There are people I run across in my life that hold importance despite our brief meeting. They greet me witn fleeting pleasantries, conversation, and scope of mind. They like to be seen, and care to be heard.  I just know. They have pent up feelings, and problems intertwined. They dont ask for help, and you're never owed a call to action. However, there's a voice inside thay calls you to help. You give your time like loose change. You look them in thr eyes and say "thank you, it was a pleasure talking to you." And you wish them luck for the rest of their lifetime. Time and recognition, things that keep people good people.

Why would I be in despair, when I know my weight in gold? When I'm so sure of who I am? I know the space I take up, and the void I fill for others. I hold my value because I have curiosity, complexity, and nuance. I care to learn to learn to care. I am one of one, and once in a lifetime. My energy, heart, and mind. All my own, and all with so much love. I know I'm not any better or in have any of these in excess, but I know I am a different experience. I know that no one else can replicate who I am. So truly and humbly, to lose me is to lose. 

There's relief in that. There's relief in those outcomes. Now I am free. Free to be. 

How do you cope with people that want to bring you down? I think the biggest help in my toolbox of coping with the tragedies of the everyday world is realizing that what people show you is a reflection of their self. If someone treats you badly, it's because they have an internal dialogue that is negative or insecure. You reveal something about themselves they don't want to confront.  Never jeopardize your wellbeing for the sake of getting along. You are power, and you are light. Set your boundaries because it waters love.

I'm okay with not being everyone's person. 

Lately I have been feeling like I have reached the cap of what I want from life. It's not an issue of motivation, it's a map problem. Who do I want be?
