I appreciate & admire people from afar.
I go on and on to my friends about some guy or girl that I'd never talk to.
I'm not even attracted to these people, just appreciative of them.
"She's so perfect/talented/beautiful/kind."
"He's so hilarious/friendly/amazing/flawless."
These people will never know I'm admiring them and I don't expect gratitude.
But it just makes me sad sometimes.
So many people believe no one cares, notices, pays attention, loves, appreciates, them.
So many people go a lot of their life believing that they aren't special in any way.
But odds are, these people are appreciated -
From afar.
Someone somewhere is telling their friend how jealous they are of your dancing skills.
Someone somewhere is blogging about that perfect guy at their school that they wish that they could be friends with.
Next time you're looking down on yourself, think of who could be appreciating or admiring you-
From afar.
