You know what I think? Well, you know me,... I'm gonna tell ya'.
I think in this hustle and hurry world, people, most people, are STARVING for a real person to person human experience.
It's not that hard to do, just take a moment and be real. Share yourself, your true self with someone and you know what? I bet they'll really dig it.

What makes us who we are?
You know those annoying little typos that occur when texting or posting a comment to Facebook? We all do these things and that is just part of what makes us who we are and how we relate to each other. Even George Takei can relate.
I think it's interesting the different ways people react to their typo/autocorrect errors. Some people add a correction line below along with an "Ugh", some people curse autocorrect and try to correct their error and create another one (growing more frustrated), some people just don't give a shit and leave it or don't notice.
It sure is fun though being connected to so many people. I love being able to see what my family and friends are up to all over the world. I can just pop on to Facebook and for a moment interact with my friends in other states, see where my mom and son are traveling or comment on how beautiful all my nieces are and tease my friends. I can send love out into the world and have it reach a whole bunch of people. By the way, I can do that without any app or device, but I love the interaction.
I love connecting with people and allowing ourselves to affect each others lives. I love the little typos and imperfections of life, they help remind us that we are all just people out here in the world doing the best that we can with what we've got.
Let's all just take a moment to ponder that and give ourselves a freakin' break for not being perfect human beings. It will never happen and while we're at it, let's give our neighbor a break too, or that guy that cut you off on the highway, just take a deep breath and bless him on his hurried way. Sure, you can bless him with your finger gesture, maybe that's how blessings are given in your culture.
We live in a fast pace imperfect reality full of typos, cut-offs, overcharges, miscounted change and misunderstandings. We all do these things and that is just part of what makes us who we are and how we relate to each other.
The other part of what makes us who we are is love, tenderness, patience, acceptance, forgiveness and kindness. All of those things help us relate to each other as well and that part of us is where we can find our perfection. The perfectly loving spiritual side of ourselves.
So, yes it is true, we will never be perfect human beings, BUT we ARE perfect spiritual beings. Knowing that this perfect aspect of yourself exists and taking a moment to be in that part of yourself allows you to accept yourself as an imperfect human being and creates space in your reality for acceptance of other people's imperfect humanness too.
So let's leave our typos in our texts when they occur and know that when you see a typo it is an opportunity for someone to love themselves as their imperfect human self.
I live you ver much!!!
