me if it was ok for him to visit his wife, and the second to tell me that he was going to wait in the lobby until the time the nurses told him he was allowed to. the poor man looked so distressed. and the most i could do was offer him a smile.

so what the hell am i getting at here? i can't wait until i can start offering more than just a comforting flash of teeth. i want to show people i'm sincere about wanting to help them, and that i don't do it because i have to.

christmas is tomorrow!! i've been wanting a laptop for a while. and i probably won't get it. but hey...maybe santa threw some luck my way this year. happy holidays, y'all!
