what they want what you wish

[ceagle]

There's really so much and so many peeps for whom I'm thankful.

And there's a lot of times I wish I could just say, "i luv u and i'm deeply grateful for your friendship"
Though I've learned that it's too deep just to put out there all the time.
People just don't want it.

Or there's even some people I'd go as far as to say, "u r my hero"
But people tend not to want to be heroes. It's a lot to live up to all the time.

It does make me sad (a bit) that I can't bubble and glow with gratitude so much more of the time. But I've tried it and it doesn't go over. And what's the point of making people uneasy or awkward, especially if that's not the intention. (rhetorical)

People just seem to want to have glimmers of gratitude, not fountains of fawning, even if it's sincere. Just say something or do something nice for them once in a while to let them know you acknowledge and care, I s'pect.

It's a struggle, but I've come to better terms with it in recent years. People don't really want to be put on a pedestal. At least the good ones don't.

...Just know that you are loved and appreciated.
