I'm wondering if this is true, of everyone; that there is a thing, a particular, individual trait, in each person, which they share with no one else.

And perhaps this trait becomes a hole to be filled, a yearning that isn't ever quite matched.

And maybe this yearning defines the path of us, forever, defines what we are and what we become.

Or maybe that's crap.

What do you feel that no one else feels? In what way are you fundamentally apart from those around you?

What's the negative space of you-and-others?

i'm me and i dont share a consciousness with you.

when i was younger i used to agonize over this. it seemed particularly cruel to me that people would be forced to live their lives without actually ever really truly absolutely seeing the world just as someone else sees it.

we are all secondary sources to each other.

Have I mentioned the "seeing in negative" concept?

to explain what the individualism of myself is like would take a long time. A whole lifetime in fact. And I'm not done yet...
