I'd like to think I'm the mess you'd wear with pride

to believe





I am not an artist, a painter, a musician.
I have never thought of myself as creative or flowing with ideas.
I am not a writer or a poet, though I ache to be so.

But I am a believer.
I am a searcher.

I am a believer in people and in their good nature.
I search for them daily.
I believe in their ability to love and to give, to change and to grow.
I believe in knowing people and not just knowing their surface but in truly digging deep and knowing the very essence of who they are.

Why are they them?
Why are they where they are?
What makes them move?
What makes them wander?
What makes them happy?

I want to understand people.
I want to write about people.
I want to remember people.

I want to believe in people.
