Role Playing

Everyone in our lives is there for a reason. Today, I though about how each person fits a certain need or role in our lives and we fit a role for that person. Multiple people, of course, can be multiple things, and roles can shift as needed. We all fit some emotional or physical need.

In no particular order, think about all the roles we can play and that people play for us:
The person that listens to your rants
The one who always has advice
The person who rants to you
The judgers that judge with you
The hugger who is there at the right time
The person who makes the decisions
The one who will always go out when you need it
The one who will always stay in when you need it
The spontaneous planner
The one you will cry in front of
The funny one who can always make you laugh
The ridiculous one you know you will talk about later

Even if we get frustrated with people, they fill some part. It makes me think about what role I play for others. I know how I see myself and what I think I do, but we are not always aware of everything we do for other people. So many people fill so many places in my life, and I bet they do not always know it. So thank you. Thank you to everyone that is a part of my life. Good or bad, the roles you play make the world go 'round!
