Membership and Belonging

Feb 10, 2014 12:46

In thinking about this post, I make heavy reference to a speech given by C.S. Lewis in 1944. If you haven't read it, go read it or at least skim it now. Here.

( On being a wannabe )

music, work, religion, gender

I'm not sure if I'll be of much help, I rarely ever really feel like I am, but I want to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate and sincerely miss you ( ... )

In essence to age and status, I am relatively the same age as everyone else at my store, but there is a severe maturity gap between most of us, so I have also found it hard to relate to most people I've met. I've pretty much given up on trying to be personable or to relate to everyone, as sad as that sounds, but I've felt pretty burnt out.

It's hard to find humans relatable sometimes. I mostly just end up resenting them. And some of our intentions are selfish, even if we don't intend on creating a certain situation, we do so anyway; we are creatures of habit. We may not always fix the things we do wrong, but there's always that intention that things will change. Through struggle, hard work, or by chance, maybe one day we'll figure things out. Maybe.

Lex likes and respects you, at least.

This actually really helped. Thank you. I miss you too, although I find you intimidating--younger and cooler and hotter than me, with better taste in music. I kind of assumed that you were nice to me to be polite--but you're probably good at using that as an excuse when actually you're shy or just can't handle leaving the house. Or something. Anyway yes, you're interesting and I want to interact with you sometimes. It will happen one of these days. (I get NEED ALONE TIME a lot in the winter, so not all of its not happening is you.)

Haha, cool cool. Don't be intimidated! I'm honestly not that cool, I sit at home alone and watch kids shows when I'm not at work. (ADULT) I also love Lex, she's adorable.

But seriously. I like your face. When one of us gets enough motivation to put an effort into it, we should hang out. :) Maybe we could cook? Cooking is fun (I think).
