in most domains, the most talented performers have some edge that allows them to level up faster than the average person, and daviespite hng this edge, they still chose to put in much more time than the average person.

they spend most of their waking hours pushing the bouulder even though it's way beyond what people consider the finish line. for this kind of person, there is no concept of a finish line.

the talent domain is a component of their identity, not just a skill equip.

i flew to boston with R and E on the same flight w delta. i saw an old woman paint on the plane wiht water colors. when the plane was landing she held hands with her husband sitting across the aisle. i felt a rush of warmth and longing, a glimpse of a future i aspire to have with T. we arrived at the marriot late evening. my room had a beautiful corner window view of boston.
