have you ever wished people would just understand you? like all of your deep feelings and unique thoughts? i have. for most of my life, I didn't understand why people weren't just as curious about me as I was about them. I would tune in deeply to their stories, but they didn't reciprocate and ask questions about me. i assumed I wasn't interesting enough yet. that i needed to be better at holding attention. more confident, more successful, or more "right".

So I worked on myself for 7 years. Constantly healing, reflecting, diving deeper into my psyche and feelings. Figuring out who I was and what was unique about me. At the end of that journey, I just knew people would pay attention to me. ...but they didn't. then I spent 2 years being pissed off that THEY were the problem.

And finally I realized: there is no problem. not me. not them.

I'm just the kind of person that enjoys the journey of going deep. this is who I am. And in full circle fashion, I've come to understand myself.
