Others judge you by the outcomes
you achieve, but you judge yourself by your intentions. You judge yourself as
God does. This is why I like you.
You have no power over the
vagaries of your circumstances; to be in the right place at the right time is
not a matter of skill, but of chance. But you try to do the right thing in the
right way for the right reason. This is why I like you.
You have failed, but you are not
a failure. You have succeeded, but you are not a success. You have tried and
cried and laughed and struggled like a chick breaking out of its shell. This is
why I like you.
You are wounded and broken and
have ugly scars because you run to help those you love. When you are in the
wrong place at the wrong time, you do not quickly give up. This is why I like
you.
You allow yourself to like people
for the most ridiculous of reasons. You take your inspiration from wherever you
find it. You have a strange sense of humor and you can laugh at yourself. This
is why I like you.
You fall but you get up again.
You are at your best when no one is watching. And you know how to keep a
secret. This is why I like you.
One can love a person one does
not like.
But what I hold for you is
something else.
I see you as you are.
I see you real.
And I like you.
