This is a terrible, terrible thing. To me, at least. You can be attractive, you can be funny, you can be intelligent, you can be something very good. But if you've got an ego, that negates everything. The only good thing I can think of about it is its protective factor - people with egos are untouchable, and mentally have things much easier. But, being humble is one of the most underrated, most difficult, and most valuable traits. Putting yourself at or below your places actually puts you above everyone else. Check your ego at the door. Forget about it.
What an interesting concept, strangers exercising together, alone, self-conscious, self-confident, sweaty, germ-y, and usually flirty.
I feel the ultimate maturation is not to stop wandering through life, but to come to the realization that one is and always is wandering. To pride in it, to relish and embrace it, to take comfort in this fact rather than be anxious about it, to take advantage of it by leaping at opportunities, jumping into passions, surrounding oneself with all sorts of wonderful people, and committing to personal enjoyment and fulfillment. Wander deliciously.
Proclaiming yourself. Declaring a truth, a truth that is temporary, or perhaps not actually true, but the current reality for where you are, in your mind, in your location, in your life. Everything you do is making a statement.
That's what it feels like, that's what I am, when I'm sitting here alone with my thoughts, when I see or hear or read or think of something and it sets my synapses off like a string of firecrackers. I've been wondered. I can be not-so-alone with all my million thoughts swirling in my head. There's too much to think, there's too much in this world. I feel wondered by it all.
This is what I want to start calling you. It's funny that this should be the word - it's actually a huge coincidence. We are creating something meaningful, something personal. Slowly but very surely we are becoming a unit. You've done a good job of making me feel yours. This is my lame attempt in return. Maybe I can start working it in smoother. Or maybe I should stick to my gut - these things should happen organically. Bzz?
