all things being equal


I used to be thoughtful
but now i am just like you.
I used to be encouraging
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at calling
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at sending funny or encouraging cards
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at texting good morning
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at responding to your facebook status updates
but now i am just like you.
I used to leave voicemails wishing you a great day or a great weekend
but now i am just like you.
I used to be helpful
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at  being the first at offering to help people move furniture
but now I am just like you.
I used to be good offering to transport people, and for free.
but now I am just like you.


***
I used to be all about other people
but now i am just like you.
Now, I'm all about myself.

just like you.


(and when you ask why you haven't heard from me lately, read this poem)

Who are you?




I am hopeful | I am optimistic | I am timid | I am sad | I am shy| I am happy| I am energized | I am discouraged | I am fabulous| I am scared | I am beautiful | I am hurt | I am loyal | I am selfish | I am joyful | I am memorable | I am silly | I am brave | I am awkward | I am strength | I am nervous | I am confident | I am authentic | I am a believer | I am a work in progress | I am….ME.

a man
an uncle
a father
a son
a God-father
a brother
a nephew
a friend
I am a child of God.
I am love.
love.

Wisdom

You reach a certain age where you learn how to walk through a crowded party without stepping on anyone's feet. You reach a certain age where you learn how to wear the skin you've been given. You reach a certain age where you can look at your relationships to other people completely objectively. Apparently.
