I am in the midst of returning to work after an extended leave due to illness. I used to be curious about everything going on around the office, in case a change in programming or projects could inform my work in some way or offer an interesting opportunity. I am still curious, but now when the urge to ask about something that is not directly related to something I’m working on comes up I tamp that feeling down. I choose not to ask the question. I don’t need to know that, actually. And I won’t!
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
