One thing that kind of bothers me with my thinking is that (I think that) I think in very abstract, kind of lofty ideas. Like, big concepts, big-picture type stuff that seems hard to apply to my life. Well, I can apply it, because I think like that, but when I try to imagine my writing from a 3rd person perspective, sometimes it seems pretty lofty. Pretty far out there.
I was having a conversation with a friend last night, and as we were leaving the restaurant, agreed that we should continue to learn how to appreciate the little things in life. All the things that seem mundane or routine even, should be appreciated... the fact that we are living in this time and space should be acknowledged. And be given thanks for.
Maybe part of me is afraid of thinking/writing of things that are more personal/close to my heart... but maybe I just have a really abstract way of thinking. Or maybe a little bit of both. I guess my only real qualm is, that it can be hard to really apply those random thoughts to myself, let alone describe them and relay them to other people. Maybe I'm just weird.
Well, how we apply larger/more abstract ideas is really what makes them important right? If ideas just remain as ideas then they seem kind of useless... a lot of times we're left with the question, "so now what?"

It's okay; I'm just as weird! :D
I find myself feeling much of the same way, as you can probably imagine. But as far as "so what" goes, I've realized that I just need to repeat this mantra to myself: be good to others, be good to self, be good to the earth. I can only try to do these thing as best as I know how.
We should get together soon! ( :
