I am But a Patina

I used to think my love of random knowledge acquisition was a useless endeavour that had neither value nor benefit. 

I have believed that the basic insight I hold into the myriad things I know is of no consequence in who I am, who I become, and what legacy I build. 

But here I am learning, a student of the universe, if you will.

A jack of all trades and a master of none, as they say, but often times, better than a master of one, hence the continuous amassing of random data.

And a master of none, that I truly am.

But somewhere along the way, I've found places they fit. 

Places that gave me a sense of accomplishment, a sense of belonging, places that held the fragments of my existence as though they were miracles.

I am still learning, and even though the span of my interests is as fragmented as a toddler's, 

I am blossoming. 

I am but a patina, an accumulation of layered yet temporary heavens.

So dear Me, shall we then bloom wherever the universe plants us next?
