A couple quick reflections
The other night I was at a party where very drunk girls were standing on a table flashing everyone. I watched out of great curiosity and found that seeing these girls flash the crowd really ruined the magic for me. Its just... breasts. I don't know. I'm reminded of that scene in The Prestige where they talk about how a magic trick loses its charm if you know how the trick is done. I also felt a little bit sad for the people flashing everyone. Like, "These are someone's daughters. What would their parents think if they were here? Would they not care? How sad... Hmm." Stuff like that.
I guess it just made me reflect on what makes someone beautiful, and it is and isn't their body at the same time. Its like physical attractiveness becomes an extension of some kind of unseen inherent beauty... This probably doesn't make sense and I don't know how to say it. In short, this weekend made me realize that beautiful people are all around us and that beauty is a collective sum of far more than just physical appearance.
The other quick reflection is that this girl that was SUPER cute that would always make me blush was best friends with a girl I was really good friends with. We had a bunch of friends in common, and I'm pretty sure she was interested in me at the beginning of the season, but I clammed up and never talked to her. Today I just had the sudden reflection that we could have been great friends (or more) but I just never talked to her!
