Remember that.

We are all playing our own game, so anytime you (I’m speaking to me right now) feel small (like now, after that meetup that just finished) remember that his life and your life (I’m talking to me) are in different leagues.
Temporarily, the Gods have created a little venn diagram and we both sit in the intersection of those circles. Soon enough, the “for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime” poem will kick in and the circles will move. The circles are moving now, in fact. I cannot predict where, or how fast.
I’m playing my own game. I am in a league with only one team: Team Me. My team plays and endless string of friendlies with other teams in other leagues.
But, true confession. My brain’s Envy Module and the Less Than Module . . . well, they are the burr under the saddle that keep me on the spiritual path. And they are prickly right now.
(Example from today: “I haven’t been on a plane in 2.5 years,” my friend said proudly. This has made his life better, in his eyes. I want to be on a plane all the time. That would make my life better. His league has many dimensions, only a few of which I would care to experience. So why am I rattled?)
Unrelated. You want to know what I’m proud of right now? That janky URL. No fucks given. Go, me.
