Do you ever look at someone and find yourself thinking they are just magnificent? Lately I've been finding myself charmed by people. Though not in my job, of course, just in life in general. Maybe it's just that I'm blessed to have a circle of spectacular people, or I just happen to know a lot of really impressive people from here or there. Certainly no implication of like flocking to like.
These little glimmers from instance to instance and the magnetism of uniqueness have been restoring my faith in humanity. Not that I put my faith in humanity by any means, because I know all too well already how likely that is to fail me... But I've been noticing people; as if catching them in their element. Each time I stop and kind of relish in the moment and think, Man, that person is cool. I'd like to claim my reaction is more eloquent in my head, but believe it or not, it takes a bit of thought for me to speak eloquently. Anyone who knows me well, isn't surprised by that.
It's a mixture, too, not just the people you'd label as charismatic; it's all kinds of people! I have all these little moments of crush on all these people. Life has become a little more sparkly by being made aware of them. It really is being made aware, not just being aware. It's been people I glimpse for a moment, or people I've known for years.
I guess this has the potential to come off completely cliche, - that people are enthralling - but it's true. And I just like to write what I know. Who has time to live in fear of the cliche? Other than hipsters...
