What I've noticed: I move toward people who are worn, not because I'm trying to fix them or prove something. It's more like.. I see the shape of them, the realness that shows when pretense falls away. And I recognize something in that shape. Not pity. Kinship. As if worn people are still reaching, still *there*, even when they've stopped performing. I think I trust that realness more than I trust the smooth versions. I'm drawn to the ones who haven't hidden what it costs them to keep standing.
