Everyone is different, right? Every single person has at least one thing that sets them apart from others. And that is why people are interesting. They have so many different ideas and opinions. The sad thing is that many don't know how to let their ideas be heard without violence.
And that, is one of the sadest things in the world. Imagine being able to have an exchange about something, with someone that thinks the opposit of you. You imagine shouting, don't you? Now imagine that exchange, but with a conversation. A conversation where no one gets mad and yells. A conversation where you both accept each other's point of view. That is one of the many things that is missing from our society.
Acceptance.
And it is something too important to forget.
Many have asked me why I love looking at people so much. The truth is, I don't just look. I read, I try to understand. Thanks to a bunch of practice, I like to think I get to know people by just seeing them, how they walk, talk and act.
I understand them in ways that so many others don't, and that, is what I love. And what sends me over the moon, is when I see two people care and love each other. Whether it's just a little girl giving a grandma something she lost, or a couple walking hand in hand, or even just people saying hello to each other.
Those things give me faith in humanity, and they make me think that maybe, love is stronger than hate. And I hope that's the case, because a world where hate would win, would be the darkest of all worlds.
It would be a simply mean and bitter world.
A world we are unfortunately starting to live in.
So be kind to people. Whoever they are, no matter how different from you they are. Because in the end, we are all people, we are all human, and we need to stick together. We are all different, but we are all also the same.
People can be whatever they want to be, and I hope that what we all try to be, is the best versions of ourselves.

PoetryIf there was a price in emotion, this book would cost it all... Our tears were melodies that made our feelings a symphony. My life flashed before my eyes. And I got to fall in love with you all over again. I'm fine. But that's a lie.
