Considerations

It’s amazing how much can happen in just a few days… I feel infinitely happier with some of those close to me, and infinitely more confused by those in not too distant proximity. I’d like to think that I’m an easygoing kid: I don’t lose my temper and I’m always polite. But I’m not quiet; I have things to say. And that seems to affect everyone differently.

Take this website. Some people love it, some don’t. Well, it’s part of me. It’s just another one of those things like dance or guitar or photography, or as Ian reflected: darts and skydiving. These are all just forms of expression. Some people don’t seem to realize that no matter what medium we choose, we’re just portraying ourselves, hopefully as accurately as possible. And that’s why I do all these things, so that I can actualize who it is that I am. And I hope that you can respect that in me, and in others, too.

In the last few days I’ve seen a lot of different expressions. I really enjoy observing people and trying to understand why they do the things they do. Sometimes I agree with their actions, other times I really don’t. But I still want to know why… Maybe this is a little vague, but I can’t help that. Just stop before you judge somebody, and try to realize what it is that’s going on below the surface. What is it that caused them to be the way they are? There are both specific and mixed reasons for me being the person I am. Do you know how you got to be where you are? Think about that, and maybe you’ll strengthen your own ideas and take some others’ convictions for yourself.

I have a lot of thinking to do now, because people can be very confusing…
