say me, Jamie

There is something about it...

The metaphor goes like this: there are two parts of you now. There’s the old you, and then there is the new you that has evolved since college. The new you realizes the limitless possibilities, the search for wisdom, the unending mystery and ecstasy of the spiritual journey. The old you is the same; the same things people expect of you, the same situations, the same patterns. The disconnect is apparent: you are not the old you at all, but people are still treating you as if you haven’t changed. The new part of you struggles daily because it can’t be satisfied by the way things used to be. It craves wisdom, experience, and deep contemplation. When going through the motions, it seems that the old you is the one that people interact with, but the new you is screaming all the time. The old you only exists in time and circumstance, and propagating the lie is becoming harder and harder everyday.

...I think you thrive off of new experiences.


I think I do too.
