My people ..

it’s hard to explain

Everyone has “people” they tell things to, rally around and just consider to be the closest thing to family. I’m fortunate to have some and they know who they are.

But there are people who believe they are my people especially when we’re together. For that short time I even wonder if they are my people and think they might be. But, the real test happens after we part ways.

The real test comes with time and yes, actions. To be sure that they’re “my people” I ask myself one question … “do we keep in touch relatively regularly.” That’s it. And it goes both ways. To me relatively regularly is contact every few weeks or so to talk, catch up, stand by and just let the person know you’re there and you care. If we check in with each other every few weeks or so, then yeah they’re my people. Pretty simple.

Until the next time.
