We Live Name To Name

I just had one of those nights. One of those nights that you wouldn't trade for all the money in the world. It's one of those nights that makes you believe everything is going to turn out just fine. It wasn't about being proper or expensive dinner or trying to impress. It was about smiling and laughing and shooting terrorists on video games. It was about awkward jokes and funny timing and weird stares from people walking by. I've had those kinds of nights before. But this was different. Because everyone has friends who are great friends but you know the fun will fade. You know reality will kick in soon enough and they will act weird. This night wasn't like that. This was a calm peacefulness that doesn't usually come with being around most people. Because most people are too stuck in their own ways or too selfish or too something. There are very few people who are so genuine that you don't have to try and read through the layers. You just know who they are and they know who they are. Sure, everyone carries baggage but not everyone tries so hard to hide it or hide behind it or whatever keeps them from being alive. Some people are simply people trying to go through life being people.

That might not make any sense but if you know a person like that then you know what I'm talking about. There's an aura of easiness around them. It doesn't make sense. These people could have complete crap thrown at them their wholes lives but it's about the way they handled it. No one has all the answers. You can't expect anyone to. And some people are better at explaining the answers they have. Some people are just good at being transparent.

I wish everyone were a little bit clearer. Some people think I'm good at reading people. I have no idea if that's true or not. But there's a reason everyone is the way they are. My whole point I guess is that I wish we could all be true people. I wish we could all see each other for who we are. And most of all I wish we could appreciate others. It's when people are able to act this way that reality can seem surreal. And this reality doesn't have to come crashing down. Wouldn't that be nice?
