Wee Gems

So this post is about something I've thought about a few times over the past few years. There's only one person I've ever really talked to about it before, and that's one of my closes friends who I went to school with. I think this will be a nice, happy wee Sunday post which I don't suppose will be very long as I haven't all that much to say about it, I was just curious as to whether anyone else felt something similar....

We all have friends and we like them for who they are. We know they have good qualities, and bad ones, and we get along with them because often we share or can relate to some of these traits.

But do you ever meet/get to know someone, and you just feel as though that person is 100% wonderful? I don't mean stereotypically perfect looking, with an amazing job and a gorgeous family, necessarily. What I mean is someone you can't imagine having a bad bone in their body, who is just lovely through and through.

These people aren't necessarily your close friends, in fact they often have a great many friends because they are so kind and therefore well-liked, but you can't help but to be drawn to them when they're around. It doesn't mean that you value other people less, because you expect people to have a few flaws, it's normal! But its just this rare kind of person who just seems truly good to the core.

I've been lucky enough to come in to contact with a handful of these people in my life, some of whom I'm sure only come across like that to me, but most of whom I think others would agree with me about. And the only way I've come up with so far of concisely describing them is as Wee Gems. Little nuggets of the best side of humanity, who inspire you to be the best version of you that you can be!

It's weird, because I don't feel jealous towards these people- I don't think of it as a superiority, just as part of their natural characters. But I wanted to try and somehow get into words how I feel about certain, amazing individuals.

To all those people, who will never know it is about them because that's part of what makes them gems, I wish you the best luck in the world in your every endeavour... I can't ever begrudge you anything because you deserve it!
