"I slowly realized that the reason I was drawn to these individuals was that I saw snippets of myself in them"

A-Fest light bulb moment...
Placing myself in one uncomfortable event that I do not know anyone, I would normally find myself drawn to people who emit the same energy and vibration that I do. As I continuously intend to be open for possibilities and connection, I slowly realized that the reason I was drawn to these individuals was that I saw snippets of myself in them.
Each moment that I pause, observe and feel their eternal presence, I gazed at these beautiful beings and can't help appreciate their fears, struggles, love and hopes. And in that magical moment between space and time, I figured that I am them and they are myself.
As I continue to bask in the reflection of myself on these unique, flawed, beautiful souls, I had this familiar feeling that I wasn't able to feel for a time now. It's that butterflies in my stomach feeling, knowing that I am falling IN LOVE again with my own true unique self...
