Beautiful. My worst enemy is my ego (and my ability to maintain relationships I guess) and I often find myself thinking I suffer differently because of it. This wonderfully articulated the reality of the situation, and I appreciate your take on the importance of the small things.
Wonderful, wise post. So many people are spectacle-junkies; and it's hard to resist, I don't blame them. Self as spectacle is, to me, particularly damaging.
The ordinary is the extraordinary is an ironic realization. As we grow spiritually, we realize the world is much more that we're told.
"In a microworld where people are clicks and clicks are money..." Hit me hard, really.
Nice pen Alex! Chop Wood and Carry Water baby. Love your stuff.
chop wood and carry water, baby!

Feel you, Aidan, thank you so much
"His special identity is composed of all the little things he shares with everyone... " Beautiful!
thank you Gina
You surprised me with that “special identity” insight. I wasn’t expecting you to go there. Loved it. Loved the whole thing.
ah, thank you, Karl!
Wow. If a thing can embarrass, comfort, and reassure all at once, this is it. Great post.
Yeah this one was special. I’m taking notes.
didn’t know you were watching. And here I thought I was alone lurking by that ATM 🫣
The great arrow piercing the heart of our incredible uniqueness. So good Alex.
Hahaha man, we were probably watching each other to see who'd make a move first
Zactly what we were doing. No self consciousness at all back then 🙄
So good!
:)
Truth and wisdom in your writing.❤️
Thank you <3

Omg I love that phrase "self as spectacle," thank you Douglas!
A pleasure. It is better than narcissism, which is overused and not at all evocative.
Ima borrow that from you
this was beautiful
deep bow
Damn, that felt good to read.

Beautifully captured.

This is stunning. Ironic and hilarious and poignant. And maybe a bit too close to home.
Thank you for sharing!
