pretending to be deep

I always wonder about everything that doesn't make it into journal entries. Sometimes people share the little things, and the big parts of their life is a total mystery. Other people do things opposite: the big parts are out in the open while the little things are shrouded in silence.

I think I do a mix. When I'm in a hurry, I'm all about the big events, the major happenings, a basic rundown of what I'm doing or have done. When I have time to sit and think before I write, it's the little things that I feel like talking about.

I like to think about things like that. So I really do wonder--quite often, actually--about everything that people don't talk about. I know there's so much I've never mentioned. For example, I don't think I've ever said that Katie talks a lot in her sleep, but the only thing I've ever been able to make out of her mumblings is the word 'treasure.'

I'm not sure whether it's the little things or the big things that are most important. I suppose it's a mix. You can't really know a person unless you know the little details, but what can you really know about anyone if you don't know the big stuff?
