Anonymity

So I spoke on etiquette. And that is all I have to say about it. Kidding. It went alright really. As good as it could considering the nasal congestion. I must say though, this whole not being in the public eye thing is sure different. A good different. In a strange sort of life experiment kind of way. Ok let me explain. When you're uh "known" you live in a world of applause. Even when you don't think about it, eyes are there somewhere in your peripheral with an opinion of who you are. And when you're uh "normal" there are no eyes, no applause, you are who you are, no preconceived notions, just you, right now. And that's pretty wild! Incredibly freeing. Yet still strange. Mark Shuttleworth once told me that one of the craziest things he experienced after returning from out of space was learning to walk again. And that's kind of what I feel like sometimes. Like I'm learning to walk again. And maybe that's why I treasure simple seemingly insignificant moments. Because they do matter. And because this life of anonymity is such a sacred pleasure. With that said I sure as heck do miss those VIP concert seats;)
