I fw this so hard. The variable analogy is wonderful, and helps me think more healthily about the “look at XYZ celebrity and what they could mean to you as a ‘different’ man” discourse. Thanks for this.
This was such a wonderful read. As someone who has never quite fit I found resonance here. I really enjoyed seeing through a mathematical lens-just beautiful.
Thank you so much, Mark. Right, before we can “be something” for society, and many times that is a toxic goal in itself, we forget just to “be.”
And all those messages you mentioned want us to skip that step. But if we’re to be hopeful in this life, we should remember that there’s enough people in this world we have yet to meet who accept us and add to our lives just at “being.”
Powerful piece Evan!
I’m a lover of analogies and appreciate the way you weaved together your journey, baseball and the principles required to be oneself in both.
Thank you so much, Jamal. Yes, for everyone it’s a different journey with different poetry to survive it & thrive in it
