Hello! Hi! Hola! Hey! . . .
I guess that's the best way to start out because I'm not very good with introductions. I am very awkward and I've never really been good at introductions but I guess that's a good place to start . . . Anyways my name is Claire and I am an eighteen year old college student at Arcadia University and today I started a blog called About Being Kind which is about being kind! (first pun of the paragraph/post *cue the drums*) To get right to the point and not bore you to death with word vomit I'll tell you (in a way more formal way then I actually am XD) why a freshman in college would start a blog called about being kind (*drums please*). What would someone so young know about being kind? (Do you see the pun there, yeah? yes? Third one today! :D *cue the drums again*) Was that what you were thinking? Because I don't just want to assume I know what your thinking. That's kind of rude. I should tell you though I am also a certified telepath and can read everyone's mind through the power of the internet! I know what your thinking now, they have a certificate for that?? . . . Hahaha, just kidding. . . . or am I? 0.o
Word vomit aside back to the real question, What would someone so young know about being kind? (*cue the drums, bahdahCHOO*) The answer is the real fun part! :D I don't. I don't know of or just know anyone my age who can possible go around saying that they know all of life's secrets about being kind just through their childhood and infant adulthood. I sure can't XD I've made more mistakes then you can count on two hands and two feet probably twenty times over. In fact in just the first paragraph I promised you that I would not be wordy but then I went on a whole certified telepathy rant! What do I know!?
Here's the point it took me two paragraphs to make, I want to share with you my experiences with kindness as I grow older. The lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made, the mistakes I've seen and will see, just so our lessons are learned and that we can spread kindness around. I'm sure you all have seen or heard of the healing power of laughter, the strength of a smile, and acts of random kindness that can turn someone's say from suck-fest to a fun-fest in less then a second. What I want to do is stick to that, and make that known. I want to make that those things easy to reach and to learn for myself and for others. By telling you my experiences with these things make an opaque concept a bit clearer, shed some light in a dark place, maybe we can try and make our lives a little bit brighter. Yes? :)
Now I'm not going to be bombarding the internet with preaching stand-points on how I feel the world should be, and what we need to do to change it. Let's leave that for politics (which I don't particularly understand and probably never will XD) I do however, want get some brain gears going and make people think. I will post once a week at most, maybe more maybe less. I love to hear comments and opinions so please make them known! And any ideas on being kind and the inner working of it, feel free to email me at btspringahead@gmail.com. Again I am not a telepath nor a guru so if you come looking for advice (I try and help you the best I can), I cannot fix your problems nor do I know everything about being kind (*cue those drums again! XD*) and how it works. However everyone has to start somewhere right? So, here goes nothing . . . .
~Claire~
