Restless but not angst-ridden. Quite loving this life, but I'm never complacent. Always looking for that momentum to push me further like a sail waiting for the right wind. Perpetually aware of Time's forward motion, I dread those necessary bouts of inertia. Funnything: Now that I have all the friends I could want and a greater degree of comfort, I find that I am willing to leave this behind and take on more risk. Going down this path, I'm loving the journey so much that I almost hope I don't find what I'm looking for.
MY THEORIES ON HUMAN RELATIONS:
(truly) Wisdom-seeking individuals -- I find them the most attractive. Clear like diamonds in a tray full of broken glass. So sharp, they will cut other gems around them... so they don't necessarily play well with others. I treasure these people forever.
Reticent individuals who treat friendships like popularity contests will inevitably disappoint EVERYONE... most especially themselves.
TRUTH is seldom popular... thank God not everyone is so desperate to be liked.

In 1922, the stunning Gloria Swanson declared, "I have gone through a long apprenticeship. I have gone through enough of being a nobody. I have decided that when I am a star, I will be every inch and every moment the star! Everybody from the studio gateman to the highest executive will know it."
