I'M NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM... AND YOU'RE NOT WHO I THINK YOU ARE!

I'M NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM... AND YOU'RE NOT WHO I THINK YOU ARE! I see you, I see what I see, I feel what I feel and I make up my mind on who I think you are in that moment. Yet I know there is so much more to you that's not visible to me, that I've not yet experienced of you. I get curious about who you are and I stay curious until or if the time & space allows me to know more. I'd love to know more about you, where you've been, what experiences you've had, what makes you who you are, who you've been, who you are now, who you wish to be. I want to know more than who I see standing in front of me...because I know theres more, there's always more. I say you...which I mean all of you with whom walk into my path. And I know I'm not who you think I am. There is so much to each of us that you do not see or experience on face value. We have a tendency to hold back, To mould ourselves into who we think we need to be for the people we are around in each moment. We adjust ourselves to fit in, to try and relate and well be liked. We all want to be liked and feel a part of something. But what about being liked for all of who you are, being connected with those who are actually interested in getting to know you, who appreciate all of you. Not the version you think they need to see, but the actual person that is you. It's also not about sitting and having conversations with each and every person you meet....that would take a bloody lifetime. It's simply about observing them in their way, In how they show up, In how they walk into a room, In how they speak, What they speak about, That will be the draw card for you to want to know more, for you to want to dive deeper into getting to know them. It's all in their energy & it's all in our energy too. Sometimes, all ones needs to do for you to want to know more is simply by walking into the room, their energy attracts you & pulls you in that much. For those who are not for you, you will know. For those who are for you, you will also know. Some, you will feel them standing right there on the edge of your space...you may find yourself questioning yourself a little, let them in, get to know them, then you will know if they're your people or not. I'm an observer...always have been, always will be. I watch, I listen, I'm often quiet until I'm not...until I'm ready to go in on wanting to know more. I'm also very aware of when someones not ready, so I never push it. To some I will seem closed off...which used to bug the shit out of me, Now, I'm ok with that and how people see me, because I know what works for me and I know who I am. I recently meet a lady at dance, something about her drew me in to want to know more about her & who she is, what she does etc. And so after seeing her, watching, our conversation started. Haha do I sound a little creepy about now...sorry, not sorry. Anyway....I liked her instantly, We could related on many things, it felt like I had known her for years, not just a moment. I learnt so much about her in that small conversation we had, in between dances, that I'm looking forward to hanging out with her more. The next time we saw each other, a few words were exchanged and not too long after that, she came up behind me, wrapped her arms around me and gave me a little hug... Like she knew something...like an old time friend would do. It surprised me a little, in a good way. When you let yourself just be, in what ever way you wish to be - for yourself. You begin to attract those who wish to know more about that person that is you. I know this to be true, by the friendships I now have in my life...and my friendships keep getting richer, because I'm allowing myself to be just me in that space of being me. And I know it works in all types of relationships, work, intimate, family...every relationship you can have. Learn to be ok with all of who you are...the good, the bad, the ugly, the beauty and you will begin to be ok with every outcome with every person that crosses your path...Because you know who you are. For the more we hide ourselves away, the less we live our truth. The more we live our truth, the more meaningful our relationships get to be.
