Today at work . . . .All I can say is how did I survive? I have NEVER been so sleepy and trying to stay awake became a project today. After I started to wake up (mind you this was around 4:30PM) I was entering lead into the computer and a name came up made me remember a boy that was crushing on me in elementary school. His name was Angel. He was a short hispanic boy. I think this was 5th or 6th grade, So I wasn't even old enough to date right. But I had "boyfriends" but this boy was MADLY IN LOVE <3>with me. My personality is to be nice, which made him think I liked him even more.
Around this time of growing up, I was living downstairs with the big kids, and we had our own land line phone, this land line was also used for dial internet connection. .(hahah remember that?) Anyways so whenever this phone rang everyone knew that it was a person of the opposite sex, weather it be for me, julie, kyle, bryce or bradley. lol We would literally RUN to the phone to pick it up first. It was hardley EVER for me. . so you see where I am going with this.. . I started giving out the number to this cool rockin phone, and my friends gave my number to Angel.
The Phone call was for me, and yes it was Angel. I remember thinking, "why is this kid so keen on talking with me, I dont like him" but of course I was nice. One night he called again, I know Julie answered it, I didn't want to talk to him, I was fed up with it. So what did I do? You better believe I told him the truth, and I still remember my words. (Not too long ago I used similar words when I lived in St. George) "I am not interested. We can only be friends. I am not even old enough to date yet." hahaha and I still remember is reaction, silence, the shy type he was. But man was I so scared to tell him that. I was only 11-12 years old when this happened, My first time rejecting a boy. . . hahah. lol
When I thought of that story today, laughed about it and thought about what I learned. I was stunned and amazed to have seen how that experience has helped me to be who I am today! I have the guts to tell a guy that it would never work (only when I know that it wouldn't). It has made me a strong women. I am glad to be who I am today and all the experiences that I have had and even will have.
