You know what's awesome? You. We are too stunning to waste time on thinking of what we don't like about ourselves when there is so much to love, be inspired by, and appreciate who we are. The fact that people can run, or swim, and paint or draw, or maybe dance, sing, or play an instrument. Maybe more than one of these. I think it's cool that people are willing to love and even risk their life for people that they don't even know. You are so cool. I don't think you even realize how incredible you are. Right now, you are breathing automatically. Aren't your lungs generous? I know right?! The fact that you can even read this is amazing. Later you will go to sleep and dream. What the heck is a dream? Why do we have them? You are curious about it now. But if you aren't then, well, that's alright, too. It's part of your body that hasn't been figured out yet. I like that we all have different bodies. Some people think that they have to look a certain way, but isn't it great that no matter what you look like there will always be at the very least one person who loves the way you look more than you do? I think my favorite thing about you, about me, about everyone is that we all see things differently. The blind see with their fingers, the def are more focused, and the way I see a tree will always be different from the way that you see a tree. However, the most impressive thing about us is that the one thing we all have in common is nothing at all. And that's alright with me. I don't know about you, but...I like the way I see my tree.


The author's comments:
I had one of those night where I simply think about everything. I sometimes tend to see things in a different perspective. Which is a good thing. This piece was me simply rambling on about who we are. It is things that are true, but we can be so negative that we don't see it. I wrote this so you can see it.
