11:15 is profound thinking time

Oct 01, 2004 23:07

I promised myself I wouldn't write about my problems. Everyone else has theirs and they don't need to read mine.

Oxford changed my life. I'm more mature. I'm more confident. I actually like who I am.
There are few people who can say that they are happy with the person they are. I am.

THOUGHTS ON:

Love- I'm finding it harder and harder to believe that it exists. Everything's just chemical and hormones. So why does every freaking person on the planet keep trying to find it? Maybe it's just a random reaction (chaos theory, anyone?) that can happen with any number of people with a certain genetic makeup. Maybe that's why so many of us end up liking our ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends again. The chemical makeup makes you have an attachment. And to think that I used to be so romantic.

Life- We watched this really unique movie in religion class called Shadowlands, which was about C.S. Lewis. The only thing I thought was brilliant about that movie was what his wife said near the end of her life. "The pain then is part of the happiness now." Doesn't make the pain now any better.

Friends- If you don't think I appreciate you, I do. You mean the world to me. Your family is what you're given by genetics. Your friends are the family you get to pick. If you're here, chances are you're a friend. Thank you, for being here and for putting up with me in my immature stages, when I'm a brat, when I'm whining, and when I'm hyper. I owe you one.

Music- If it weren't for this aspect of my life, I'd be in a mental institution right now. It's the only thing that keeps me sane when I don't have my friends to turn to. Thank you to the gods of rock, classical, opera, punk, and anything else I happen to enjoy.

I'm done being profound, if that was profound.
