Some people just don't like the same things that you do.
Some people just try their hardest to find the one mistake you made or the one thing to change next time.
Some people just can't ever understand why you do the things you do.
But......then......
There are those people that are put in your life because they fit in your life perfectly or they help to complete you life in some way or fashion. These people might enjoy the same things you do or they might understand why you do the things you do or they may just make life easier for you just by being there.
I'm sure if you just take a minute to think about it, you can come up with several people that are in your life that you know you would be worse off without having them there. Whether it be parents, siblings, friends, significant others, teachers, coaches, mentors, employers, acquaintances, or maybe its just someone that you don't even know their name, but they did something that has had a profound effect on your life. There are so many people that help to make you who you are and so many more that help you become who you want to be. I'm not really sure what has lead me to contemplate all of this, but it is definitely something that we probably take for granted most of the time. I mean it is unfathomable to think that some of the littlest things that have happened to you along the way as you were growing up or some of the people (who may have seemed insignificant at the time) that you have met along the way have all collided in some way to make you who you are. There's the challenge for you. A lot of people would obviously have their parents, friends, teachers, authors, world leaders, publicly reknowned figures, etc. on their lists of people that have helped to make them who they are today, but the challenge is to think of those people that have had an effect on your life that are even hard for you to remember who they are. Those people, that to others would seem like distant memories, that have made in impact on you.
I know I can think of a few for myself. Some are even people that I've never met in person, but their actions or words have made an impact on my life. Then their are others, that you may say are cliche, and maybe they are cliche, but thats ok. The newest person that has had an effect on my life has been my girlfriend, Maleah. I know some people may say, well that's one of those cliche people that you were talking about. True, she could be considered a cliche person that has had an effect on my life, but she could also be one of those people that are not so cliche and that have had a profound impact on my life. Not only is she someone that believes in me, someone that seems to make my life seem easier, someone that understands why I do some of the things I do, but she has completed my life. She has come into my life and completely helped me to begin becoming the man that I want to be. She has inspired me to do things that I may have never done without her around. When things might not be going right in other aspects of my life it doesn't matter as long as she is around to be with or talk to. These are the kind of people I'm talking about. People that you don't expect to be a part of your life, but that somehow, some way, you come in contact with. People that only God himself could have known would have an impact on your life. I personally thank God for all of those people that have been in my life. Hopefully everyone else out there is able to find these people in their lives....and hold on to them or at least to the part of them that inspires or effects you.
