Distracted distracted distracted girl

When I look at you
my thoughts turn from grey to black
I dont remember us
I dont recall why we were and how we are
so maybe I should stop looking at you


Maybe, just maybe, I should stop looking at anything.


Perception is so volatile. It creates meaning in things that dont deserve meaning. It distracts meaning from things that deserve reflection. It hides our own desires, it fuels our passions, it divides and conquers, it tears down boundaries, it creates a life that may not be real.
Perception is beautiful.

It's amazing to think that we live one life on this earth, in this body, with this mind; which hosts a unique set of vaules, desires, inclinations, innate senses, talents, determinations, factors of existence, family, friends, associations. How many people live life so selfeshlessly, yet deny themselves so swiftly? I think society forgets at times what life is... life is not tangible, fabricated entities, life is not status and superfulous wealth, life is NOT living for hierarchy or living to ease one's way into society and never make an impact. Life is about being humbled and viewing other cultures and ways of life, life is about contemplating your friendship and why they mean so much, life is about helping others attain some sort of security if they dont have the privledges you are born with. Life is about creating meaning in things that will make meaning, and extend that meaning beyond one's sphere of existence. Life is about meeting individuals who will send chills down your spine with inspiration, love, friendship, humility, even anger. Life is about building an empire within one's own mind, and filling it full of knowledge, wisdom, experience, and physical being.

I only write these words because I have not achieved this status of being yet. But in the same vein, I am aware of my status as a human, alive and aware, and what this entails of me.

Ignorance is not bliss... ignorance is stagnation; a slow, drawn out mental and emotional demise that forgets what it means to just be.

Mind over matter.
