NERD

Heyo,

Today I was talking with a coworker, who asked me what I liked to do in my free time. I answered read, write, hang out with friends/family.

He replied, "You're kinda nerdy."

Now I know this, I like involving myself in nerdy things, but it hit me when he said it. I don't know how not to be a nerd. It is just part of who I am, but I don't like being confined to something, maybe I am not a nerd, what then? I have no idea. It doesn't really matter anyway, because I like what I do. I like to read, so why do I recoil from the label?

When my coworker said that, I smiled, because I was thinking through the things I like to do.

He asked, "Are you happy doing those thing?"

I said, "Yes of course."

He then went on to discuss his leisure activities and safe to assume, he won't be earning any literary awards anytime soon.

And while I am not much closer, at least I am trying.  Here's to first steps.

Here's to being nerdy.
