no one else can have your same experience. your memories are only your own, after all.

sharing something means creating a new memory - you don't know what kind of memory that will be. after all, we can't just conveniently implant other people with our own experiences (yet. hush now, pervert girls).

so part of being friends is accepting that things will be different, but they were valuable because we had each other by our side. does that make sense? it can be so easy to forget after you grow up once.

#as for me - i grow up slower than everyone around me #it's not a good or a bad thing - it just is #i like remaining the same person i've always been - even the parts i'm not proud of #i still don't feel like i'm fully-formed - which is a good thing #i still have room to grow #but sometimes i can be too critical of others #well - if they were me they would have perfect taste. but they'd have a whole host of other problems - wahahahaha!!#matters of taste are funny because taste only matters to the one doing the eating #well - often there can be disconnect or discord from values not being the same #because we want to feel secure in our own taste #but i keep coming back to “there's no accounting for taste”#as for me i want to enjoy lots of things and enjoy them deeply #i want to know what's wonderful about everything #an awfully hedonistic approach to life i'll admit #but it works for me #and i enjoy the things i enjoy so fully that my own taste is the best in the world - that's natural #to see it any other way would be to try to fit myself in someone else's box #i defy that in any context #you'll have to build your worldview around *me* coz i'm not going anywhere #so too in gender - so too in matters of taste #where was i going with this?#ah well #i love you and i love to share with you. that's the only thing that matters #my world is richer for having you in it #and i'm very very greedy #so i don't want to let the things i love go #random musings
