It's not about you, it's about me

I'm very attuned to selfishness, self-centeredness, and lack of self-awareness. I've also been thinking a lot about the concept of giving -- of time, of interest, of oneself.

I married one of the most wholly unselfish people I've ever met. Adam is always the one you'll find hustling to find a chair for someone who needs a seat, or to offer a visitor a drink. He's a good listener and a kind, giving person.

He's also rare. I'm shocked by the selfishness and lack of caring I often see in the world.

People, please wake up and realize it's more than yourself out there. Please do one goddamned thing today that's not about yourself. Just one.
