there are certain things in life i crave.
- friends. i think honestly love every single one of my friends for one reason or another. someone the other day told me i had too many facebook friends and that i should just delete the insignificant ones that i never talk to and only leave the people that are important to me. i found that idea quite silly... obviously every single person that i'm friends with is important to me--otherwise i wouldn't be friends with them in the first place. this train of thought prompted me to think about writing a little inbox message to each and every single friend of mine telling them why they play a part in my life: each quirk, every quality, all reasons that i need them... but a list of thousand people is a bit overwhelming at first glance. i mean.. where do you even start with that? what if you burn out by the time you hit the B's? The Z's will never know... and you can't just save drafts on facebook! hmmm. a puzzle to ponder indeed
- smart people. okay, seriously... witty, intelligent people fill that little space in my heart that craves something. i love when i'm sitting next to someone and the person says something that he/she thinks no one else can hear, and i hear it, and it's witty. it's witty as hell. and it kills me. and my secret respect for that person magnifies times a hundred... but they'll never know it.
- love. i just need people that i can love that love me back. straight up: i hold the highest level of regard for those people that have that mind-blowingly fathomless, unconditional love for other people. Real love. the love unobscured by petty things of the world. the love that they don't proclaim for all the world to hear... the love that just radiates naturally from them.
- people with talents: wisdom. patience. music. these are important to me.
... looking at this list, i must just crave people. i'd like to think that it's a quiet need though. i don't need to be constantly entertained, or be with a posse of 40 hot friends all of the time, enveloping me in their popularity... no, i crave people like a flower craves the sunlight. without it, there's a good possibility i might shrivel up and die, but with it, i feel warm and happy and fulfilled--blissfully content to sit back in the flower bed and watch life happen as it walks across the sidewalk in front of me.
i think i crave humanity.

I crave humanity as well. People/friends are indeed what make this life so much fun. Is a trip really fun with no one to share it with? Do stories mean anything if nobody knows what your talking about or can relate? I submit that it does not! I love your post, the witty comment part and the true love part. For isn't love the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own? That is true love, I as well admire such people who can bear so much love.
(I tried to sound smart writing this, did it work?)
