Jordan knows someone who gets really bothered by the idea that he might not be the most important person to anyone else. I've always thought it was a dangerous thing to worry so much about something like that, to put your sense of worth in someone else's hands (It doesn't mean that I don't do it; it just means that I think it's a bad idea). I thought, maybe we should settle for being one of the most important people to someone else.
This weekend, though, I had a sudden realization that I really am someone's Very Most Important Person (I'll give you one guess whose: he's pictured above--and he is mine too, but he doesn't like it when I make lovey-dovey overtures to him using public forums so I'm making this one all about me). I still think that everyone should try to see their own worth free from others' judgment and believe that they are worthy candidates for being someone else's most important person, but I also think it's a wonderful feeling to know that if you are in a crowded room and someone tells a really good joke, you will be the first person that a certain someone will look at to share the joke with every time.
