When I look at somebody….and I mean really look, I see something quite wonderful about them. I don’t mean to but I do. Even the most awkward or unhappy, angry or physically not up to standards of society I manage to see something in them or about that that to me, is evident, even if it is something small.

Too often we get caught up in what we are supposed to look like, act like, be like, live like or we all wanna be something we’re not, or never will be!

Why do so many people, especially the younger ones, want to be someone else? Is it praise individually enough? Maybe it’s because we simply don’t tell our children, or our family, or our friends just how wonderful, unique, talented, special, beautiful, handsome, kind, warm, funny, intelligent, etc they are. Maybe we don’t stop to say, “Hey, you are quite remarkable!”

I know I get so caught up in my moments that sometimes I don’t stop and tell my family, especially my son, just how incredible he is in his unique ways. He needs me more than he needs anybody. His love is unconditional towards me, as mine is to him.

Maybe we all have to prioritize our little special moments to create even more. It will certainly make us happy which in turn creates even a lighter feeling within self.

I only say a compliment if I mean it, I believe you should always be genuine when complimenting, we can all tell when it’s not anyway, so save your breath until you mean what you say.

It amazes me though as most of the time the person I compliment will slap it back in my face and say “no, no”, especially the women, but I know that they walk away secretly smiling and feeling better than before they spoke to me. I see such beauty and colour through my eyes. I often wonder what it would be like to look through somebody else’s eyes and see how or what they see, I would love to have that ability. I don’t think any of us see exactly the same, so therefor it seems that we really are all from our own worlds, each creating our own realities.

I love people watching, I can go anywhere and just watch people parade past me all day. I actually look and see their features, outfits, wigs, nostrils, I mean everything. I don’t think many people do this.

Take for instance how many times you hear that witnesses say the person was Caucasian, about 5 ft 10, brown hair……how many people fit into that description? Millions!

The other day, mum and I were talking to a woman, I was horrified when she stated that she couldn’t tell the difference between Asian people or black people. I instantly fired up and made her listen to herself and what she was actually saying. I basically told her to look at their face and see how different they all look. (Just for the record so I don’t get grounded for a week, Mum agreed with me of course!)

I confidently say that I’m an observant person, I generally don’t miss a beat….most of the time, I just choose not to say anything as I can’t be bothered talking to idiots, so I just sit back and watch. But I have come to the realization that most people don’t actually see or take notice. I find that quite impersonal, but hey, that’s only my opinion and my opinion is neither right nor wrong.

Just have fun and see all of the colour and detail around you, it actually makes you smile….and when you truly think something nice, say it, as you’ll make someones day! But hey, again, don’t listen to me, do what you want!

Smile, cause I’m sure it’s beautiful!
