Obviously, you want to be remembered for something good and not forgotten like the rest. Or you don't want to feel the guilt that would inevitably arise from your not saving someone else. How selfish... | ||

Comes a time at the end of the year where I'm given the opportunity to run for office - I have a lot of shit to do in this club, and I butt heads with the current officers (now graduated) all the time. I basically became the IdrA of my club in a good way. People liked my brazenness and knew I wasn't a fake resume builder. Basically, in my twenty seconds, I ran a silent campaign, made a lot of people see me in a more professional light, cleaned up my public image, gave a killer speech, and swept the election for President. Like I said, nothing beyond high school social life, but it's very very very big to me. =) | ||

This is the type of moment I would want, just to save someone... Only moment in a show I can recall where I was actually choking up. | ||

I'm such a screw up when it comes to relationships and treating women and I come from a sociopath background (been to psychologists, psychiatrists), until she came along and really changed my world. Before those 20 seconds, I was really scared when I had her hands held in mine... I just didn't know what to say or how to say it and just thought to myself something like "screw it, here goes nothing..." and went for it... and if you ask me how did I do it, I just don't remember a thing other than the most beautiful kiss ever. anything else in my life has been kinda straight forward, and I have been in some real messed up situations, but I guess I can deal with pressure or other circumstances with no problem. You could have ended up with a sexual harassment lawsuit | ||

Marriage is only a mistake if you go into it with the wrong reasons. Everybody that is in my life that has gotten married has a great relationship and they wouldnt change it for the world. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, sisters... all are happily married. And honestly, when you see an old married couple celebrating their 50th anniversary... is there anything more awesome than that? | ||

I have no doubt that she had her 20 seconds when she kissed me during our senior year in high school, and I was too much of a dumb-ass to reciprocate the emotion or feelings. I'm sure when the time comes (probably soon), I'll end up editing this post. | ||

Everyone makes mistakes, but marriage is the only mistake where they expect you pay for it for the rest of your life. technically, you also pay for the rest of your life if your mistake makes you die. | ||

Just some life changing experience that took serious balls to do. Am I the only one thinking this thread is hinting for people to go get laid? I giggled reading the entire post like a school girl. For some, it's probably not even 20 seconds. | ||

Your not needing in this community if your going to post garbage in a serious thread like this On August 11 2012 17:02 Emnjay808 wrote: + Show Spoiler + Highschool Valentines Day. Some underclassman chick Ive been crushing on since forever. It was middle of recess and I had a white rose ready to give her (color white is supposed to mean "were friends, but I want something more" or some shit like that). Anyways, middle of recess I bust out my single rose, all my friends go balistic (theyre the rowdy type), it immediately catches the attention of everyone around the general area. The girl I like is half way across the school, so I start to take the long and shameful walk. Literally every foot step I took was just incredibly hard to take, I felt like I was in a alternate reality. I tried my best to ignore the stares as I walked pass groups of students, and look straight on ahead. I turn the corner, and I see her, she immediately notices me and looks shocked. There is no turning back now, each step is even harder to take, I felt like I was gonna pass out any moment now. I get closer to her, she hides behind one of her friends. I could tell that she was shocked and happy at the same time, my breathing was going insane now, my mind was going blank, I try my best to act cool. I finally reach her, she had the biggest smile on her face, I could not help but just stare at her for a couple seconds. I reach out and pass her the rose and say "Happy Valentines Day". She goes "awww" and gives me the biggest hug. I walk all the way back to my friends, feeling like a boss. Sorry just put spoiler to not clutter my post. That kind of stuff is really tough to do sir. Especially the way you took it upon yourself to do it in that way. Takes some real mental fortitude to block out the negative thoughts and ignore all the people staring (that staring probably tore holes through you) Happy the result was positive aswell! You are someone who has the balls to take that chance and push through and not give 2 f***'s about what anyone else thought. Should keep that memory and always think back on it when you run into a wall and think you cant do something! | ||

Should keep that memory and always think back on it when you run into a wall and think you cant do something! Wasn't trolling, you just included an insane amount of phrases with puns to last a lifetime. I saw that movie and never really liked the idea of that time span of courage. Every time I've stuck my neck out in the hopes of avoiding decapitation, it's been shorter or longer with the idea that you have no idea what you're doing. It ends up working or it ends up failing. My last act of 'real' courage as per this thread pertains to meeting my girlfriend of 1.5 years. It was our college's laundry room and she was shy & cute and waved at me as she recognized me from class. I gave her my number and told her to text me in hopes we'd get a chance to talk to each other. Best relationship I've ever had for a small amount of 'courage'. I don't really follow the idea behind courage. It seems like every act of courage I've seen someone do(after someone saying "oh that was courageous") was either a dumb idea or it was just what you were supposed to do in the situation. Courage is like the end result of something that you're going to do is assigned that value in retrospect. | ||

Schools like to make you feel like shit when you're unable to do the work (dropped down the lowest maths level because I kept forgetting my calculator at home) so I flipped that shit on it's head. tl;dr I did something goofy and now everyone has a happy memory of that time in high school. Other seconds of courage usually involve climbing shit. That being said none if this is actually the "heroic" kind of courage like saving people from dying. Honestly I just don't surround myself with enough people facing near death to have such an opportunity. | ||
