encounters of manyi was sitting here thinking today about all the people i have encountered and all the people i have experienced….
i honestly have met a multifarious of people and befriended SO many of them in my life. so many interesting, fun, funny, silly, crazy, courageous, intelligent, mysterious, classy, classless, popular, unpopular, famous, quiet, wacky, shy, breath taking, handsome, beautiful, quirky, memorizing, plain, magical, cool, peaceful, loud, sporadic, spontaneous, wonderful, touching, simple, mean, meaningful, jealous, non spiritual, truly spirited, bothered, charismatic, sinful, hilarious, talented, sensible, sexy, sassy, full of life, adventurous, sad, whimsical, witty, entertaining, boastful, uplifting, strong, proud, holier than thou, humble, admirable, loving, outstanding, sweet, undeniably caring, phony, authentic, selfish, controversial, conservative, flashy, unselfish, insecure, uptight, wanna be, hysterical, chilled, child like, peaceful, mindful, totally relaxed, respectful, disrespectful, amazing, lost, graceful, clumsy, chatty, vivacious, animated, irksome, engulfing, liberated, closeminded, politicly correct, random, charming, unaware, conscious, facinating people….
and so on and so forth…
i have indubitably come across an amazing assortment of people in my life time. i miss so many of them, and some i wish i could see more often - while some i just wish them true bliss and happiness and peace. i realize how truly blessed i am that i got to experience so many different flavors of people (so far) in my 35 years of life. some good, some not so good - but i know i crossed paths with every single one of them for one reason or another. i believe each and every one of them have all helped me figure out WHO i am, in one way or another, all these people have helped mold me into who i am….
today anyway….
whether it be past or present or possibly the future - some challenged me, some excepted me, expected me, some loved me, some consoled me, some pushed me, some rushed me, some guided me, some betrayed me, some waited on me, some waited for me, some tested me, some admired me, some confused me, some hated me, some laughed with me, some cried with me, some had a blast with me, some denied me, some forgot me, some remembered me, some looked up to me, some looked down on me, some forgave me, some knocked me down while some others helped me back up, some moved me, some overwhelmed me, some taught me, some road right along beside me, some filled my heart, some broke my heart, some grew up with me, some moved away from me, some moved closer to me, some complimented me, some compromised me, some excited me, some belittled me, some equipped me, some showed me the world through their eyes, some brought pure joy to me, some brought stress, some comforted me, some infuriated me, some calmed me, some inspired me, some replaced me, some welcomed me, some made room for me, some brought tears, some brought smiles, some brought faith, some brought hope, some brought peace, some brought wisdom, …..but sadly….MOST have moved on – without me – and me without them....

for one reason or another
but that’s LiFe….
there are very few still around me in touch, in contact and i know i will always meet new people and those people will make new marks in my life as well, and the ones still in my life will continue to have their places in my heart and the ones that i might have forgotten, but remember now and then if only for a moment – are still there, deep inside my mind, my heart and my soul….

forever
if i sat down and wrote a list of these wonderful, touching, important characters in my life, it would probably take me another 35 years just to get them all down perfectly and tell EXACTLY what they ALL meant or mean to me or how they prepared me for ME.
so if you are reading this….i BET you are one of them….in one way or another…you have affected me…and made me who i AM right now, today…..at this moment.
thank you….
smile & be blessed
