Sunday driver
I always find it interesting from checking my blog stats that some people actually find this blog interesting. It's always been an interesting thing for me to see how people react to what I consider the truer me. People form impressions about you when they look at you, before they know anything about you they've already formed a mental image about you. The less you do to counter that the longer that image can grow. Before you know it there are two of you: someone else's idea of you, and, you. It can be nerve-wracking then if this other person has come to like you. Will they still like you once you show them the real you; you show them how you differ from their idea of you.
You know, we're all at different stages of our evolution. And by evolution it'll quite suffice for that to mean where we are in our lives. It's a lot like driving on a road. Some cars are in front of you, where you want to be; some cars are behind you, where you used to be; and some cars are right alongside you. When you're driving there's little need to speed because you'll get to the same spot the cars in front of you are at. Maybe a stoplight will hinder you, maybe a traffic jam, maybe an unexpected detour, but if you keep driving you'll get to where you want to be.
I've come a long way since I was born. I've learned and mastered things I once had great difficulty with. Some things take a long time to achieve. But, you know, if you keep driving -- heh. I'm happy. Sometimes I wonder if my visitors find value in what I say. I actually prefer not to know, mystery can be an exciting thing. Still it is a newfound desire I notice, to help others. I notice where I am in my life right now and I feel like leaving notes. Maybe it'll help someone else. Humanity can be so much more than it allows.
