the nice thing about not having class til 14h tomorrow is that i am able to stay up late tonight looking through all my photos from what seems like ages ago. a nice opportunity to get excited about my family coming to visit next week, and to remind myself of all the great things i've been able to see, relationships i've been able to hold on to, and delicious meals i've been lucky to eat! i'm starting to be keenly appreciative about one fact of life - no matter how absent i may be in an instant, my existence is still contained in each and every thing that i've seen and done. when i am me in this instant, i am also the same me as i was yesterday, a year ago, ten years ago, and even the not yet existing me which will present itself when the moment arrives. if you took a look at me in this very moment, my interests are constantly modifying themselves, my latent impressions everchanging, my outlook looking out for things anew. despite it's a single image with no backbone, no support, no structure. but when you add everything up, i am me, a seemingly weak structure until you reason its self-supporting system. every person is only as strong as their memory that lets them project their being into an environment that has no choice but to accept their force.
