I don’t really consider myself a writer, but I didn’t know what writer’s block was like or what it felt like until I started writing. Or really until I stopped writing. You get the point. It’s been 372 days since I last put something out which is crazy to think about. So if you’re reading this and were for whatever reason waiting for me to write something again, here you go. I started this almost a year and a half ago, and in those 372 days between my last post and this one, I wanted to write. I just couldn’t for whatever reason. Some days I’d be like “Damn why can’t I write?”. I had kinda been consistent with it, but not really. But the times I was putting something out was because something made me want to. Or I felt like it. It’s really just a feeling. I don’t know how other writers do it, but it’s probably similar. Assuming you’re taking the time to read this, you’re probably like “What is he talking about right now?”. Just wait. I’m getting there. This is called self reflection, or something like that. Anyways, I had to remind myself that I started writing for myself during those 372 days and that it was okay not to put anything out. That was just a choice I made to share this. I think in my first post I mentioned that. I started this for me and it was gonna be on my own terms. There’s no grade, no deadline, no nothing. Just me and when I feel like it.

All my other posts before this had clever names and this one was going to have one too. “Each Other’s World”. But I just numbered it. I don’t know. I’ve thought about what I’m about to write about for a few days now. I met this person the other day that pretty much sparked this, so shout out to them. This might be a pretty cliché topic or whatever, but I don’t care haha. I think we forget about this too often. And that thing is that everyone we come across and meet, especially the ones we form a relationship with, come into our lives for a reason. Human interaction is probably one of the most special things we have and sometimes we take that for granted. I’ve taken it for granted for sure. Whether people unfortunately pass along, y'all grow apart, someone messes it up, it was all for a reason. I think there’s a lot of lessons we can learn from each other. We all have good people in our lives that we love and are close with. We have people that we go to school with, or work with, that are cool to be around. We form bonds with these people. It’s so crazy to me how a random person can end up being your best, or y’all become more than friends. Start dating. Get married. Start a family. It’s crazy. But that’s the beauty of human interaction. We pick up good habits from each other. We inspire each other. Teach each other. Make each other laugh. But of course there’s another side to this. The key thing about human interaction is the “human” part. People aren’t always good and it’s in our nature to not like these certain types of people when they come into our lives. We may have started out liking them, or we never liked them to begin with. We have our reasons why and that’s just how it goes sometimes. And then before you know it, just like the good ones, one day they aren’t there anymore. But they were always just as important as the people we liked and loved. We pick up on their bad habits and traits and learn from them. We see how they treat other people and remind ourselves of how to treat people the right way. They’re important. Everyone is. Good and bad. Those we like and don’t like. 

I wanna focus on the good people though cause they’re the people that make life enjoyable. They help us look forward to the next day. Look forward to the next time we get to hang out. You can’t wait to see them. You miss them. Think about them. Wonder how they’re doing. Even if you just met them. They make us happy. Fill our lives with happiness. Of course, I’m not naive to the fact that it’s not happy all the time. We have bad days. Sad days. Whatever it is, it’s not always great. And for those good people in our lives, they experience the same things. But the beautiful thing is that you’re always there for each other. It’s a good feeling knowing you have someone that’ll look out for you and check on you. There can never be enough of that. Those good people.

We’re all that good person to someone else out there. So keep being that person for them.
