I remember when I was little I used to love Christmas. Today, Christmas time personally disgusts me. I got into a long talk with my friend Jen about how much I hate what Christmas has come to. It's a hallmark holiday. Where people are more worried bout presents, money, the best stuff, and everything else that ruins Christmas. Personally, I wish gifts weren't involved.. I find it rather silly.
To me Christmas is that time when people come together. It's sad, but it's usually the month everyone is jolly. I honestly don't remember the last time I really met anybody in the Christmas spirit. Everybody is so caught up in myself. I finally decided to do something bout it
I decided to do the nicest/most graceful thing I've ever done.
I recently got a pretty decent amount of money.
I took $1500 dollars and donated it to st. judes hospital. There is a lot of other stuff I could of spent this money on. I coulda bout myself a lott of un necessary shit. I decided to donate it. Why? Because that $1500 will be spent so much better then how I could have done it. I know $1500 isn't that much when it comes to a hospital. But to me, it was a lot to let go of and it felt amazing.
Secondly, St. Jude is mostly a cancer foundation for kids. They focus on youth with cancer diseases. After I donated that $1500 they showed me and Jen around the hospital. They couldn't believe someone my age donated that so much. It hit so close to home for me being thankful for how successful for now my treatment was. I had a miracle happen to me and I wanted to be a miracle to someone else. Hopefully that $1500 is just enough to save someone elses life.
This month I wanna concentrate alot on "Christmas Spirit"
