It's not always about you

Tali worries that Maya doesn't ask how she is doing, Maya worries Tali does not ask why she is not doing. Both of them wonder the same selfish thing about each other. Tali flies high, she has met a man, and of course, she lifts. Because it is all about what happens TO you that lifts you, not what happens inside of you, or around you that makes you happy, but what happens to you and oh, so often, it has to do with a man.

Why is that? Why do they carry this power.

Not just men. Career, success, if you have it you are defined, if you don't you are not. No one just sits still and sees themselves from the inside out. Outside factors always make a person who they are.

Maybe that is the problem. If we were ultimately defined by what we thought of ourselves and not what everyone around us though, man, boss, fan, we would all be giving each other what we really want and need.
