This video by Miranda July (who is the first survey respondent and the owner of the coolest name ever) really made me think, more so than I like to do on a Friday. I was trying to rack my mind to see if I was the favorite person of anybody. I know for my friends I'm one of their favorites ( or at least I hope), but to be the favorite, the one person who means more to someone and you enjoy more than any other, I know I'm not even close. And though that would be a tremendous honor if I was any one's favorite knowing me that title would freak me out and make me insecure that I need to live up to such high esteem. I would think I'm the favorite person of at least my cats, but then I realized they love whoever finds and holds them. Sluts.
But then as I was thinking about it more I realized that I don't have a favorite person. I have a ton of people I love and who mean the world to me, like a few people from AmeriCorps, Theresa and Hubby but there is no favorite among them. It is such a hard question and in a way if I was able to answer it I think that would be like disrespecting everyone that I didn't pick. Or maybe I would feel the need to pick out their flaws as to why they couldn't be my favorite, which wouldn't be fair at all.
Even if you're in a relationship I don't think that person would necessarily become your favorite, or at least that's how it's been with me in the past. A lot of the times I would rank a friend higher in the grand scale. And if you have a kid, what happens once you have the second? (I've heard) You're not supposed to play favorites.
I don't know, but I'm sure I'll think about the question a lot in the coming days but do you have a favorite person or think you are the favorite person of someone, oh ye mythical reader? I would love to hear about it in the comments. It seems like it would be a wonderful thing to know.
