What is Caring?

I wish I was someone who cared to be more serious,

Someone who cared to take education seriously,

Someone who cared that I only got a C on my test,

Someone who cared that I tripped and fell in the commons,

Someone who cared that I forgot to put on underwear that day,

Someone who care that I forgot mascara,

Someone who cared that I bite my nails,

Someone who cared...

Those 7 things are not caring.

I want to be someone who cares more about going down a slide then being serious.

Someone who doesn't give a crap about the ACT and instead tries to balance a pencil on my nose.

Someone who got asked "What is 2+2.." and said the answer was 5 but cares more about laughing about it later.

Someone who fell in the commons and cared that everyone saw because it was epic!

Someone who forgot to put on underwear but cared more about how someone was doing that day.

Someone who forgot mascara but cares more about telling someone they look prettier then they do!

Someone who bites their nails but cares more about painting someone else's nails to make them feel good instead of worrying about their own.

Caring is not what is going on in the school system.

Or what you are feeling about the way you did on a test.

Caring is about enjoying the big things instead of worrying about the little ones.

Caring is about worrying for the person next to you, trying to make sure you are brightening their day.

Why care about things that don't matter...

I can promise you when we all go to our high school reunions,

No one is going to care about your ACT score,

that day you forgot underwear,

the time you forgot to wear mascara.

What they are going to care about is how you treated them...

How you cared for them.
