Life Is Funny

Tonight I got to hang out one on one with an amazing person. It basically consisted of me breaking what could have been some bad news to a friend, and being there for her as much as possible - even just to talk about whatever the hell. We went out to a bar, shared a pitcher of a very tasty IPA, and connected. One of the main things we talked about was how very strange and funny life can be.

Life is constantly changing. Sometimes it feels like I could never possibly keep up with my world as it moves forward and I am left behind, jogging to keep up. Other times, though, it feels like I am incredibly advanced in what I do and what I feel, or think. A very important part of life, I have found, is to never let it get you down. Nothing is forever, or permanent, so we should never allow it to feel as such. Just because I feel a little cranky or lonely on one evening does not mean I will feel this way forever.

Many, many, times, I have found myself convinced that I am alone in the way I feel, or the things that happen to me. This is completely wrong, though. Chemistry with a person is a very good example of this. Just because the person I'm seeing wants to suck on my toes, it does not in any way mean I will find this attractive. When someone I am with, though, kisses me just the way I like, it is an experience of its own to say the least. When two people connect, it goes far beyond a simple connection. It is reassurance, and it is happiness, and it is wonderful. Finding another person that has experienced similar things in their lifetime and has emerged from these challenges in a way that I myself have has truly helped me understand many things about myself. This is friendship, and it can be so helpful during times of weirdness or uncertainty. I apologize, everyone, for my intense vagueness, but I really have no idea how to explain this.

Life is funny, strange, sexy, depressing, uplifting, and even beautiful, all at the same damn time. Take what you can get from life, and life will offer you everything you've ever wanted in return - but only when you let it.


That is all, time to pass the hell out and do it all again tomorrow.
