Ever feel like nobody really "sees" you? Like they don't realize who you really are, with all the flaws and quirks and traits that make you who you are. There's a whole person in this head, you say, but you only know a tiny part. Nobody knows all of me, you say.
I wonder, though, if it's possible for anyone but God to truly and completely know a person? Can you really know everything about anyone?
Will nobody ever really see me for who I am but God?
I do think it's true that you can never completely understand someone the way that they can understand themselves, because you can't get in their head. But you can know a whole lot, like what they look like in the morning with their hair mussed from sleep and eyes half closed. You can know how they react to things they love and things they hate, their face when they taste something good. You can know the way their eyes light up when they're in love. That and more.
And I think that it's enough. They may never see you the way you can see you, but they can see a lot. They can accept what they don't know, and love you just the same. They can handle all your funny quirks and love the things you do when you think no one is watching, like sing or dance, or smile fully. And that's enough.
They can see you, in the end, at least the parts that really matter. And that is good enough.
