Some things I've learned in the last year of being single and living in Chicago.
Art in any form is what sustains my life.
It isn't who you know that makes you who you are.
Getting your heart broken, does not mean you won't survive.
All goals are attainable.
Friends are family you choose.
Never follow your fears, they will lead you astray.
Never follow your love, he will lead you astray.
Erica's Venn Diagram, was on target. You are the center of your world. Never orbit around another.
Being a Mac snob is ok.
Nothing is permanent.
Permeance is a illusion.
Everyone has their own reality.
People really hate that I hate The Flaming Lips.
What I need, is inside of me. I can't gain that from others.
Life is amazing. It really is.
All we have is what's occurring right now.
Fall in love with yourself.
Never leave your purse on your car seat.
Focus on where you put your keys.
I'm pretty f'ing good at research.
The past does not make me who I am right now.
I no longer want to be an architect.
Mice like to eat dog food.
Now, I'm not one to really believe in ghosts, but this was a little creepy. Especially when I asked the aforementioned "ghost" to go in the corner, so I could take a photo of it. What do ya know? Who showed up? A small little orb, hanging out in the corner. Huh.
This also sparked a little conversation between Mori and I; the one thing we actually agree on. There is no such thing as ghosts, just pockets of energy. After some light reading on quantum physics and watching a documentary on a leading scientific parapsychologist, I've come away with the understanding that if an energy is strong enough, it can linger around. I'm not really talking about the energy of dead people and this idea that they can interact with us, more like the energy of memories. If intense enough, those memories sort of linger around, like quantum waste.
