Synecdoche

[proustianrush]

The weather, absolutely more than anything else, makes me feel like I'm home. On a day like today, when the sun doesn't come out to play, you can still feel it; the hazy layer between humans and gods is thin, nothing more than a membrane, really. Maybe that's why I hated the NW weather so intensely, because the sun is god and I like to feel as if

That's Austin? Wow. Fantastic picture.

"I tell myself that I don't relate to other people, but when I do interact with real live human beings I find that there are things worth knowing and life experiences of deep validity and new lessons for me to learn. I'm right about a lot of things, but I'm wrong about some things too. We all are. No man is god; we're all the same; everyone is everyone, and it's a mistake to think of your own existence in superior isolationist terms."

I've been thinking this same thing lately. I think I've thought it for a long time without knowing it, actually.

When I look at most of my good friends, most of them firmly believe that "I'm right about a lot of things, but I'm wrong about some things too." I think it's that mentality that attracts me to them initially, and that same mentality that allows our friendship to flourish. Confidence with an open mind

I realize that in a way, this is sort of "superior isolation[ism]". But you know what I mean.

*some for a lifetime*
-one hopes- optimism here. there's no point in getting to know superior fucking assholes. who are really just little packages of insecurity utilizing worn out defense mechanisms.

Give MARCUS a hug for me.

I'm trying to find the time (and the money) to get back down to TX to visit all of my high school homies. Austin's definitely on the itinerary, as it's the home of one of my besties, and also the #1 on my list for grad school options. Perhaps we'll have a chance to reconnect? And you can tell me all about your life.
