You have a brilliant mind-- and you have to use it.

Speaking with Jareen sort of shook me into realizing how easy it is to transform into one of those people that 'settles'.
I think it's okay that I don't walk around carrying big-idea dreams for myself just yet, but to not think that I can have them, or that I should have them, or that I'm capable of big things is a real shame.

We wrote a play together in high school. I still have it. It was very esoteric and 'insider-jokey', but it was hilarious and a pretty clever piece.
The two of us have always had the collaborative-click. She's a bit more on the 'creator' side than I am (always painting/making/thinking...talking); she walks around with a head full of ideas and usually does them...this isnt really how I operate so much anymore, but being around her awakens that part of me. I miss having that.
She pushes me without even meaning to. And I think I desperately need to be pushed.



She's an ideas-man, and she's spilling with enthusiasm and drive and ambition and I remember being like that. I want to be like that.

I need to talk to her more often. She has my aorta, afterall.
