But the inverse is also true that the totality of human experience is too complex and big and beautiful to fit into this flattened narrow thing we envision in our minds. The work is in reconciling our vision with the fruit of our labor we come to see before us and making peace with that, and maybe even iteratively redefining what we consider as success and why it matters to us

š not in a hater-esque āthis shit is wackā way but in an radical-imagination-for-a-better-world way, i think thereās too much we simply canāt accept and if the stuff we *can* accept can be better, why not try? i think thereās a sweet spot between being content and being complacent and itās important to strive for something more while also recognizing that getting there takes time and we have to find solace on the journey while still putting foot in front of foot

šand not saying that from a negative place, but it's nearly impossible to actualize your dreams and be present in the moment when it happens. more likely by the time you achieve your dreams, you'll already have new dreams so basically the dream target will always be moving but that's what makes life fun! without having something to perpetually be striving for what's the point :)

āÆļøBasically everyone operates in their own little world of existence through their own lens. Realizing that when you take into account the billions of people in the world, or even the possibility of life among millions of galaxies, you are a grain of sand on the beach, for only a blink in time. Life moves on with or without you and eventually we will all be lost to time; which is kind of cool because it means your problems are a lot smaller than you think.
When time is so infinite for everything but the human experience, it kind of makes it more special that you exist. You have the opportunity to absolutely change someoneās lived reality for the better. A simple act of kindness could be the difference between sorrow, happiness, death, etc. You can be the reason that someoneās small piece in the puzzle fits better. Your existence and actions can literally change someoneās entire perceived reality.
Being both nothing and everything helps me come to terms with big emotions, and helps me keep perspective on who I am and who I want to be- rather that who I āshouldā be.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
