At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. so this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. no matter how much we hurt them. the people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. and sure, sometimes close can be too close. but sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

If you set your bar at 'amazing' it's awfully difficult to start. your first paragraph, sketch, formula, sample or concept isn't going to be amazing. your tenth one might not be either. confronted with the gap between your vision of perfect and the reality of what you've created, the easiest path is no path. shrug. admit defeat. hit delete. one more reason to follow someone else and wait for instructions. of course, the only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing. but not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are.

I live in new york city. i could never live anywhere else. the events of september 11 forced me to confront the fact that no matter what, i live here and always will. one of my favorite things about new york is that you can pick up the phone and order anything and someone will deliver it to you. once i lived for a year in another city, and almost every waking hour of my life was spent going to stores, buying things, loading them into the car, bringing them home, unloading them, and carrying them into the house. how anyone gets anything done in these places is a mystery to me.
