The great revelation had never come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck in the dark! (To the Lighthouse)
It’s a nice feeling. Said Bill Murray: “So what’s it like to be me? You can ask yourself, What’s it like to be me? You know, the only way we’ll ever know what it’s like to be you is if you work your best at being you as often as you can, and keep reminding yourself: That’s where home is.”
I used to think I had to sparkle to feel seen. Now I know, too much sparkle too often and I blind people. Better to do just as Virgina suggests—just be myself.
