\u201cPeople have a really hard time just looking at you for you; they have to point out what they think you remind them of, which I think is a very strange phenomenon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We’re not flat surfaces, but multi-faceted and three-dimensional. As Jean-Luc Godard once said, “It’s not where you take things from\u2014it’s where you take them to.”<\/p>\n

I’m tickled by this human compulsion to give a reason to rhyme while defining the unknown (typically in binaries) in terms of the past. It’s not to say I don’t do it\u2014I do\u2014but it’s something that certainly raises a question for thought. Archetypal definitions create boundaries. Boundaries create limitations\u2014do we limit \u00a0others’ ability\u2014and our own\u2014to wow and teach us something new by setting up these ? There’s beauty in the unknown and even greater beauty in creating new definitions<\/em> of\u00a0our<\/em> own making, from our own experiences.<\/p>\n

I love that DVT raises that phenomenon. It’s coincidental, really\u2014I’ve always wondered why strangers were always so intrigued or trying to put a finger on who I remind them of. Today would be a perfect example; a sales representative at the mall literally flagged me down to try to pinpoint my ethnicity and piece together combinations of what<\/em> I could be. His reaction wasn’t unlike others before\u2014always surprised (and in denial; why, I don’t know). It’s entertaining and certainly flattering to some extent, but other days I want to end the 20 questions before it even begins.<\/p>\n

Look at me, for me, I want to say. What and why does it matter who I could be, when I’m just trying to be me?<\/p>\n

Thoughts, please. (And back to the books I go.)<\/p>\n
