In a way, everything you do is literally original. Sure, maybe you go to the same office every morning, but you're wearing different clothes, and it's a different day, and the weather is different, and it takes you a different amount of time to get there, and you log in at a different time, and so on. Thing is, when we talk about originality we really aren't talking about things that granular. We're talking about newness, freshness, but not literal originality. With that in mind, I did something I have never done today. In fact, I am almost 100% sure that you have not done it either.
TL;DR I bought pants at an ice cream shop.
We stopped in at Ruru Baked to grab a pint of ice cream after dinner tonight and, while there, noticed some new ballcaps in their merch. I'm a neighbourhood guy and we try to support the local places —— we had dinner at Bar Sugo —— so I figured I'd cop one of their new baby blue ballcaps. And then a pair of pants started screaming my name, so I copped them and plan to give them a very good home.
So, what does this have to do with anything? Nothing, really. It's just that when I think back to previous iterations of myself, which I do often because I am just as self-obsessed as anyone else, but, also, because I am going through one of those "what does it all mean?" periods of early middle age, there's just so much distance and difference between who they were and who I am —— and not only because they would never have bought a pair of pants from an ice cream shop.
And not only because they would never have bought that pair of pants, given their shape and size.
And not only because they would never have bought the fuckin' Obey horse fleece, which I did, because I

And not only, and not only, and not only.
And not only, and not only, and not only.
And not only, and not only, and not only.
I don't know about you but I find it very useful to check in with myself from time to time. When I do, I realize there's more there than everything that has been there previously.
