HUMANS

We are all people. We all have our baggage, scars, fears, and boundaries.

We are who we are based on our own experiences. Each human unique to how we process and move forward in life’s situations. We judge others, have different thoughts or ways of dealing with these life events that are continuously thrown at us. We all react in ways that are right for us…. At least in the moment.

As time moves forward we grow, or sometimes we move backward. It is all how we see the “car accident”, depending on our own experiences.

I was walking the beach the other day in Maine. I search for heart shaped rocks. It is a way for ME to find love in a world I constantly seem to get lost in. I feel I finally find my ground, my way, when out of no where another experience happens where I need to look hard at myself, react to situations I am perhaps not ready to, OR, perhaps I am but didn’t have enough confidence in myself. It truly is a constant battle. One I am certain there is no winning or loosing at. Just lessons, some harder than others. Growth.

So, as I am walking, I find a group of snail shells and I couldn’t help but see humans. All bunched together in this thing called life. All of us, in the same world. We are all different. We each have scars that show, some are hidden behind smiles, behind fears, behind our personal knowledge of what has happened to ourselves individually.

As I started really looking closely at these shells I had an epiphany. I saw humans, because each single shell is different. Some are large, others small, all different shapes and colors, all have scars. Some show others are hidden.  All have their own uniqueness. Each shell showing their true scar, colors, individuality, yet each bunched together trying to get through situations. Each trying to find where they truly belong.

Look at them closely. They are all beautiful! Each and every one. Like humans!  We all see each other and try to find the ones that are familiar, safe, wanted, accepted.

My question is to you…. We are all beautiful in our own unique ways. We all have our scars, fears, interests, pasts. Each and EVERY one of us. Why is it we cant just love each other for our own selves? Why is it so easy for us to judge and hate others and never look inward on what we can work on… in how we see each other? Cant we just love each other for who we are? Treat each other as if we were each others growing moment? There is SO much to learn from each other!

What a beautifully different world it would be if we just could find the things we relate to in each other and love the differences and grow from each other’s experiences. See things from a different view of that “car accident” we call life. We never know whose lives we change in that one moment in time.

I have met an individual… that truly helped me when I needed help. This human, made me see life from a different view. This person changed me. I am forever grateful for that experience. A stepping-stone to growing for sure. I thank you, from every ounce of my being. Perhaps we may never talk or see each other again, but I do know this…. My experiences with this human, has made me rethink how I felt. I see a view I had not seen. Just like the shells. We are all damaged and have needs, we are all unique… but we must be true to who we are and be loved for that. Let love in… however it is offered. JUST LOVE!

Let us all try to see the beauty in each other… because come on… we ALL have flaws we hide or try to hide. Make a choice… see the good in everyone and lets stop being afraid to love ourselves AND each other! Shine your beautiful self!

 Peace, Love and Light friends.
