You latch onto things.
It’s what you do.

You’re looking for things that might “be you.” You are looking for things to… define you.

You are going at it backwards. And you can’t see it.

It’s a funny thing.
It really is.

It’s… odd. Looking at it from a different point of view. As in, watching someone else do it, instead of me.

Because I did it for so long.
It was exhausting.
I’m watching the same words come out… words that I thought for a long time.

For a while it was really frustrating, aggravating. So annoying. I’m not sure why.

But you know what? It isn’t anymore. Something’s changed… just a little bit.

Now I’m kind of just… sitting back and watching it unfold.
Just like it did for me, in what seems like ages ago.

It’s really interesting.
Really… really interesting.
It kind of makes me think.
Remember.
Maybe smile a little.

You latch onto things.
Things to define you, instead of things that define you.

It takes a lot to realize the difference.
