”And all that burgeoning physicality is held within yourself as a sort of secret, even as it is also the actual surface that you present to the world, so that you’re left absurdly exposed, unsure whether the world knows everything about you or nothing, because you have no way of knowing whether these experiences that you’re having are universal or entirely specific.”
-David Szalay, Flesh
Each individual has a secret that they know only themselves.
Secrets are secret, and perhaps the person has a friend who reveals them, making the secret no longer a secret when one or two people know about it.
We can’t know someone else’s life if they are not willing to speak about it, and forcing people doesn’t help.
Our alternative is to become the person who is generous enough and speaks about what others may relate to in their own lives.
There are a billion people in the whole world, and if there are a thousand people who truly believe in our work, then that’s a home run.
Kevin Kelly and Seth Godin call it 1000 true fans.
1000 true fans is like they can wait in line because they are eager to tell it to others because of the upcoming music, film, or art of ours.
