Ears That Hear

“You cannot really be too concerned with what people think of you.  You’re on your own adventure of growth and discovery.  So it’s not always good to be who people think you are, especially if you subscribe to it as well… which is easily done, because then you don’t have to figure out who you are, you just ask somebody else.”
-Tom Waits
This quote resonated with me today.  I’m sure I’ve heard it before, or something like it– but those earlier experiences were like pasta noodles thrown against the wall before they were ready to stick.
