Connections

Connections. True connections are so very rare. You may think you have found one only to see the light a week, a month or even years later. Finding someone with the same mind set as you is a beautiful gift that too often we don't receive. People don't open up fully. You may think they have. Hell, maybe you think you have... but did they really? Did you? Just knowing someone is different than understanding someone. Understanding is deeper than knowledge. There are many people who you know but there are very few who really know you. I think it is impossible for someone to know me the way I know me. I honestly think that throughout your entire life no one will know you the way you know yourself. It's impossible. Others - no matter what you think the connection may be - can not and often do not even try to get into the corners of your mind. The corners where you often wander off to when you are alone. People are lazy when it comes to getting to know some one inside and out. Maybe it's just me..maybe I am too complex but I feel like I am made of little rooms full of thoughts, emotions and memories. You cannot define me by listening to me once. You have to dig deeper and those who don't take the time to, those who give up, well, they no longer occupy one of those rooms. I am very picky who I give my thoughts and time to and it is usually to those who reflect sincerity.
