Arithmetic

....It's completely impossible to describe a sincere connection between two people. I guess it's because I've found that it's not always logical, despite how hard I try to make it to be. I'm used to numbers. 1+1=2. Always. I'm even okay with randomness, in fact comforted by statistics and probability. But when it comes to people. 1+1 does not always equal two. For I have seen 1 amazing person find an other 1 amazing person. And my goodness, the sum of the amazing things they've done together cannot be quantified by a number.  Most definitely not by the number 2.

....Because taking a step back to reassess and reevaluate doesn't mean you have to do it alone.

....And I've never really been a people-person. And while introversion has never steered me wrong, it's not because I'm shy that I avoid people. I think it's because I'm more of a person-person. Because with people, it's easy to get a little lost in all the words and faces. But with a person, it's easier to see what makes that person so extraordinary. After all, I've often found that the most extraordinary person in a people-d room is the person that doesn't ordinarily stand out as extraordinary.
