People in life

There are people in life who listen to your silence. They notice when you’re distant, when you leave because you’re in pain, and when your silence yells louder than your words.

They’ll sit with you and wait until you’re ready to talk, and they’ll be patient with your processing. They’ll be eager to see you joyful again, but all the while they let you take your time.

They find your quirks endearing even if you see them as silly. They might even have the same quirks you do. Their transparency and honesty shine bright in a world of myths and half-truths and hiding behind masks.

They are excited for you in the mountain tops, and weeping with you in the valleys. But most importantly, you walk in between for stretches of time where there may not be any major highs or lows. Just the day-to-day life. But even those times are good because you can still find good things along the way.


As much as people in my life do this for me, I hope to do it for others too.
