But the thing is sometimes we become things that we do not want.
“Do you think you know yourself very well?” He submerged half of his face, strong lines edging and framing it to separate him from the rest of the world, the backdrop for his presence. I was thinking I want to remember this face. A brief, contemplative silence was followed by him shaking his head, moving the waters surrounding him.
Eight months later, he said, “When I am hesitating it is not good.” He does not know himself very well but there are some things about himself that he claims to know very well, with the level certainty that is probably forever out of my reach. One day before I said, “I think it’s good to be skeptical.” When I have doubts I feel good because I am more aware of the possible shortfalls and work my way slowly to prevent or solve them.
Opposites attract. It’s just that at some point in time, one is bound to be more attracted to the other.
