Something Great... (Part II)

Inspired by "Something Great" by One Direction from their Midnight Memories album. <3

As you may have read in my previous writing, I have been quite sick lately and 'hibernated' in my room for nearly a week then finally left the room Thursday.

Well on Thursday after work I went to a club meeting that I am currently the secretary of although I have not been doing my job since first becoming sick :'(

Anyways I went to the meeting then dinner con mis amigas.

Esa noche más tarde (Later that night), I went to visit one of my friends in her room.

I went to ask her a question about the paper due for our class.

I couldn't help but notice her puffy, moist ojos (eyes)...

After discussing our paper, I had to ask if she was okay and gave her a hug.

I wanted to ask how she was as soon as I saw her open the door but decided it was best to wait until we finished our discussion about our paper and stuff.

After giving her what I could only assume was a well needed hug,

We began discussing the current issue(s)...

School. Majors. Work. Life. Life after college. Feeling Lonely. Feeling Lost. And much more.

I tried my best to comfort her as much as I could.

I even told her how I am feeling just how she feels but I know how tough it is for her.

If you know me well enough you would know that I absolutely DISLIKE

When anyone close to me or associated with me in any way

Is sad, upset, down, etc.

I know there are times when you just can't ALWAYS be smiles and such

It is just that I dislike knowing and seeing any of my friends and family be sad especially cry knowing that there could possibly be a way for me to at least bring a smile to their face if not help them feel better in some way.

I just cannot ignore it when I notice one of my friends are down.

I always have to try to help them in some way

Whether it be listening to them vent, try and get them to talk or think about something else/distract them, hug them, or simply try to make them smile or laugh

Just SOMETHING to lift their spirits up at least a tiny bit...I always have to try...

After chatting with her some more and just listening to her situation we parted ways and I went off back to my room and ...well I don't remember what I did afterwards lol

The next day me, her, and another one of our friends went to go pick up her boyfriend

I believe we listened to One Directions "Midnight Memories" album on the way there and back and all the while we just chatted and sang along to the lyrics

On the drive back 'Something Great' began to play and I started thinking as I drove...

I thought about how happy my friend was once we picked her bf up and it got me thinking about how I was able to make them both smile and happy just by simply making it possible for them to spend some time together for the weekend...

It got me thinking about how I only want to make others happy whether I myself am able to find happiness like them....I just want the people around me to be happy

Being able to make others happy gives me some hope in finding my own happiness...

"Is it too much to ask for something great?"

"It's inevitable everything that's good comes to an end..."
