I know I gripe about the stupid people I avoid. The people I love, admire, am inspired by? People who are smart and use that intelligence for good. People who are kind. People who have a strong sense of justice, integrity, and equality. People who are compassionate.

I am drawn to people who are passionate. I love people who are too smart to ask why - they are too busy trying to find a viable solution. I like win win people. I love people who are their genuine self without hurting others. I love people who value people over things.

I admire people who are curious not because they are ignorant but bevUse no matter how smart they are they know there is always more to learn in order to be their best self. I love people who sit in silence with a heart of gratitude. I love people who know how to apologize.

I love people who play their strengths while genuinely supporting others who can take on the areas they are weak. People who look you on the eye and give you their word that has more value than money. People who take the time to know who you are and love you for all of it.

I love people who view the world with hope and live a life of meaning. People who value others more than they value stuff. People who understand tomorrow promises a new day to be better, do better.

I love people who do not treat honesty like a weapon - but as a bridge to connect, or a blanket to offer comfort in shared moments of “me too” I love people who know vulnerability is strength and the right thing to do is what they set out to do especially when it’s hard.

I see and real and feel all of that about all of you. I am surrounded by genuinely good people who encourage and inspire me to be my best person. Especially when I tweet nonsense because no one likes the person who can’t laugh at themselves. you all.
