Quality Human Beings.

Yesterday,

I particularly noticed

the quality of humans

around me.

Like your boss who wakes up at 5 a.m.

to make you all cookies.

Like friends who come bright and early

to pick you up.

Like coworkers who make you want to

give them your clementines

because they are so grateful

when you do.

Like shopping with a friend

who throws things that she tried on

over the fitting room wall to you

and then says,

"That looks better on you."

Like friends

that are still your friends

after years,

and take you on

not-really-dates-that-are-kind-of-dates

and buy you dinner.

Like people you see at a party

that you don't know very well

but who laugh at your jokes.

And you start to think about

wanting to get to know them better.

Like the party host

who walks around

passing out food,

and you can't help but look at her

in awe.

Like people who ask,

"How have you been?"

and you can hear in their voice

how much they want to know the answer.

Like friends who drive you home

every time

and sit in the car with you

outside of your house

because you want to keep talking.

Like roommates

who you love to live with

because they are always so kind

to each other.

It was almost too good.
