Just Thinking...

Something to consider that might help our perspectives. They can get narrow and we don't even notice it.

It's almost humorous to think the amount of people to notice something,

Twenty to thirty on a good day, on the off chance reaching a hundred.

So much of everything goes passing by and we don't care to notice.

We forget exactly where everything comes from when we see these words.

No matter how impassioned they might be, or just how dull,

They have a significance to the one who wrote it.

So when you read and see things all over the internet,

Or in a letter sent by a distant relative you've met once,

Think about the person on the other side for a second.

What does their message say about the way they feel?

I'm a dude wearing moose pajama pants at midnight, writing.

What do you see around you right now as you read this?

About seven billion people could have this thought,

But maybe only 10 will who end up reading this,

Some scanning along to pass the time idly,

Others browsing around for the next good read

With the rest just looking to exchange a few reviews

And there's nothing wrong with any of that because we all live differently.

I'm likely to get no responses at all from this long rant

But I expect nothing more because this is just a random tangent.

I was never trying to tell people how to live their lives

Except to look around once in their long days and think about others,

About the seven billion others, or just the people who wrote what the read.

It's a little meta but that's the fun of it.

I really love this writing, the main message is something I think about a lot since I'm hyper-aware do to things like anxiety. I really love noticing the finer things or the sentiments in a message from people, I think it's super important to try to appreciate people on so much more than just a surface level.

Thanks, it was just my sort of way of realizing how the internet creates such a disconnect between people when that's what it's supposed to do.
