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.
