I woke up this morning, reflecting on events from the previous night, and I was going to write a simple, one line post which simply queried:
Is my whole life doomed to consist of nothing but empty words and unkept, unintended, uninvited, and unmeaningful promises?
But then I read some comments from my previous blog, I texted a few of my friends and I took a good long look around the room (which was strewn with the violet casualties of last night's decorations, and two unconscious purple clad boys) and I realized how effing lucky I am to be so loved. I am loved by so many wonderful, amazing people, and I love them more than I could ever express in any saliable way. So I am blessed, and my life is not as fatalistic as I sometimes perceive in my mental dwellings. I have the most amazing chosen-family that anyone could ever ask for, and we have unfathomable amounts of fun merely being in each others presence. Outside of that family I have so many other amazing people surrounding me and caring about me, who constitute a whole other part of my life and extension of my happiness, who i love and charish just as much. So I sat there and thought to myself, "there is no way you can complain about your life right now. Look at how fortunate you are." So I'm not complaining. Not today. Not when I really have so very little to be down about. Today I love my life.
I must also record some thoughts brought about by certain happeneings last night. I certainly am of the opinion that life is complicated, and there are a vast array of grey areas that can't be translated into either extreme of the grey-scale. I believe this to be true in many situations, and many ways of interpretation. But not all. I feel like, sometimes, some things are black and white. Some things are simple, and life doesn't HAVE to be this complex maze of confusion and analyzation. Some feelings, some people, and the situations pertaining to the previous two, are wither black, or they're white. Yes or no. Cut and dry, simple. And sometimes I get sick of the grey areas fogging things over. Sometimes I wish everyone would just chill out, lay back, and say yes, or say no. Without complication, without revision, just: this is how I feel, and this is what I want, or don't want or don't feel. I won't give examples or specifications here. This is just something I have been reflecting on today.
I listened to this song no less than 4589 times today. It is unreal. Please enjoy.
I hate when I try multiple times to post comments. It really gets me.
