I'm struck tonight with a lot of different thoughts swimming together. The day was filled with a few this-is-your-life conversations, the tears of a friend (and my subsequent heartbreak in seeing this), a long subway ride and walk home in the rain, a new hat!, hearing a wonderful interview on The Story and discovering ciao samin..
People put mirrors metaphorically in front of me and said this is who you are today. The truth is I didn't like it all that much. I'm pretty good at questioning why I do the things I do so I didn't see things from a different perspective after these conversations. Instead I felt more protective of who I am and wanted to respond by wrapping myself in something warm and keeping to myself. Sometimes I feel like no one understands or appreciates me.

Lovely words. There are people who understand and appreciate you. Know that. You might still be finding out just who they are, but they are out there.
