A mini-park outside the room
My previous post really got me thinking about the the people we let into our inner world. That explains the title of this post. Just like we ourselves are far from perfection, they will be too. The people we keep close are the ones who make us feel wanted, loved and happy, the ones who make us better people in the process and are essentially the ones who have passed our own quality standards to qualify as people worthy of association (note to self: if that does not sound like the type of people in the inner circle, chuck them away right now because they really should be garbage of yesteryear and it's about time to revise my quality standards for human interactions).
Humans are mind-mindbogglingly complex. For every dozen or so inspiring and likable traits some people have, there's bound to be a few imperfections. No one had Life spelled out for them so whatever they've become are out of their own realisations resulting from their intellect, inherent nature, experiences, environment, etc, so I think an exceptional human being certainly deserves points for trying. If we analyse our friendships that have survived the test of time, we have often grown over the little imperfections in them (that can be overlooked) like an old creeper plant does with jagged surfaces.
Shu is feeling like a cup of tea now and she realises that she has rambled a bit too far from the initial point she was trying to make...
So after some thought on the matter, Shu decided she should try to look at the few irritating traits of her good natured colleague from a different, non-judgmental perspective.
Though Shu does not express emotions much, she hopes her family and friends know she cherishes them very much.
