Humble pie

I am not a particularly cocky individual by nature, but when push comes to shove, I am 100% aware that I'm pretty awesome. I've been to interesting places, met interesting people, and done interesting things--and sometimes I've even blogged about them. There are some things I do pretty well, some things I'm comically bad at--some of which I do anyway. I feel like most people are this way.
And then there are times when you just need to take a deep breath, a step back, and a slice of humble pie and say "Wow. I am honored to know you. You are something special."
There are a lot of very talented people in the world, and it's days like today that make me realize how fortunate I am to know so many of them.
Today, I sat in an off-Broadway theater space in Manhattan, watching a girl I've known for 9 years win the hearts of a sold-out crowd in a musical production written by a friend of the guy sitting next to me (himself, also a talented actor and friend of mine)
It's a small, beautiful world.
