Food For Thought: Mystery

Mystery makes the man (and woman).

People are naturally curious creatures, and they like to find out and figure out just how something ticks. Or looks. Or feels, etc. 
Hold them to that. Any amount of mystery is worth holding on to. It's okay to be quiet or shy or different in a lot of ways, but don't give that sort of thing away just to fit in. Sometimes it's real important to stand out. Obviously not in a negative way... 
But it starts with the self, and it starts with one's own pride. It's about having high self esteem and a good sense of self awareness. Know who you are and be comfortable with it; embrace it. Be the person you are because it's the one thing you can be the very best at that no one else has. Smile because you are who you are, and that you represent the persona of your imagination. 
It's all this inside you that you can savor for yourself. Show yourself content. Show that you have what you need, and that you're not looking for something else. 
And there in lies the mystery. What does this person have? Why is this person content? What is the person hiding? I want to know what makes this person different than me. Because this isn't just some random person; no, this person has character like few others. This person stands out by being the person that he/she is, not someone else that's trying to fit in. A person that doesn't need to fit in or need something from someone else. This person looks like there is something to be said; worth saying. But here isn't the time and place. I would to find out how this person ticks to find out to hear what could be said. 
Beyond what lies beneath the clothing, the way the hair is done, the way this person carries his/herself, it's the eyes. The fact that I can't really see them, but really, the way they look when I can. They hide something. There's always something more.
