Undercurrents of Possibility

"True progess means matching the world to the vision in our heads"

As unbothered as I try to seem, it really does help to know who's in my corner and rooting for me. It really does make a difference to hear that I'm doing good things. Sometimes I feel like everything about me is so easily overlooked. It helps to know that I'm noticeable.

Some days the feeling of being alone is overwhelming. I have love, I have companionship, I have things that bring me joy. But I have yet to find anyone who can see right through me; someone who I can bear my whole soul to. I try to live as honestly as I can. But I feel like there's still a whole world of things I wish I could express. Maybe that’s an impossibility. Maybe it's something we all wish for once, but eventually, that wish gets forgotten and wiped away by the thrums of everyday life. Sometimes I see others, and the way they live their lives. And it feels like I'm glimpsing true joy from the outside. And I wonder, is that what people think when they see me? Or do they not notice me at all in the midst of it.

“I lost my job last week.  I was there for six years.  It was the first job I’ve ever lost.  It’s hard not to take it personally when someone tells you that you’re not needed.  There were ten people on my team, and I’m the one they chose.  So my mind has been running through all the possible things I could have done wrong.  The first few days were the hardest.  I spent a lot of time crying.  But m…y birthday was a few days ago, and my friends took me out for a taco night.  And it woke me up.  I started laughing.  I couldn’t even remember why I’d felt so sad.   My life was so much bigger than that job.  I’m healthy, I live in a wonderful city, and I have a great group of friends.  I just lost a small piece of the pie.”

Neil deGrasse-Tyson gives a great answer to the question math teachers so often get: WHEN WILL I EVER USE THIS?!?

“Whether or not you ever again use the math you learned in school, the act of having learning the math established a wiring in your brain that hadn’t existed before, and it’s the wiring in your brain that makes you the problem solver.”

Something inside me shifted. The little kid in me erupted. She said, You see me. I am finally seen. It takes so little, really. How well do we see someone who we know only for a brief while? How well do we ever see anyone at all? I know too much and I know nothing at all.
