Through louvered windows, I see the lives of others, as others see my life.
The individual adjusts the pitch accordingly.
I have always had a large elliptical orbit between my sense of self and my meaning with the people around me. I guess that makes me human. Some humans are more human than others.
As my ellipse grows more and more oblong from my home planet, I spend more time away. Eventually gravity will slingshot me to another time, another place. I wish it weren't that way, but I cannot fight the forces of nature. In each last pass of said home planet, it becomes more somber; more bittersweet. For one day I shall never see you again.
With arms outstretched upon my departure, I wish not to leave, but if I must; please remember the words I left behind.
DENNIS.

i think it's really important to view life as you put it, as an orbit between your sense of self and meaning with the people around you. we are all connected, and we all intend to share meaning with one another. communication is a shared meaning, and if we do not communicate, we do not grow. we don't have to agree with everything people say to have this shared meaning, but we do need to acknowledge it. if we don't acknowledge it, shit falls apart. not just on the outside, but on the inside.
