Thank you for being patient with me yesterday. How easy it is for us to forget
the lessons of our youth. I’ve been trying to take on too much work for one
person, and it’s had a negative impact on my well-being so I need to learn to
lean on others. Or rather, I need to relearn it, because I already
figured it out during college. I was taking a class in the linguistics
department called Semantics, but I wasn’t working very hard at it. I didn’t go
to class unless a classmate was presenting—because I wanted to show them
respect—or if there was a test. I was at a high risk of failing when I
discovered that some of my classmates were regularly meeting for a study
group. I’ve joked that the TV series Community was probably based on
them. Lol, you don’t know what I’m talking about, but that would be really
funny if it were true. I wouldn’t know, because I never attended the meetings.
I wasn’t invited. They did let me use the study guide that they had curated
for the open note exam at the end of the semester. I aced that test, and
passed the class with a C. I didn’t learn much about semantics, but I did
learn everything I needed to know about humanity. I learned to trust in other
people’s expertise, and their efforts. People are basically good, and they’re
just trying to do the right thing, so don’t assume the worst in them, or try
to take advantage. Share knowledge, and help when you can. You never know when
a friend will come in handy. I won’t ever forget that again.
