Image description: a screenshot of a documentary filmed in the 1950s or 1960s. An elderly man sits on the floor of his workshop. The subtitles at the bottom of the screen say “According to 83 year old old Potter Yu, he has yet to find full satisfaction from his work so he often drives himself into a state of selflessness seeking that secret color, jade green.”
I got diagnosed later in life and I spent a while thereafter realizing things about people I grew up with. Like my band teacher who spent his free time trying to master big band era jazz trombone and was the biggest railfan I’ve ever known.
The other day I had the sudden realization of why I like people who are really, really into their interests, whatever they may be. 🙈
