Isn't it absolutely amazing how when you're in the silence you can absolutely forget everything going on around you and just think about your life. I had forgotten this week how to sit and have some time to myself to just sort out everything that's going on. No matter what or who I'm with being able to sit somewhere, anywhere, even in my car at 11:30 while I'm driving somewhere and turn off the noise that is life and just be able to think makes all the difference. I don't think people take enough time to really get to know themselves, which is crazy to think of considering if there's anyone you're around the most it's most likely yourself. There's this awesome Jack Johnson song:

Oh but everybody thinks
That everybody knows
About everybody else
Nobody knows
Anything about themselves
Cause their all worried about everybody else

Completely true. Like I almost don't know what to say about it. There are so many times that I look at others to judge and just examine their lives and the things they do, but almost never do that to myself. Isn't that insane? Maybe I'm the only one, in which case I've got TONS of stuff to work on, but I have a feeling that I'm not the only one, well at least Jack Johnson has the same issues. I don't really know what the point of this thing is, I guess it's more of me figuring out that there are always reasons and motives behind everything that I do, whether I realize it or not. How crazy is it that all our actions are controlled by some experience or unrational thought. Most important through all this babbling and just plain chatter is to just stop and spend that time to completely think things through, write it down, do some painting, just be sure you know exactly who you are and the things that you stand for.
