Taking Time

It has taken time for me to realize I have given up on people. I see the face of this young girl. She exudes confidence even though she is not that attractive. At her age, I was so timid. Much more than today. Much more of an introvert. I have never been that confident though. Not the way this girl seems to be confident. I have given up on people, including myself. I accept we are all insignificant. Restless doers. But still insignificant. We may try hard to fill in the spaces within. The spaces outside. We run places and we do things to occupy, to build, to make. And yet.
