Today was, yeah. Aside from a day late, this post is one of my signature posts; full of rambling, doesn't quite have a point, and asks far too many rhetorical questions. I haven't yet posted one of these signatures, but if you've ever followed my Livejournal, or talked to me in person, you'll understand what I mean by signature posts. Post nap- Sunday, January 30th. Buckle up.
Have you ever just wondered why? Why you do the things you do? What makes you think the way you think? What sets you apart from your peers, friends, enemies? How do you carry the same baggage you've been carrying, while you continue to add more in your travels? What do you do when you realize that you can't carry anything else? How do you shake your carry-ons off? What is that one, central thing in your life that keeps you on your track? Is it possible for us to have more than one? What if that thing is something that isn't exactly the most realistic or possible thing? Why is it a crime to be idealistic? Wasn't Marie Curie idealistic? Well, wasn't Curie idealistic at one point in time or another? How can it be a crime to be as full of imagination as possible, but not a crime to be bland and realistic? Can we fault those for trying to fly, despite evolution, or even in celebration of Darwin? What can be said about your life, right now, at this very second? Can you say that you have discarded, recycled rather, the waste of your mind and divulged your life into something "worthwhile"? Why are you afraid to try? How do you know you will fail? How do you know you will not? Can you look through the looking glass? Follow down the rabbit hole? Drink me? Eat me? Paint the roses red? Do you know that every little thing is gonna be alright? I think you're going to be just fine.
