There’s just something magical about those who are filled with stories; those who’ve made their lives the dream they always dreamt and took every step and made an adventure of it
There’s just something special about them, right?
I mean, when you sit down with someone who’s chosen to follow a different path than everybody else’s, you’re already in front of greatness because they dared to do the unthinkable; they believed in that impossibility and made it possible; they succeeded against all odds, and they made it better than anybody else
There’s this wisdom that just flows out of them, because they’ve exposed themselves to different places, people and situations; they’ve made big mistakes, but they’ve also made the best decisions in order to be where they are
I’m talking about those that have pushed themselves from the ground; and who understands you for trying to survive like they did, in a place where it’s harder everyday to leave a remarkable mark
Those that need the reading time to find themselves, those who understood that those answers that we seek are within us, and they can only be found in our extremes: when we’re stressed the most, and when we’re relaxed the most
Those who understand the power of the written word, and who feel the emotion conveyed behind each letter
Those… who know how to tell you stories of their own, and make them sound like a fable; those who struggled to be where they are today
Those… those are the best conversations ever held; those are the most interesting people you’ve ever met; those are, the lonely ones who nobody wants to listen speak their true minds out
People pay them to do the best they know how to do; to work; but nobody sits down and listens how they got there, what made them different, what pulled them forward, why they are special
And then, you allow them to speak up from their soul, to describe the magnificence of who they are… And that’s… that’s where the magic happens
Because you see the flaws in that perfected facade; you see the sadness in that practiced smile; you see the struggles in that comfort suit; you feel the pain in that loneliness; you understand the need of affection and the fact that there’s no time to actually show that need
You understand that for you to walk with a man like that, you have to give your life to them, because it’s the only way any kind of relationship will be held; you know that you have to give you aspirations up, so you can both at least keep in touch constantly; and then you also know, that you can’t give up on yourself for a man, and that you won’t find another one as spectacular as the one you’re walking from
But you know, that there’ll be a time when walking side by side won’t be possible; other responsibilities come along, and others will need to hold your hand, and he won’t be there to hold them with you…
And in that moment, those magnificent people realize that even though they’ve accomplished all their goals and then some more, they become numb when you have no one to get home to
Because at the end of the day, you don’t need someone to cook for you; you need that someone that sat there and allowed you to read your soul to them, you need the one that walked away, the one that you left
See, those people with stories need to be accompanied by those who have stories of their own; because they’re the ones they can be themselves with, they’re made of the same material, they both connect intellectually in a way no one else does. But the thing is, when you meet someone like that, she won’t settle to be someone else’s company; she’ll have a life of her own, she’ll create her own story
But they’ll always know that each of them have to give in to make it work, but if one them had given up, where would our fearless leaders be now? They’re family suffer the consequences, while we enjoy the benefits
Yes, people with stories are just this magnificent aura you have in your life; but they could also be, this magnificent flash moment that walked into your life and totally tore it apart; because once you meet, at least one with such life, you could never go back; they changed you, they changed your perspective… And left you hanging, waiting for the other spectacular one to pop into your life willing to make it work
