My soapbox
Why hello there. I started out as a youtube director who frequently uploads video game play with various commentary topics to accompany them. Since then I've realized some things are best written instead of spoken, at least for me.

BIkers Against Child Abuse Helps Make Abused Children Feel Safe Again
“A biker’s power and intimidating image can even the playing field for a little kid who has been hurt. If the man who hurt this little girl calls or drives by, or even if she is just scared, another nightmare, the bikers will ride over and stand guard all night.
If she is afraid to go to school, they will take her and watch until she’s safely inside.
And if she has to testify against her abuser in court, they will go, too, walking with her to the witness stand and taking over the first row of seats.”
During one such testimony, a little boy sat on the stand, testifying against his abusive father, who sat less than 10 feet away.
“Why didn’t you say anything before now?” Asked the prosecutor.
“I was scared.” The little boy replied, honestly.
“Why aren’t you scared now, what changed?” The prosecutor watched the little boy closely as he pointed to the front row of seats in the court room.
“Because my friends are scarier than he is.”
shit like this makes me have faith in humanity again.
I'll take a spin and answer this.

Been there.
“How come he don’t want me, man?”
From what I’ve heard, Will Smith’s father actually left him. This wasn’t entirely scripted. Will went off on his own rant, and the hug at the end was genuine.
His character was just supposed to shrug off his dad leaving again and he starts to but then Will goes off script. That whole speech is coming entirely from him. The hug at the end is also genuine, actor to actor not character to character.
God, I will never stop loving Will Smith.
All the awards.
All my emotions.
oh god this scene always makes me so sad
i understand how you feel, will, i really do
Will, I know the feel. <3
Oh, wow, I didn’t know this was an unscripted scene. I’d always felt this scene was amazingly powerful (it makes me tear up every single time I see it, without fail) and I guess that really explains why.
my tears.

This is what love is.
Love is a feeling, no doubt. But its much more than just how that person makes you feel. It is an action, a lifestyle, if you will. A choice to put that other persons needs and happiness and well being ahead of ones own needs. Of course there is the hope those same things are returned, but it is not required in order to love or be in love with someone.
