i sometimes wonder if i'm silly.

i see things that other people seemingly cannot see. and i do care about matters which people around me are apparently oblivious to.

i set high standards which eat up vast amounts of time, energy and, sometimes, money too. but few seem to understand why i do this, far less offer to support me in the process.

still, i struggle on. my life is often hard as a result.

yet what do i gain from this?

a whole lot actually!
