Is it tragic or beneficial to see only the things we want to see? I am learning lately that we begin to become as similar as our surroundings, and in my case, I go months without noticing that I have strayed away from who I want to be. Our choices in who and what we surround ourselves with have such an affect on our values and outlook. I feel enriched when I surround myself with art, nature, music, and creative and genuinely kind people. I feel like I have not exactly kept up with these environments, and remained in unhealthy surroundings, slowly digging up to the surface of contentment. Hmm...there is a balance though. I do think that there are some things we don't want to see or experience that we should, just to gain a broader perspective. I don't know. I just want to be in a place where I'm like a tall weeping willow, firmly grounded and strong but freely moving with the wind, uninhibited. ding.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
