Don't Underestimate the Importance of Your Knowledge

I was reading through some articles today and that statement really caught my attention.
We all are filled with knowledge that many others don't have and we don't realize it. But it makes sense though, because once something seems so familiar to us and a part of our life, it becomes our reality. Our actions that once took steps to master, have become our habits.
My habits as a student and news reporter are a lot different than a professional athlete.. or a musician...doctor, etc.

value your unique knowledge. this needle-thin thread path of life, taken only directly by you.
well, unless you got possessed by some demon along the way or something ahah

ah lame humor is so dumb and my fav.

Too often we underestimate what we know, always striving for more and more. Yet how often do little kids have the best answers to the most complex questions.

Throughout school, learning for me has never been mostly from the textbook. It's everything else. The textbook stuff is only a fraction of the lessons we're here to learn.

Life is a classroom. yYour friends/family.. the people you surround yourself with are your teachers as well as your classmates. It's an interplay of relationships, roles. Constantly changing, evolving.

And as for writing this right now, I feel it's all information everyone already knows, so why write?
Like Mark Twain once said, if you're life's worth living, it's worth writing down too.

I made myself grilled cheese with tomato soup a little while ago, and laughed while eating it thinking
"my elementary knowledge of cooking is reflective of my knowledge of life: so naive"
mostly joking with myself though

it led me to think about areas in my life where I am very knowledgeable.

It's interesting.. how everything we need really is right in front of us.
all the people, the resources, everything.

the only thing holding us back is ourselves.

What I've learned most from life is that is all about connections. with one another.

Everyone always knows someone else. Everyone holds a key of knowledge to open a door inside yourself you keep locked.

I can't even recount how often a simple stranger has affected my life seemingly moreso than the people I see almost everyday. That one little compliment.. making a quick simple joke.. exchanging short muses of interest.. etc. so much.


Life isn't a bout establishing an identity, or about finding out who you are. cause once you do (or at least THINK you do),
once you seemingly finally set in stone something you hold to be true, it'll change.

Life's a dance
between balance and chaos.

Once everything seems perfectly balanced,
still as a windless-day
All it takes is that gust of wind
to merge the flow
of silence and sound.
