It’s all very strangely beautiful, the way humans are. I’m not sure I even know how to put it into words. It’s just, we all have stories, have intimate connections or even connections of little depth like someone you smile at in the halls or hug every day or have inside jokes with. Our lives are so unimportant and irrelevant to the whole world but, i think, so so precious. You can make people feel differently. you can make people’s LIVES better. You can do anything you want as a matter of fact. Write, play music, sing, make art, be an actor or a model, be a contortionist or a dancer. Nearly every person is truly capable. I was talking to this man who was doing my henna and we were talking about his life and what instruments he played and he said “Well I play the guitar, not well, but I would always say 'I’m trying to learn the guitar' but I’ve decided to stop saying that I’m trying and just learn, so now I carry it everywhere I go and play when I can” and just, you can DO that. It’s such bs when people claim they can’t do certain things because really, that usually just means you’ve given up. Maybe that man will never play the guitar that well. Maybe he won't put in enough dedication or have enough motivation to carry through with it. But dude he's doing it and he wants to and it brings him joy. There’s so much to do in this world that I can’t imagine someone being so stagnant and never trying to learn any skills. There’s too much to learn. There will always be more.
