Some People

Everybody lives and everybody dies, but there are those select few who fall into the category of "some." This category has no distinct emotion attached to it, but rather a plethora of emotions. These emotions are generally strong, going in either direction, thus causing the people attached to them memorable. Most people put people into this category who have done them wrong at some point, or who have let them down. We are too easy to let them reign in our minds. Yes, the people who do wrong deserve to be remembered so we can avoid such situations, but I think the people who need to be remembered and recognized even more are those extraordinary "some" who positively change our lives.

Some people try to break up relationships out of jealousy.
Some people hate you for no reason.
Some people betray you when you thought they were close.
And then there are some people who inspire you without trying.
They un-knowingly help mold who you became.
A distant example.
A beautiful mind.
So beautiful you wonder how it is possible to be so.
Some people who are willing to help at any cost - even those who don't care for them the way they are thought to.
Some people take pride in the little things - the behind-the-scenes things.
Some people who deserve to be in the spotlight yet humbly refrain.
Some of these extraordinary people don't get what they deserve.
In fact, it seems that the worst things happen to those who never had any reason to receive such things.
These people are usually the ones taken advantage of in a friendship.
The ones who give to those who should give back but dont.
The ones who deal with the un-fair things and are still genuine.

At first, learning such things makes me angry and spiteful against those who have done the wrong, but after the anger, it only makes me admire "some" people much more. These select beautiful people will never turn sour, no matter what comes their way. "Some" people have shown me that its not about how other people see you, but knowing exactly who you are and being proud.

To "some" people - thank you.
For doing so much more than you can imagine. I may have reason now to be close to you, but before this reason you were inspiring me still. You always amazed me, your beauty, wit, intelligence, vibrancy, intuition, modesty, humility, and unconditional kindness.
For you I pray every day - that no matter the circumstance you will remember how important you are, not just to me, but to many more.
Beyond the fake people who sadly have shown their true colors recently, there are still many close and a far off who you will never know your affect.

I have said these things before - more or less - and am only saying them again because they ring true in my life every day. You know who you are and the things I feel in my heart for you are too much to express outwardly in any fashion. I only hope that you can feel the love radiating from all those who truly care, and know that a piece of that love is yours. It is part of the love you gave us, that some didn't deserve.

Some people have changed my life.
Some people will always be with me, and I with them.
Some people make a difference.

And some people are the difference.
