and I am done with my graceless heart

Right.

Okay.

We’re gonna try this again.

I’ve started a tumblr for like, poetry and pictures and suchlike, because why not. And since I already have the alert on my google calendar to update my queue once a week, I may as well parley that into some kind of regular update. Not for you all, mind; for me, because I kind of miss this, all the shouting

I don't think there's any point in justifying the things that make us happy, after all, they make us happy, and anyone who doesn't understand that, or can't figure out how it could make you happy usually isn't worth talking to. And I don't think it has anything to do with meaning, after all you can find deep meaning on the back of a milk carton if you can spin it out well enough. Figuring what is what seems to tell us more about ourselves then it whatever we're speaking of. If others can't understand that, usually they aren't worth talking to.

The worst thing someone can do though is try to use what someone else likes to judge their maturity level. That seems to me to be the root cause of all the problems I've had with "high-brow" appreciation. Just because someone likes something that is judged as "low-brow" doesn't mean that they are incapable of appreciating subtleties and nuances, or that they don't have more interests, but it seems to be some kind of flag that people use to judge others for no good reason.

Shorter version, yeah, people are stupid. At least it seems like you've figured out how to deal with it.
