Over the years, I’ve joked with close friends like Martin and Ben about my life as if it were an indie movie. A handful of things happened over the last couple of days which, once again, felt like a series of small melancholic character moments:
- I was diagnosed with presbyopia and learned I need reading glasses
- A possible programming job opportunity came up, but in Carpinteria where Dan & Snow had planned to start their youth center
- It was announced that Rian Johnson has signed a deal to make his own Star Wars trilogy
- The palm fronds which have hung over my balcony since I moved in–and which made my apartment feel like a treehouse–were unceremoniously chainsawed back
But all of that is merely craving & attachment.
