So you go out to the store, or an occassion, maybe a party, and there's tons of earthlings just like you - just nice people who would really like to meet similarly nice people, people they have stuff in common with, people who can introduce them to new interests. Then why is it sometimes so hard to connect?
People who aren't confident can put up an air of "leave me alone" even if they're thinking something completely different. People who don't talk much, can seem aloof, or bratty, when really, they're probably very nice. How will you know, if you never say hello? Sometimes people might seem "too beautiful" to approach, even when they're probably really nice people, who probably have no real friends because people are afraid to say hello for .... follow me here ... fear of rejection. And the cycle completes ... back to the beginning of the para ... you know, not being confident..., afraid of being shut down?
Well, luckily for you all I'm an official people watcher/listener, a human observer of fellow humans. I guess I basically just like to learn what makes people tick, it's so interesting. I like to meet people, flirt with people, make friends, and sometimes (although I don't like it), i've made a couple- few frenemies along the way. It's the cycle of life ... which, by the way is not a cycle per se, it's the whole of many cycles. We're like a bunch of pinwheels planted on a lawn on a windy day, spinning around, cycling around, worried about whether other people will think we're prettier than the others or bigger than the rest, when that doesn't really matter at all. The pinwheel's beauty is in it's uniqueness. Sometimes the petals get dings and dents from everyday wear, but that just makes the sunshine on them a little differently, it makes them special and unique.
(drumroll please) (yeah, yeah, okay, i'm almost done blabbling, promise) The only person you really ever have to impress is yourself. Love yourself, short or tall, the flower on the wall, love yourself. If you like yourself, accept yourself, and know deep down that the person you see in the mirror each day is the real you, love them, embrace them, and then this amazing thing happens ... everyone else feels pretty much the same way about you too. It's not something your aiming for, it just happens. And that really does complete the circle.
Be kind, be a friend ... but first, to yourself, and then you'll be able to give that friendship to others, without even trying.
Jenna's tired now. uhh, don't say it ... haha ... just say goodnight Jenna. 'Til next time ...
