So Unique

We all like to know that we are special on this planet - that we are like no other "That is so him!", that those who are close to us know what we like and dislike "She's going to love this!", think of us when they see something that reminds them of us "I thought of you today." Make a mark on someone, leave an imprint, bring a smile to their face when they think of a special memory shared. We all want to be recognized for the awesome person that we are, confirmed of what we've done with our lives, with ourselves, we want to be seen not just for what's on the surface but what's at the heart of it all. It beats, it cares even though it's poker-faced, trying hard not to let emotions leak that might overflow, trying hard to be strong for everyone else's comfort zone. Our own life experiences, our own points of view because of where we came from, the kind of upbringing we had, our socio-economic background, family influences, friends who helped shape us - it all comes together, expands, falls away, recycles, comes full circle, again and again to make you more you, unique, so unique.
