UNDERSTANDING
February 20th, 2024 | San Francisco, CA
I am… content. I realize I’m stressed, by things I can control. That makes me content. My end goal is in my hands. I have found another mentor. James Baldwin. He talks like a man who values truth. I have found that I also value truth. He shows me that intellect is not all that special a trait.
Understanding is.
It doesn’t really matter how smart I think I am.
I need to understand. Myself. The world. Those around me. A part of me fears the alienation that will come with this pursuit. How different I will seem. How odd. No matter. There will be those who understand my need for understanding. My pursuit of truth. And nothing says I can’t enjoy life along the way.
And there’s nothing I’d enjoy more than living this new life alongside those who love and value me. What more can a man really need? If he has family and purpose.
