Have you ever looked at someone and realized exactly what they are?
You see this person every single day and you just have a moment of pure epiphany
in which they reveal themselves to you.
Sometimes I see people and I marvel at how beautiful they are.
Or I am revolted at how horribly ugly they are.
It's almost like seeing right through someone. They are completely naked and you look at them
and you just know.
You know exactly what their soul looks like.
I'm sitting here at twelve in the morning thinking about something someone once said to me.
It was some girl I had met at a birthday party.
As I was leaving the party, she said, "I just want to thank you for being so genuine about who you are."
I honestly was stunned.
I wanted to fall on the ground bawling right in front of this girl that I had just met.
That is the single most cherished compliment I have ever received.
I don't even remember this girl's name.
And I wonder if other people see me the same way.
I try my best to be exactly who I am all of the time.
I'm not going to sit here and write lies, though.
Sometimes I slip up and pretend to be someone I'm not.
Don't we all?
It's my eighth grade self esteem issues resurfacing, ladies and gents.
But I'm being stupid because I care very little about what people think of me.
Once again I'm not here to lie, I obviously care a little.
I think that is part of human nature. I also don't think it is something to be ashamed of.
But it does intrigue me, how people see other people.
How we look at someone and have that sudden Aha! moment where we see someone's character in full light.
The way we judge someone based on appearance instead of action.
Isn't that interesting?
That people literally make split second decisions about other people and the way they live their lives simply by a glance.
It's quite as simple as saying, "I am going to like/dislike this person because ..."
There are many reasons I like people and many, many more that explain why I dislike them.
And I could sit here and waste my life away talking about how people interest me.
So I guess I'll just shut up now.
G'night.
