You don't a thing about me...

Every once in a while, you have the opportunity to make an impact on the life of somebody around you.  It could be a fleeting moment, it could be a long commitment.  Time is not important, what is important is that you have an opportunity to step forward and flash a momentary glace at who you are.  What your values are, how you operate, your winning smile- all of these things come together to create an image for the person you are interacting with.

I can't stand when that image is negative after only a few moments of interaction.  You could be amazing!  You could rightly wish the person well in everything they do and offer them the use of your right arm for a lifetime of slap wars.  It doesn't matter, they'll still draw their own conclusions.  And at times, that arm that you've offered looks like it's covered in the plague to them.  Your blessing, their burden.

I am trying to learn what everybody else says I should, "you can't please everybody." Well, I know that!  I've got two arms, two legs, two ears- I can lend those to exactly 6 people at one time.  There are billions of somebodies to create our planet's "everybodies."  Some people are just going to have to wait to be pleased. But I still hate when no matter how hard you try, you're still something different to them than you are to yourself.

Oh you think that you know me.
