Misfittingly beautiful
It’s always the unexpected people I’ve come across in my life who I often wonder about.
The ones who I can’t forget ..
If I described even one of these people to someone..
They may think-
Well, survival of the fittest.
Hindsight makes me see that we can’t all be saved .
We all have our own path to tread.
But what if we could have done..
More…
More !?
Where does less or more stop?
The ones who touched my life so briefly ;
Often
I imagine what happened to them or what where their journey led them to before their final destination.
The people who have had a
an impact on my views are usually those passing or perhaps “insignificant” people who’ve brought out the best in me & who taught me something about humanity .
The humanity I was born with.
It’s not taught .
Humanity is our first grasp with the lessons of life.
Our first test in grasping what it means to us to be human.
Dedicated to those who helped me realise that my core is good & helped me to develop my own humanity & reflect on my own savagery.
We are beautiful misfits.
We are misfittingly beautiful.

Yes, it has taken me a long to time to try & choose the right people,to remember and those who may have had a bigger impact on my life but it wasn’t good for my soul & it didn’t bring the best out if me .. I don’t kbow if you generate or not; LaShelle.

I completely understand. There have been many times in my life where I’ve had to burn bridges- particularly with family because people were good for me. My father, my step father (took me over 10 years to have a relationship with him again and it had to be on my terms), cousins, aunts and uncles, my in-laws, certain “friends”. So yes, it resonates with me very well and I understand the importance of surrounding yourself with people who actually see you.

Big hugs . I can relate to the family bit too & they are meant to be significant but my dad was the 1st man to break my heart 🤣🤣😪. And I’ve had to learn to live with hatred , jealousy and not take it as a personal taint on my character .
I actually wrote this about the strangers I came across when I was living in South Africa. Xx big hugs
