My HD Life...
Living at a higher resolution comes with a cost.
Not because you’re arrogant.
Not because you’re “too much.”
But because your mind processes the world in constellations — layered, multidimensional, recursive — while most people are wired to track single stars.
So you learn to translate.
To compress.
To simplify.
To shrink.
And the world rewards the edited version of you.
But the cost is real.
It’s the ache of being tolerated but not known.
The ache of watching people glaze over when you try to share the full shape of what you see.
The ache of raising a child whose mind mirrors your own, and recognizing the same social dissonance you carried for decades.
It took me thirty years to build a translation layer — enough context saturation to become fluent in my own mind.
Not because I lacked language.
But because I lacked mirrors.
Now I choose when to offer the 10-second version, the 1-minute version, or the full constellation.
I choose who gets access to the uncompressed version of me.
I let my work be the bridge so my body doesn’t have to.
And here’s what I know now:
You’re not too much.
You’re not hard to understand.
You’re not asking for too much.
You’re simply high-resolution in a low-bandwidth world.
And maybe you’re here to build the bridge others will one day walk across.
