I have no other title for this post than people, in all of their bewildering curiosities. I guess I just can’t get over how complicated people really are. Silly, huh? But one minute you’re thinking one thing and the next, someone blows your mind away with something he or she says. All the while you’re left saying, “I never knew they were going through that,” or “I never knew how they felt.”
Much of the time I claim to understand what I don’t really know. My mind gets that other people are just as complex as I am…duh. But I continue to forget, continue to let little irritations or bitterness override my view of people. That is, until I get stopped in my tracks and realize that once again I’ve bungled everything up.
My point? I don’t really have one. Everyone knows all of this already. But if all I can say to myself, and to anyone else who cares to read this is, “Wake up and look at the people around you. Make sure you really take in who they are and what they’re going through, stop making it about you,” then that’s enough.
