There are two kinds of people in the world. I’m pretty sure I’m neither of them, but I’m okay with that.
To whatever degree I’m in charge of my own life, it’s probably beyond my capabilities and short of whatever it would take to make me a featured player, rather than a bit player (or even an extra). I never ever thought I was the star of my own biopic. I’m barely capable of sustaining interest in myself, much less generating it in others.
Some of us just aren’t cut out to be stars. You have to want the spotlight, and you have to have something that makes others want you there. That’s part of it, but the key is that you have to do something to get you to the front of the stage. The things I do aren’t going to attract attention, because I plan it that way. I’m very happy here in the corner. The world is interesting enough without having any planets revolve around me. |
