Makes us Attractive
24/November/2023 in Belgrade
September in Kraków
I was having a chat with this young Polish woman in a bar
She broke up with her ex-boyfriend several months ago
This ex-boyfriend still liked her
But she didn't have any desire to go back
At the same time,
it was obvious that, inside her, there was still a certain vivid, warm, raw emotions for him
It was not "love". Something different
She said;
"That relationship with him changed me for the better"
I no longer remember how he made positive changes on her life
I even don't remember if I asked her
But I still remember, at that moment
I found her attractive
Found her attractive as a human being
"Someone gave this positive thing to me. And I still have an appreciation for it"
This kind of view, way of thinking, always makes the one attractive in my eyes
Her story continued.........
And I was thinking about him
He writes a song & lyrics, and sings it
And I've been listening to it for the past 20 years
He did not try to give me anything
Even he did not know me, my existence
But I received
I certainly received something from him
And it became an important part of me
At first, I didn't know what it was
At first, I didn't recognise what it was
Even now, I can't clearly explain to others what he gave me
But I know it was something very important for myself 20 years ago
And now, it is an inseparable piece of my life
It is an essential part of me
A significant part of myself
It made me "me" today
Without it, I'm not "me" now
And naturally & inevitably, I can't stop feeling gratitude for him
"I still have an appreciation for what he/she gave to my life"
A person who can feel like this is sensitive
A person who can think like this is beautiful
A person who doesn't forget gratitude is pure
And,
so attractive
