And That’s Okay.
I’m a novelty that wears off quickly.
I’m also someone who grows on people—if they’re listening in stereo.
Some people meet me and feel an instant spark. I’m different. Intense. Curious. Emotional. Intellectual.
But novelty fades. And when the initial intrigue wears off, what’s left is something deeper—something not everyone is equipped to hear.
To truly understand me, you need to listen in stereo:
- Right channel: Emotional intelligence. The ability to feel nuance, sit with ambiguity, and sense what’s unsaid.
- Left channel: Intellectual depth. The curiosity to ask why, the patience to explore complexity, the hunger for meaning.
Most people listen in mono.
They hear one side and miss the other.
They feel me but don’t understand me.
Or they understand me but can’t feel me.
And when you’re only half-heard, you’re often misunderstood.
Too much. Too intense. Too complicated.
Or worse—just a passing novelty.
But those who listen in stereo?
They don’t just hear me. They resonate.
They catch the emotional undertones and the intellectual overtones.
They see the paradox and don’t flinch.
They stay long enough to realize I’m not a phase—I’m a frequency.
So no, I’m not for everyone.
And that’s okay.
I’d rather be fully heard by a few than half-heard by many.
