Dad

Tonight my parents came back from their vacation in Mexico! Effing Mexico, while, I sit here in the cold... brrr. Anyway, my dad was talking about how my mom is amazing at meeting new people. My dad was in awe about how well my mom gets along with people. As in she feels comfortable enough to walk up to someone and compliment them. Remember these are people are considered strangers until you get to know who they are then they become friends. But, anyway my dad was going on about how my mother doesn't care about others sexual orientation, race, political stance or physical appearance. All my mom wants to do is get to know who you are. My mom made so many friends and listened to each of their stories. My mom took the time to connect to amazing people and I feel as if we loose this human interaction lately. We don't care what's going on in someone's head or we are too afraid to ask. I honestly believe in learning from others.  You could learn from their mistakes or success. But, it's also, amazing to hear how proud my dad was of my mother. Also, how well his listening skills are because my dad told me start to finish details about his new friends. People are amazing and have amazing stories. So, don't be afraid to ask a stranger what their favorite color is because they could become your next best friend.
A stranger is only a friend we haven't met yet.

The Unrequited love poem: How do you feel when you love someone who does not love you back?

It feels empty. The reason is because you want to shower this person in love. You want to blanket them from harm because they deserve to feel safe. I'd like to be the reason why this person smiles everyday. It's empty because you have to love from the other side of the ocean. Love is easy but, it depends on the people to keep it alive.
