Hmmm.
Things are going well, for the most part.
I still find myself holding a big, fat spoon and stirring my emotional soup from time to time, but ultimately, things are good.
I've really started to understand people as of late. I've begun to understand just how much, in our culture at least, people have gotten so used to bullshit that they love it. They bathe in it, they walk through it and they eat it for dinner.
No, no, this is not a rant or anything. By "bullshit" I just mean, "denial" and "putting up a front". Almost everyone I know sees and interacts with the world through a film of bullshit. People try to ignore things that they've done wrong, or they constantly attempt to uphold a presented image of themselves, rather than just being honest. There is so little honesty in the world that I know.
It's kind of refreshing, though. Because there is so little raw honesty, when I do catch a glimmer of it, it really makes me feel great. Even if it's angry or hurtful, at least it's honest.
Why is honesty so sought after? I'm not sure. Maybe knowing that what someone thinks, feels, does and says are all in harmony gives us one less thing to worry about.
Or maybe it's just me. Who knows. Anyhow... I'm going to go ahead and continue to grow up now. Anyone else wanna join me?
