When I took my son to his first day of school.
Nodding through last week’s Monday meeting. I was furious.

You may know your friends. It might surprise you to know where they are.

Your answer may appear on this page.

Knowing a pattern exists doesn’t mean you can recognize all the places it’s been showing up in your life.

Patterns make more sense in hindsight.

Two people can look at the same pattern and recognize it completely differently.

Putting the two paintings together is weirdly satisfying.

Some patterns make you laugh because you know exactly where you do that. Some take a while.

Hearing where other people locate a pattern can make you see something you hadn’t seen.

Apparently playing with your friends or your partner may reveal “how not self-aware they are, and that’s going to suck.” 😂

You can finish a game having looked at some pretty profound shit and still mostly want to beat Nadia next time.
