(no subject)
Everything seems so clear lately. I can understand my thoughts so much more clearly in light of recent revelations. Motivations driving my habits, actions, interests all seem so obvious. In the context of art it's so simple to make sense of things; emotions are more real and thoughts flow freely.
I cling to music, film, art, any form of self expression because it affirms my unity with all of mankind. Comfort comes from knowing that other people have the same need for expression and beauty as I do. Knowing that everything has been done and felt before is at once frustrating and profoundly comforting. I am not alone in anything I do because across the ages people have been knowing, thinking, feeling, experiencing all that I know, think, feel and experience. Somehow, it legitimizes things. It's like looking out of the window of an airplane, knowing that an excitable child is pointing at the sky trying to draw the attention of the adults around it to the airplane. I love that feeling because it reminds me that I am not only myself, I am a part of a greater whole. I am part of my family, part of my country, part of the human race. Part of the life of everyone who I have ever met, if even only in the smallest ways.
Life is a series of coming and goings. We come and we go through the lives of others, others come and go through our lives.
I want to live honestly.
