...it's in the details
"She has 6 different smiles. One: when she finds something funny, two: when someone makes her laugh, three: when she makes fun of herself, four: when she's excited about something, five: when she's nervous and six: when she talks about her friends..." -from some movie I was watching on HBO while lying in bed sick...it stars Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth...You cannot just love the idea of someone.
Or what someone represents.
You have to love the details of that someone.
the little things that make her unique.
the little details that set her apart from everyone else.
her little quirks.
the way her left eye twitches when she's trying to talk her way out of an embarrassing situation...
the way her fingers lightly touch her locket.
the way she tucks her hair behind her ears when she's uncomfortable.
the way she leans towards you and squints her eyes as she tries to listen to every word you say...
all these and more...in ways only she can...
an idea of someone you've never encountered to her fullest is nothing more than just that...
an idea.
a potential.
"love is all about the little things."
She's pretty.
She's smart.
She's sexy.
She's funny.
She's kind.
She's all that to you.
But how?
How is she pretty?
How is she smart?
How is she sexy?
How is she funny?
How is she kind?
how is she all that to you?
how does she affect your own little details?
Unless you have them, unless you know and understand the little details that make her different from all the other pretty, smart, sexy, funny, kind girls out there...
all you have is an idea of her...
and nothing more...

Hi! dropped by your blog lately and found it profound, inspiring and stimulating. Nicely done. With your permission, just wanted to comment on two of your posts, if I may.
IT'S IN THE DETAILS - - it is really very important to know and understand the little details of a person. It is not only the "what" but, as you say, the "how".
Let me venture to say that it likewise becomes equally important for one to ACCEPT these little details.
Little details can either be good or bad.
Good, by the way she combs her hair, by the way she twiddles with her pen while bored, by the way she taps her foot to the tune of a favorite song, by the way she winks at you.
Bad, by the way she stares, by the way she lets her mouth open for a time, by the way she picks her . . . . ., by the way she scratches her . . . .
Good or bad, they remain little details that need to be ACCEPTED. Some may need to be corrected, others may just be left untouched.
Still, these little details have to be ACCEPTED for what they are. They make the totality of a person, the totality of an imperfect person. ACCEPTANCE even in a person's imperfect state.
That's LiFe (that's my username) . . . . . God bless
