What little I know about people

What little I know about people.
Please remember, I have only been in this
body. This is how I see people.
Oh and remember, I may see it differently tomorrow.
Might I first say:
There are five people in my world
that mean everything to me.
After that I would like to add:
I have some dang good friends in
my everyday.
One more thing:
I generally like people.
* There are people that can calm a hyper soul.
* There are people that look past and see deep.
* There are people that refuse to see at all.
* There are people that live so righteously, they make you wonder if you
will EVER walk and talk like them.
* There are people who are so full of negativity and complaint, that miss
so much simple daily pleasure.
* There are people that stick a label on you, and stick you on a shelf as
being like "that". Refusing to see your growth and change. This fact
crushed me in my twenties, and makes me sadly chuckle a little in my
30's. Can't wait to see how I respond in my 40's.
* There are people who make you laugh so deeply, that it is actually
medication to your heart and soul.
* There are people you will NEVER be good enough for. Don't waste
your time trying. Find a way to love and respect them, but do it
from a distance so you don't get hurt.
* There are people who like to hear themselves talk. And talk. and talk.
Sometimes you roll your eyes and run. Sometimes you are selfless and
let them.
* There are people that want you to see their worldly possessions, and let
them know you have.
* There are people with much wealth and personal possessions, but you
don't notice because of their great countenance.
* There are people with very little, but you don't notice because of their
great countenance.
* There are people that like to pat you on the head and tell you you're cute.
Don't give in to that urge to punch them.
* There are people who have known you your whole life and love you
the deepest. Drink it in, cherish it.
* There are people that notice the petty mistakes you make and are so
caught up in being grumpy about it and their "pet peeves" that they
miss out on the good you possess. Don't let it get to you down for more
than two minutes. Move on.
* There are people you get stuck in a car with that go on and on about
their drama lives. They don't realize that in your mind you are imagining
opening the door and jumping.
* There are people who drink in drama like they have an unquenchable
thirst.
* There are people with real sorrow in their lives. You feel it so deeply
that you wish you could somehow take it from them, but all you can
offer is to listen.
* There are people who really need you to look past their weaknesses,
where perhaps other people do not.
* There are people you truly need in your life, and there are people you
just don't. Make a list, figure out who you really need. Enjoy them.
* People will hurt you.
* People will make you stronger
* People will not notice you.
* People will praise you.
* People will need you.
* People will not need YOU.
* People will see your strengths.
* People will not see your strengths.
* People will make you see yourself.
* People are at times your mirror. Open your eyes and look.
* Don't let people tell you are not worth it.
* There is only one Perfect person who walk this Earth.
Thank you for letting me share.
Love, Phaedra
