Sometimes I feel like I am very superficial.
I was in the bathroom a minute ago washing my face. I looked in the mirror and thought "god, i hate my nose", and for a second it was almost like I was looking at myself from the outside.
Sometimes that happens, if you stop and look hard into the mirror you realize you don't really ever look at yourself. Sometimes it scares me, seeing myself in an outside way.
Anyway, I was hating my nose, and at the same time I was thinking that I was superficial, when another thought occurred. What isn’t superficial?
I don't know my purpose for being on this earth, and I don't think anybody else does either. So if nobody has a real purpose and destination, what we do has no affect on anything that isn't temporary, right?
We don't live forever, so the things we're doing now.. they're not really all that important. And so now it seems that everyone is superficial, and everything we see, think, read, watch, eat, smell and touch is so temporary that it doesn’t mean anything at all.
But it does. We only live once. Life is short, and can only be sweet if that's what you make it.
But also! we're all going to die. It's a terrible thing, I never want to die. But we all will, and what will we remember from this life? Nothing.
I guess life is like hair dye. We have the ability to choose how vibrant it will be and how much we are willing pay to make it last. But no matter how much you pay, it can’t last forever.
well, I guess i better try to sleep.
