People

I place people on pedestals.
There are some you assume are wiser, more beautiful, much more intelligent, more grounded, just all around better people...people that you wish you could one day become.
I've learned in the last few years that nobody belongs on that pedestal.
Everyone is someone in their own lives.
Everyone is trying to make a life for themselves, to be happy in their own endeavors.
And at the end of the day if you take some time out to talk to those you've placed so far beyond yourself...

You'd see that they are just like you.

I admire people for not wasting their opportunities.
I relish in their ability to make the most of their lives.
If in ten years I can be half as successful as they have become, I'll be more than lucky.

Everyone is the same.
