I was wrong about myself.

Have you ever thought about

what particular traits you have

that make you lovable?

Maybe it's just me,

but I have a short list in my head

of things that I would like

the people who love me

to love me for.

I remember once,

there was a boy who liked me.

And I was sure

that he didn't know me well enough

to appreciate the things

on my list.

And so his crush on me made me mad.

No!

How can you think you like me

if you don't know the things about me

worth appreciating?

(Not saying

that was the best way

to view the situation.

I know

I was immature about it.)

Anyway,

I've always thought

that right at the top of my list

was my perspective.

The way I view the world.

The way I see beauty in everything.

I love that about myself.

But lately,

I realized

that I was wrong about myself.

The best thing about me,

the most important thing about me,

is 

the way 

I love people.

I can't believe I didn't see that.
