souls & humans & ya

people are oh-so interesting.

everyone is so different. (cliche alert)

it's amazing really. humans. so strange. so functional. so dysfunctional. so awkward. so graceful. so willing & so lazy. so weird & so normal. i feel like everyone has something unique & beautiful about themselves.

but right now, i just want to talk about a certain kind of human.

the kind of human who is REALLY a human. 

...i mean a real human being. who IS just human. does natural human things....and isnt afraid of human tendencies but embraces them. embraces the world around them.

a human with a lyrical soul.

ANNND what do i mean by a “lyrical soul”? ...

well.

when you meet someone it becomes pretty evident whether they have a lyrical soul or not.

like hmmm. lets see...

it's when you can talk to someone about beauty, opinions & sounds. and have it NOT be a joke and it's not just small talk.

when you can just be silent with someone. 

when they make you feel like you can tell them anything & they will understand it completely. they not only feel for others and feel what they are going through but they can express those emotions in a way that seems like literature. they listen to you when you pour out your heart to them. they give you feedback. not just “oh cool” or “thats funny” or “thats weird” but “oh my gosh you know that reminds me of this..” or “wow... how did that make you feel?” or “what was going through your head? were you sad?” i love that.

i call people that are like that, “lyrical souls"

& i absolutely adore them.

we all know them. those people that don’t just text you every once in a while & thats when & the only time you talk. 

it's those people that call you randomly while your on your way home from work just to tell you a funny story. 

those people that want to help other people. those people that would let you sleep on their couch for a year if you needed it without asking any questions.

those people who aren't afraid to ask you for favors. those people who aren't afraid to ask dumb questions. those people that aren't afraid to like what other people like even if its considered “cliche". these kinds of people don’t strive to be different…..they're OK with already being different.

the people that listen to loud music when they’re excited & music with a lot of bass and meaningless verses when they want to get “pumped” for some event.

they enjoy listening to soft music with their eyes closed & their arms folded across their chest as if the music is already a part of them. and its as if as the music goes on… its like its coming out of their souls.. not out of the speaker. they bask in it.

i love people that appreciate talent. that don’t tear it down. no matter what talent it is. 

they long for the presence of other abstract people but get along with everyone.

they make other people feel like everything is possible… just by smiling at them. or telling them about their dreams & goals. no matter how realistic or unrealistic they may be. 

why is it that when these lyrical souls smile at you its like all your happiest memories flash in your mind & your body feels like it just 'took a deep breath through it’s very veins? why is it that these lyrical souls can act so desperately but it isn’t a plea for attention & it doesn’t turn you off…. its like they are desperate in that they long to satisfy your own plea for attention. it actually turns you on & makes you more interested. 

they make you feel like you are a much better person than themselves. yet in doing that, you feel inferior to them. they are so magical really its uncanny how unreal they seem. 

they make you feel like every human is your best friend... because every human is beautiful & crazy & wonderful in their own way.

maybe thats why when you find someone like this you become so involved. you want to be with them. you want to talk to them. you want their opinion on everything. you want them to be your soulmate.

these are the kind of people it takes time to get over. you know why? because a part of them gets left behind in everyone they meet. & that part of them is called ‘positivity’. its a lasting effect they have on people. 

also because the most “erotic thing is good conversation” & you want to pour out your whole heart & soul to them every chance you get. every time you feel something new or experience something you want them there to talk to about it. 

talking to them, talking about them makes you have this feeling in your stomach. the same feeling you get at the end of a mystery movie when they are about to reveal the whole plot & you’re just so happy, excited & anxious, its that same kind of feeling. makes you happy. they tell you what they feel when they feel it no mater how appropriate the time is.

giving someone something physical of yours….a kiss, a hand hold, your time, your money. you can do those things over & over again & its physically the same pretty much every time. what makes these people different is that when these things happen, its depth. it different. its memorable.its meaningful. its a whole different experience. 

in fact. they make you feel like you don’t need those things to feel good.

they aren't materialistic. but they don’t wear boring clothes. they act like an idiot when you’re alone with them but then they turn into a witty humorist & a class-act when you go out with friends. they’re crazy, yet they’re sensible.

they’re beautiful creatures, really. they’re like magic. & you can’t seem to forget them. ever.

they remind you of all things dreamy. 

they’re intelligent, they’re funny, they just get you.

 they’re lyrical souls. 

& look.... i know the whole time you were reading this, you had one person in mind. go tell them. tell them you love their mind. tell them they have made you feel this way. why not tell them? if they really are a “lyrical soul” they will reciprocate positively. so you really have nothing to lose. they would do the same for you.

if not, go find one. become friends with one. but be careful to date one…. because you won’t get over them easy.

& hey. who knows, maybe you are one.

and how cool would that be?

sorry if i wasted your time but i'm pretty positive you will get over it.
