Connections are funny things.....
Sometimes they can come unstuck easily and sometimes they last a lifetime but whichever they are, you can be sure they are all important for some reason!
People come in to your life with different purposes.... to teach you lessons, to help you through a hard time, to listen or be listened to, or maybe they come to be the voice of reason.
It's hard to know how or why they happen.... they just do.
We meet people everyday and sometime they fall in to the 'acquaintance' category,
sometimes the 'Woah..... way too strange' category
and then occasionally you meet those incredibly special people that draw you in and you call them 'friends'.
When I joined Steemit, I had no expectation of meeting people that I would connect with on a personal level, but I have found that there are indeed those relationships to be had! It has surprised me no end that I have found allies and bonds and friendships that are growing deeper everyday.
I wrote this short poem about them....
I have always been drawn
To people who drag me from my gloom
The ones who have a presence
As soon as they enter the room
I don't care about sexual preference
Or whether you are black, blue or white
When I make that connection
I know, coz it just feels right
I've met some new people recently
You all know who you are
And although we don't live close
I will love you from afar!
So in conclusion, I will treasure all the people that I meet and nurture these relationships to grow a community that laughs together and grows together.
