I just took a shower that felt like a baptism.
I washed off all the sweat, from zumba, and a 3 mile walk home, and the soot of the Hollywood air, and the makeup, and found myself to be.. a pretty damn ordinary person.
With ordinary relationships, and lots of friends, with whom levels of intimacy, and frequency of contact change, change with age, with proximity, as we grow up and dart around the globe... Still we all keep in touch... I know tons of people, and there's hardly anyone I can think of, that I wouldn't be happy to see, that wouldn't be happy to see me too...
I have a cat I spoil and love to death...
I go to the gym with friends... I take some college classes... I live in a studio apartment..
I have a shitty car--- I have--- ordinary problems: bills all the time, car repair, things breaking, falling apart, computers- getting viruses, losing a phone, forgetting to do something-- missing appointments...
Missing people, things breaking and falling apart.
Getting enough sleep- getting colds or viruses...
Forgetting to pack something.
Forgetting to say something, that I wanted to say... Missing people... forgetting the words...

The show is Veronica Mars. Sort of a guilty pleasure, because it's pretty much a high school chick show. But it has such an intriguing plot.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you my dear, are anything but ordinary. And I know you don't always see it and you don't necessarily believe what I do, but I think you were created for a purpose, and designed with gifts that bring a piece to the world that only you can. And, I think that so many diamonds shine out among the ordinary things in life. some day I'll say more about that. Right now I have to get my kids out of the bath tub and into bed. :)
