Inherently Mine

What qualities are inherently mine?

I think that I inherently love and need PEOPLE. I believe I have a rather singular capacity for compassion and empathy. I believe I am able to trust. I am able to connect. Inherently, I seem to enjoy life. When left to my own devices and when I do not worry about what others think or where they are at, I LOVE FUN. And, I am fun. I don't believe that I am inherently the life of the party. But, I believe that where there is fun-there I should be. And, I add to the fun. I believe that when I am accurate to myself, people are better because of me being in their lives. Inherently I can listen to people and really HEAR what they are saying. I believe I see redeeming qualities in pretty much everyone. I value my ability to see things from multiple perspectives. It is mine to adore someone. I have that capacity. I believe that often people miss me when I am gone. I think I have something to offer a room. I have the natural capacity to REMEMBER. I notice details and I remember the important ones (and the trivial ones at times). When related to people, this links to my ability to help others to feel their own VALUE. And, it is in me to value people! I can see so much in others. And, I love having people around me. Not to say that I don't have some inherent parts of me that revel in quiet and calm and alone. But, I am more ME with other people around. I am not shy. I think that a lot of people know bits about me and that a few know a lot about me. Inherently, I talk. I chatter. Freud would relate this to a complex rooted in the oral stage :), due to my cleft palate. But, even when my mouth is moving, I have the ability to notice what is around me and who is around me and the way they are responding to their environment. That is inherently mine.
