As Good As I Can

I'll try to put this together as good as i can without editing and such.

the people we see everyday should and can be the reason that we wake up everyday. today i was being a bit bothered by some people in class. the kid who wears his hat backwards and lens back inhis chair and talks during class. the girl he talks to who is very fakely tanned and asks questions like how many pages in a 400m level class. the other girl that talks and seemingly asks ridiculous questions .. those common sense questions. suddenly i thought of the owl. somehting ive taught a couple times myself but dont always rememebrer.

it will be harder to illustrate here since i cant draw. but picture a drawing of an owl. with 134 feathers, light brown and dark brown on the back, and whitish on the head. it has talons that are black, and yellow and black eyes. its beak is small and symetrical. that is the drawing of an owl. if your drawing doesnt match this it is a lesser owl, or not even worth being in the owl catagory. that is often how we view others in comparison to ourselves or how we think the ideal person should be.

this is how i want to see the owl.

maybe a curved line and a dot at the top of the line. none of the details that defined the drawing before, but i can still see the owl in the curved line and dot. why? becasue i want to see the owl, this owl can assume many forms and if you draw it it will be equal. this is how we can view people.

after remembering the owl i looked at my classmates and tweacher and smmiled at them. but why did i smile at them. if you dont know the answer i do.

i loved them. they were people like i am. not with hats or names or clothes or colors, but people in the very basic form. and i loved them for it. i love them.
