thrive

i passed a fiat on the way into work today. it was from new york state. this made me happy. i like the idea of fiat entering the N.A. market.

adaptability didn't used to appear on my radar but it's starting to grab my attention. it seems to me that cultural and personal adaptability is an important part for growth. to not only learn to do things differently, but to see the value in changing with one's environment. being unwilling or unable to adapt can be dangerous and detrimental. i know i'm not the quickiest adapter, it takes time but i get there. like with most things, i'm a bit of a late bloomer. i bloom at my own pace but get there eventually. i dunno. i feel these things are particularly pivotal in issues like politics and religion. when people don't change with and adapt with new information and new eras they're just asking for trouble. begging for it. because new expressions and perspectives grow and swell under pressure and will eventually explode under a glass ceiling of oppression.

she might break eventually. she's not an adapter and is trying really hard to fit everything in the comfortable box of status quo.

world view is a big factor in things like adaptability and acceptance. i just finished reading (aka listening to) a thousand splendid suns. it was shocking. it was honestly jaw-dropping. the oppression was unreal and illogical. as i think about it i feel slightly suffocated, it's enraging. i'm super grateful that i live in a place where, as a woman, i have the freedom to walk down the street without a male relative, have a job, and access medical attention.
