So today I was watching a news show and they were talking about back-up singers that make the lead singer sound great and I realized that its just like people in everyday life that make others look better. I'm the behind the scenes kind of person and never have been the front runner in the spotlight. I was the one they called when they needed someone to hold their hand in the hospital, make them laugh when they were having a bad day or when the needed someone to come and help them set up for parties or needed help with food.
The more I thought about this the more it made me think about the recent wedding I went to. I have known the bride for her entire life and this would be her third wedding. I had only met one of her bridesmaids before. She had never even spoke of the rest of them until a year ago. So when the speeches started the maid-of-honor got up and proceeded to give her talk about how she knew the couple for quite some time now and I thought really over a year is quite a while. How about a life time like me or other people that were there that had known her longer. I was there when she went to a girls home because she was a troubled teen, when she had her daughter, her first and second marriages and when they both began and when they both fell apart.
So getting more in depth I thought about all the people that I have been there for and thought to myself where were all those people when I needed something. Maybe I'm just being a little self-centered and maybe I should stop being so nice. Being nice is in my nature I will never stop doing for people and going above and beyond. I just wish maybe I would get a little more credit for always being there.
