riiiiite so i forgot that i have this journal- oooh well. anyhow, today i went downtown with willow to see the sites- not too interesting to tell ya the truth. we saw all the amazing buildings and busy streets. we saw all those expensive restaraunts and hotels with unfortunate homeless people seated in front of them making the scene extremely depressing. i didnt really think too much about any of this after we got in the car to drive around listenin to music until willow said somethin that really really made me think- i cant remember her exact words- and the exactness of it all isnt what is important. she said that people of conjured up this screwed up version of what it means to love and be loved- that everyone tries so hard to be the most loving and most wonderful person on earth that they forget about seemingly average people that surround them everyday. i know this sounds obvious because we all have done exactly that....but it made me realize how truly important it is for us all to just fuckn love people. who cares about the look or past of a person or even their character at present. we all just have to forget about our biases and judgements and really look and search to love people with our whole heart. if you see someone less fortunate than you do something about it dont just walk by and stare...feeling sad about their situation. if you truly feel sad than you need to do something. dont go through life doing things because you have to or because you feel that you'll be looked down upon otherwise. What possesses us to be cruel and to hurt others- how does this even make people happy? Why is our world falling apart and why aren't people taking a stand? Why can't we all forget about pathetic and useless ideas and objects and just begin to embrace those around us? I guess I'll never understand. LOVE my freyands because that is truly all you need.
