People

People who need people...



That's me. I'm a people who needs people.

I had a little writers' block today. Unfortunately an ex in my life, who recently read my blog, sent me a text and said he liked my blog but also said why would anyone be interested in reading my blog when all I do is write about my family and friends. I told him because they can "relate" to me and my stories.

Since his remark, I've been trying to come up with an idea for a blog today, and found that his words were lingering in my mind and blocking everything else. So I think that I should write about that. Not about him. But people like him. People who just don't understand how important it is to relate to people. People who don't really need people. People who think, what can you do for me, instead of what can I do for you.

Empathy. Compassion. Altruism.

Empathy is being able to feel and share feelings with a stranger, a friend, even an enemy. Compassion, an awareness of the suffering of another person and wanting to relieve that suffering. Altruism, giving with no expectation of getting anything back.

I am blessed with empathy, compassion and altruism. Truly blessed.

I didn't expect anything back when I started writing my blog. But oh what I got back! Way more than I gave. And every time in my life that I have given without expecting something in return I have gotten back way more than I gave.

Thank you all my readers who relate to me, feel me, have empathy, compassion, those who are motivated by altruism.

You are the people I need. The people I want to surround my life...today, tomorrow and always.
