Listening to: The Word of Your Body [Reprise] - Spring Awakening
So, I`m sitting here and I`m watching True Life on MTV. This episode is the one about autism. It makes me so sad, but so happy. There`s this boy on there named Jeremy who is so affected by this handicap, that he never learned to talk. For years the only communication he had was with his family through a peice of paper that had a keyboard printed on it. He just recently got this machine that talks out whatever he types on it, so he finally now has friends that are his own age.
This story just makes me appreciate my ability to vocally be able to communicate with people. It makes me feel glad that I can yell at my friends down the hallway, calling them whores and sluts and be completely joking. It makes me so happy that I can look someone in the eye and tell them that I`m absolutely crazy for them and am so happy with them. Without that communication, I have no clue where I`d be.
This makes me believe more in what my mother has always told me:
"Always tell the people you love, that you love them. You never know when the last time you`ll see them will be."
I beg that you follow that advice. There can be no harm in following it.
