Witty without Depth

She made you laugh. She was witty and clever.
She was fun to be around. She was wild. She was crazy.
She talked of others. She seemed to know everyone and their lives.
She knew the best restaurants, the places to see and be seen.
She seemed magnetic. Yet her following did not stick.
She had no depth.

You may be as popular as the latest basketball star, but without depth you'll have no deep-rooted relationships. You'll miss out on that friendship bond that is cemented by deepness.

But how can you tell if a person has depth? It's easy to spot.

They demonstrate the following qualities:

1.) They display character
2.) They exhibit sincerity
3.) They communicate from within

Character: She possesses honor. She's without a doubt, strong. She stands up for what she believes in with fortitude. She's got backbone. She's made up of moral strength and does not compromise. She has willpower that is stronger than an Olympic weight lifter.

Sincerity: She means what she says. She follows through. You never question her ethics or her motive. She's the friend you wish to have in everyone you meet. She puts you before herself. She will always be there for you much like that special place where you feel secure.

Communication: When she speaks, you feel her passion. When she speaks it comes from a place of trust and love. When she speaks she communicates with character and sincerity. She is as communicative as a professor teaching public speaking.

She is interesting.
She is uplifting to be around.
She is modest and humble.
She is positive and does not talk of others.
She is genuine and real.
She is magnetic and her friends love to be with her.
She has depth.

I have known both and the first is usually pretty evident very quickly. I imagine you are like the second. Wonderful post. I strive to be all the best too. I feel like I am rambling! One of those days.

I love trying to read your post because I find them interesting and worth a read, but I really hate to say that the white on black really strains my old eyes so I can't stay long on your blog which is a real pity because I'm sure many others like me would stay longer.

I certainly understand the artistic aspects of your colors and what they signify for you because I did the very same thing when I first started out.

You have much to say, but maybe you could envision the older of us that have endured the same as you, but just can't read small white print or red on black.

Thanks for your time...Jude

wonderful post as always! i strive to be the second... or at least i hope to be the second. a woman who is dependable, selfless and most of all true to herself and her beliefs. someetimes i fail, as we all do...i think sometimes we meet people who have that essence that seems could be as deep and endless as the ocean... only to find out that it is no deeper than a pothole!:) thank you for your beautiful and insightful post.

Very nice. You have such a gift with language--your posts always make me take a look at myself and strive for the best.

I would add a 4th. That is one of belief. Far too often we run across people who have no belief in what they say or think. They are content with saying what they think you want to hear instead of having an opinion.

Right wrong or indifferent I respect someone who has a belief.
