stay the same, change and grow, just don't place blame, just don't show what you're really feeling

I've been thinking deeply today..and in that process I realized how long it has been since I've seriously put much thought into anything, and how different I have been lately. How close I was to slipping into a way of thinking that is almost not thinking, or rather acting without thought. I see it everywhere around me and realize how much different I am. So few others seem to place the same value on actions that I do.

There are two examples of people in relationships I can use to try to explain this: those who put little to no value on their actions and just mess around without really caring at all, with no meaning, and those with misplaced emotions (these are the type that immediately claim they are in love when they don't even know what it is and destroy the meaning of the word). The former would obviously be the way of thinking I almost slipped into, seeing as I've only ever told one person that I loved her, aside from friends.. however, this doesn't just apply to relationships, mind you, it's a lifestyle..I don't know how else to describe this right now though.

How did I almost fall into that way of thinking anyway? When did I tie my morals to my ankles and let them drag along behind me? It doesn't matter; I'll follow the ruts they've left back to the intersection and go down the right path this time, the one less travelled, if it's not too late. It's not.

This may be the first time that a girl actually cares about me as much as I care about her.

Also, I adore that "Pepsi loves hot dogs" commercial.
