When I talk about one of my projects and someone don’t listen, I don’t take it personally. I just don’t talk about it again with that person. Much like I ignore write a few conversations that happen around me, I don’t expect their participation. I tell myself this.
This is no where near as dramatic as it sounds. My projects are done for me. My doing them is for me. My talking about them is for me. Really, my talking or writing about them is the vocalization of challenges, providing my subconscious a current perspective of the problem at hand.
