What makes you stand out from most people?
I hate this question. In a lot of ways I am most people. I’m the way people get excited to pet a puppy on the street. I’m the way a simple compliment makes a person’s day. I’m the way bad weather can feel so good. I’m the way people regret things and struggle with the consequences. I’m the way people gather over food, cry when they’re frustrated, want to have meaning. I’m sneaking peanut butter M&Ms into the theater, charging my phone overnight, dreading doing returns. I’m embarrassing moments replaying in my head, I’m a struggle meal, waiting in winding lines for rollercoasters, and the way people point out horses while in the car.
It can be so boring to highlight our disjunction.
