I am grateful

I am grateful

for the people in my life. Not the ones who were often into trying to make me feel bad for being different from them..not

the ones who felt they were doing good but only judged me for what they did not understand..but i am grateful

for the calm,

kind, humble, no nonsense people who show what they are inside as outside and move on. these people do not earn, have degrees from well reputed unis and so on but they are beautifully humane and they excel

in that.

I respect them for that. There is no pretention. No trying to make them feel superior by trying to put you down in a subtle way. Then pushing you to help them and so on. These people are who they were, who they are and who they will always be.

My body feels calm around them. There is no need for a performance. No need to create filters. No need to create intelligent comebacks to push back the insecure ones and put them in their place.

Not anymore. Just hanging out as we are and giving them the gift of presence since that is the best gift anyone can offer.
