One of those things that you never really think about until it happens. It’s an easy thing to overlook. So easy to say that you are “good,” “okay,” “safe,” etc., but it can actually be the very thing that makes you feel sick. Trumann Arkansas is a perfect example of this.
I have friends who are married. Their marriage may be perfect but it isn’t because they aren’t at risk. It’s because they don’t give a damn that their marriage is perfect. It’s because when you have a perfect marriage, the perfect people in your life, you don’t worry about stuff like your job, kids, or finances. You don’t care about them. You don’t have to. They don’t.
This is why I like to use this example, because it is so easy to relate to and make my point. Life is perfect, but in the moment, we have to remind ourselves of that. A perfect marriage? Maybe, but not everything about it. A perfect job? Not everyone can do that. A perfect job isnt going to kill you. Life is not perfect.
Life is not perfect because not all things are perfect. That’s a big thing that’s a great conversation to have. The people you love or care about might not be perfect, but you are able to love or care about them. You are able to make them happy, because you are able to care about them. And when you are able to care about them because they are perfect, you are able to love them.
People often ask me why I love Trumann. Simple, I dont. I love them because they are perfect. I love them because they are the most perfect people in the universe. I love them because they are the most perfect people around.
That’s a bit of a generalization but you get the point. To me, Trumann is not like any other person I’ve ever known. Trumann is not a perfect person. But they are perfect to me. I dont know anything else about them. I dont know what makes them tick. I dont know if they are crazy. I dont know anything about their background. I dont know anything about their goals. I dont know anything about their personality.
Trumann is a bit of a mystery. He is one of the few people Ive met who understands. He does things that I have never dreamed possible. He has an incredible ability to not only understand, but to see into the future. He is a master of mental time travel.
Trumann started out as a designer for a large corporation. He worked his way up to being a CFO, eventually being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. He is incredibly bright, driven, and intelligent, but he just doesn’t seem to understand why it is that he keeps doing things. Like on the video above he is talking about how he once saw himself as the future director of science fiction films.
He is such a great guy though. I mean he was smart enough to get into a big company, he’s a great guy, and I love him. But it’s just so hard. I mean, he’s a designer. And he doesn’t know why. He doesn’t know why he keeps doing what he does.
The truth is I think its just something that he has been doing for way too long. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and the answer I came up with was that he is a person that just feels trapped. He is so trapped in his own world that he can’t get out because he feels like he is constantly losing himself in a world of his own.
