conversation is amazing when we're free to say things people often won't because they hate themselves.
these situations, almost daily, have a way of making people understand that all of us are one.
but isolation and division will be our destruction if we can't communicate.
so as i contradict myself and forget all i've said,
i am free.
-- "in conversation" by the juliana theory
i can't get this song out of my head. and i'm wondering if there's a good reason for that.
lately i keep hearing comments from various people about how very complicated i am. it's not as if that's a surprise. i am complex. i observe & internalize almost everything. i am a lover of details & understanding how things are intricately connected. most of the time this is of beneft, but sometimes i wonder if it hinders real connection with someone.
last week i had someone look into my eyes and say to me, "you're trying to figure me out, aren't you?". apparently in my haste to figure out what made him act and react as he does, i retreated into reconnaissance mission mode without really connecting to the conversation. at first i scoffed at him and then i recognized that not everybody wants to feel as if they are under a microscope always with me. it is something i've always had, that intuition and intrigue with understanding individuals and their stories. i know it's a strength that can become a weakness. but in actuality, don't all of our strengths become a detriment at some point?
