Our feelings have value and deserve to be heard... Doesn't mean it's them that is going to hear them.

Full Circle

I'm incredibly grateful for my existence. I feel like such a hippie about life right now. I know not everyone sees through "rose colored glasses" like I do, but even that indifference makes life more beautiful to me. "We" will always see by our own definition and our interpretations are strictly based off of our own perceptions. It can all be rough and tumble, but when it's lovely the rough and tumble falls from the limelight. This is exactly how I find my way back to myself. And you know what? Myself isn't that bad of a place.

a love affair

I want a great love affair.
Like Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire.
They cultivated their minds together.
I don't need a lifetime of romance, but a brief passionate love, even a summer's love is very attractive to me.
Lately I have felt overwhelmed by the knowledge surrounding me.
So many great books, so many great minds.
I thirst for knowledge and the companionship of a great thinker.
I have fallen in love with the idea of this and fallen out of anything indifferent from my being in love with this idea.
