Daily writing prompt
Who are your favorite people to be around?
An interesting response for a Tuesday morning.
The people I like to be around or to surround myself with are those who share the same interests as I do, and as well have interests of their own, which they love to share with others.
People with a variety of interests make life enjoyable and oftentimes exciting. However, I get that there are those whose interests and activities can be immensely focused on one thing and one thing only. That's wonderful(for them). It's hard though when you get together, to hear of that one thing for hours on end.
As well, those who are exceedingly "A-type" or have strong personalities, won't find themselves around as long as folks I like to spend time with. Not that they would care much.
We all want to be around those who affirm us; understand who we are and accept us, regardless of our blemishes and shortcomings. Those who will listen to us; really listen to us. Not those who talk simply to hear their own voice.
To be around those who want to live life to its fullest extent. Who take life not too seriously. But, seriously enough to be an effective member of society. Whatever that means.
When we find those we really want to be around, and not on some superficial level, we should consider ourselves blessed.
