And then the light went on

Today spent time with a friend, talked, feel much better. I may still stay away from people, but I feel better. I got some things done as well.

Here's the thing though. While I was at Factory 2 U, I heard this song I recognized. It was a Tori Amos song, and it was the one played during the ASPCA commercial about animals being put down. That damn commercial gets me every time. But anyways, it made me think about how I should do something, do more. Then when I was at The 99 Cent Store, they were playing Someday We'll Be Together by Diana Ross and The Supremes. That made me think even more, that I should go out, and do something. That I should use this time, to help. After that, Good Vibrations played, but fuck that. So here I am now, doing what I planned before my mom died.

When my mom was alive, I had told her that I wanted to do more. I had wanted to volunteer for some organization and looked up some, but didn't qualify for many due to them wanting a larger committment, or only money. Well I had bought an American Red Cross shirt and here I am online, looking up places. I'm going to look into volunteering for the rescue mission here, especially since I have afternoons free. I'll also look into Habitat for Humanity since I have done construction on and off for a year. I want to help. I don't want anyone to feel helpless like I had. I want there to be hope.
