Little B looking so tiny. My apartment so grown up and yet such a work in progress at the same time. Patio seating I bought in January that doubles as living room furniture and a desk chair. I like to think I am doing great though - as the picture my graphic designer friend gave me for my 20somethingth birthday in November says.
I don't - however - think I am better than anyone or anything. And I am airing a grievance I have with people who do. People who aren't team players. People who believe themselves above. Because I deal with such people day in and day out and it is taxing. It is tiring. It is disheartening and disappointing and actually depressing.
To me anyway. Because I'm all about community this year. Come to think of it, I may be all about community in life in general. I work by myself from a home office, I moved across the country solo, and I may not need to have support before I set off in pursuit of something or other, but I'm still a team player.
And I still prefer team players to egos.
It's all how you look at things, so I'll give people the benefit of the doubt that they're simply shining the only way they know how... and we're all born to shine, so Lord knows I can get on board and support that, but I just don't think in the long run those lone riders do too well. I think we're better for humbling ourselves. I think we're appreciated and lauded even for giving of ourselves.
You need help, call me. I got your back. I'm game. I'll say yes. What does it hurt to give a little time to extend one's self ever so slightly. Even to go above and beyond. There are plenty of days when you won't have to or won't be called, but the thing about "doing great" - great is arbitrary, it's fluff, it's a throwaway, the idea is, the point is... you're doing.
