A Moment Lost Forever

Posted on Sunday, January 21, 2007 at 10:15PM by Registered Commenter2007 Seniors | Comments3 Comments

I was recently at a hotel dropping friends off, and when I turned around I noticed a girl crying in the hall. I honestly dont know what about or what for, but it caught my attention and I decided I would try and make a difference. So, I went over and asked her what was wrong. Without even looking up she said,"nothing". I pushed my elevator button and asked,"do you need any help?" and she looked up and said,"no". So i hopped on my elevator and left....

And i have been wondering is there anything I could have done like sit down and talk or something else. right?....

What would you do in this situation?... and please answer honestly. The reason why that simple moment bothers me so much is that I feel that it was my moment to show what kind of a person I am, and when that great defining moment came along I just did the bare minimum and walked away.

Too many times we stand aside and let the waters slip away, till what we put off till tomorrow has now become today. So don't you sit upon the shoreline and say you're satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.

i think you did show your kindness. Not many people would have stopped. Sometimes people won't accept it and you can't force it on them. I'm sure she appreciated that someone took notice

i agree with carly, u tried but she just wasn't willing or ready to open up. u can't speed a process like opening up, it takes time. hey i give u kudos for at least trying, it would of took a lot for me to go up to her and ask what's wrong.

Ditto.
Sometimes if I know the person, I'll persist, but, yeah, you're right.
