So I work at the YMCA, but that’s a story for another time. Anyways I see people, all kinds of different people that is. Skinny, tall, short, fat, young, old, black, white, you get the point. I also see a lot of disabled people. And today I noticed something. Have you ever realized how happy a Down syndrome child or adult is? Literally nothing of sadness is ever shown on their faces. They smile and wave at everyone who comes their way, Young kids usually don’t understand why a Down syndrome person is different than they are. Sometimes young kids can be harsh, but the thing is a kid could be mean to a person with Down syndrome and they would laugh and grin as big as they could at the one whom doesn’t understand them. In my opinion they really are special, they see no wrong because they don’t know the difference. And to me not being able to see that is a great attribute about them. They are the happiest people on this planet because they literally don’t know, they know of no wrong. So my quote from The Great Gatsby today somewhat has to do with this blog post. Being blinded to all the wrong things is what we all want and need. If no one saw wrong in this world, think of how great it could be. If we didn’t see when someone was mean to us, or flaws in others or ourselves, we’d be great people. If we could shut out everything negative in our lives, as if it doesn’t even happen. So I thank God for showing me this today, disabled people are flawed to perfection, and perfection is found in our flaws. So blind yourself to all things wrong, and you’ll see all the things right.

Feeling Gatsby inspired today. #pinup #pinklips #curls #greatgatsby #daisy #beautifulfool #blonde #twenties

Have you ever had a crush? It's exhilerating and debilitating all at once. I am excited at the mere thought of him and all that he is, but can hardly function when he's around. I feel like a woman and child. Crazy!!!

RGW complimented me today in front of Pastor Emeritus, JHB (mentor) and the Developer of our soon coming community center. After greeting me with a "good afternoon", he said "She is so beautiful. She doesn't even need hair." I respond with a meek thank you, a deep blush, and a touch to the nape of my neck. He repeats it, then JHB agrees and chimes in about me, offering some details about my continued education and volunteerism. RGW responds with a sense of pride, and says, "its because she's from Savannah, with all those field peas." The entire time Pastor Emeritus and the lady Developer are looking back at me. The Developer went on to personally introduce herself and get my information. Crazy and flattering and amazing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Epilogue After the forum is over, I talked with various church members, friends, classmates, OH team members. I finish up a conversation with a minister, and pass by RGW, reaching for a quick hug. He embraces me with both arms (tight and genuine), and I return it, but quickly look for a release. He holds (I gladly oblige) and greets me with a "Hi gorgeous!" (I melt and giggle inside). Then we release and he asks "So what are you up to?" And I reply "I wanna go home to Savannah where its warm, 70 degree weather." He laughs and says, "No, but really, what are you doing?" I get serious in a split second and tell him I'm a graduate student at AYS focusing on international public policy, yada yada ya... answering as prompted. And then he asks me how old I am. I wanted to say 27, but resisted. He says, "I have about nine brothers asking about your gorgeous self." I laugh it off and think "Who?". He looks with some intent to convey seriousness and says something about me being snatched up and married soon. I attempt to make some joke about how someone claimed to see me with a gentleman. He looks on and says "Well I'll be your broker." I have no words at this point and simply laugh and let the pregnant pause end the conversation. I'm still floating! He's great!
