there is an old and oft used adage aboout not comparing the live of someone else until one hss walked several miles in their shoes. all of my life, i have compared myself to those around me and more often than not, found myself lacking. this little mind dump, hoever is not about self-esteem, it is about how well i see what is really important when i am around my peers. do i hear the messsage of recovery, even though they are “different” from me? the fact of the matter is, i am still bound by my prejudices and can jump to the conveinent tropes i have concocted about the world around me, because i choose not take the time to consider each person as an indvidual.
as i step out into a foreign country today, far from home and now time adjusted to the local time, i have to remember who is the guest here. my task is to enjoy my time, look for what is similar and see that no matter what, i need not be the royal pain in the ass, that i can be.
