Many are the intersections that I find myself now. I like fashion maybe not more than another person but perhaps differently than most.
I like music. Maybe not more than everyone else but in a different way I suppose.
I like getting better at the things that matter to me. Not in what is expected nor even what is usual, but in the ways that I find interesting and curious.
So does it matter that I do them in a way that you can handle?
I suppose for you it does.
You need to understand and ascribe a meaning to it. But, you want me to bend to your way
And guess what, so do I.
I want you, to do you in a way that I understand too.
I can see where this need is valid, but... it isn't necessary. We may never get what we want out of a situation like this; so can we agree that its ok if we don't get it. Can we agree?
We can have different choices. I don't need you to believe in what I say nor should you. We can still discuss it if you and I agree. But now, if we do, it is to seek understanding instead of agreement. Not one of us making the other choose.
Maybe we each have a point. Maybe we don't. But we can't hear each other in a zero sum game. If one of us has to lose.
I love to write. Even when its hard. Even when I don't think I have the time. Even when I have no plan.
You may not agree. YOU have other things you do. That you like that you think is a more logical use of time. And that's ok. too.
You want something
I want something
We both want
And we can both agree on that.
And… we can both learn from that.
