favorite conversation of the day

Was chatting online with an old and grood friend this morning, and mentioned my new bangs.  The conversation below is what happened.

(09:13) Me: i guess i meant that my bangs are straighter.
(09:14) Me: across.  rather than being swoopy to the side
(09:14) Friend: oh, kind of like mine?
(09:15) Me: sort of, yes.  not actually as long as yours since my forehead is about as tall as a tiny troll doll.
(09:15) Friend: and mine is as tall as a large troll doll
(09:15) Friend: i like this new form of measurement
(09:15) Friend: i hope they adopt it as the international standard
(09:16) Me: me too!  i was just thinking that this conversation has a good chance of being my favorite of the day.

And so, to commemorate it as such, I've published it online.

on a related note...

I saw this quote online and it reminded me of my last post.

"Meanings are not determined by situations.
We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations."
--Alfred Adler

There is truth to that.  Nothing that feels very vindicating, though, unfortunately.

significance

It's interesting to me that multiple people can view the same event and assign it different amounts of significance.  This is normal, but can also result in disagreements and/or hurt feelings.

I've learned about myself that sometimes, I can assign too much significance to something or someone.  This is probably a human condition, now that I say that.

I've also learned that during certain times in life, almost everything can feel more significant.  Grocery shopping, driving down certain streets, signs I read along the road.  It can be overwhelming.  But I also am saddened to picture the day when these things no longer feel significant to me.
