Recently I started thinking about the people that come into our lives. The friends we make, the coworkers we meet and the people we encounter throughout our busy lives. I often wonder how these people come to cross paths with me and become entangled in my web of life. Is it just a common denomination of characteristics or common likes and dislikes? In a world over populated with many unique viewpoints, religious beliefs and aggressive emotional shortcomings, I find it difficult to believe that it's that simple. Why our paths cross, this I may never understand but it's in these special meetings that a bond or separation will form.
As the old adage goes, "with age, comes wisdom", I start to think about each encounter and how I'm interacting. Could things I say or do be misunderstood? As I get older, am I portraying the best possible me?
What I do know for sure is that my own personal self being is completely dependent upon me and how I grow as a person. I am responsible for who I am and who I want to become. I am responsible for the mark that I am leaving behind.
