Beautiful

It is just one of those days. One of the ones spent outside at work, listening to music, strumming a guitar here and there, and talking about life with anyone who is willing to sit down and chat for a while. The sun is warm, the earth is blooming, and everything in the universe seems to be aligned in this exact moment. But I'm not here to write about this moment, or about this weather, or even about this universe at large. I'm here, right now, to talk about the people who make all of that possible. The people who have taught me to look at the world in such a beautiful way. The people who have been there to glue me back together, the people who have been there no matter what. The ones who have inspired me, taught me irreplaceable lessons. And the ones who just stop by on a sunny afternoon, just to talk about life and share with me one of the most priceless commodities man can offer; knowledge. Many days I find myself to be completely exhausted with the human condition; with the people I see around me who are shallow, selfish, and ignorant. My well of faith in humanity begins to slowly trickle dry. But then there are those people, those few, who cause a monsoon of love and wonder and brilliance, and again my well becomes full. This, right here, is an homage to you. There are many of you out there, I know there are. I know this because in my short 18 years of life, I have already found so many of you. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. You are vital to my very existence. This is dedicated to you, this and every single thing I do. This is for my wonderful friends, the one who will always be open to laugh with me and to cry with me. The ones who inspire me to create art, to love, to be who I strive to be. This is for the beautiful people who I may not see too often, but when I do, they always offer a word of encouragement; a word of wisdom. This is for the people I may cross paths with once or twice in life who are genuine, real, and making a difference in this world. For the ones I pass in the street with that look in their eyes; the look of truth, of exploration, of understanding. I love all of you, each and every one of you. You have all taught me so much, and in so little time. I love you. You are beautiful.
Never be afraid to share who you are.
Never be afraid to show what you love.
Never be afraid to sit down with a stranger, and pour out everything.
To talk about life.
Love.
Music.
Inspiration.
The Earth,
And what Lies Beyond It.
Never be afraid to reach out, for you never know what beautiful people you may come across.
And much like with me, these people could change your life,
For the better,
For the beautiful.
