something about this just makes me feel old.
this is going to seem like simple adolescent philosophy-- the loosest definition of each of those words.
so, maybe it's not worth overthinking any of this. people go, and it's best to let them. you can't change any of it, and any effort you make to get someone to stay or make someone go more quickly is undue meddling in the infinite now of moments you can enjoy while they are there. i forget that too often, seeking for a sort of personal sustainability that should not need to exist for happiness to flourish. happiness does not need weeks of sunshine and a constantly soaked root to finally have a chance to peek out, just when it seems safe; i should finally expand my understanding of completed past events as worthwhile, even though they are no longer here, to enjoying the fleeting, the eternity contained in the now. now, in the deep and down, says old jimmy eat world that was such a comfort in high school. think about that for a second. clarity, like the name of the album. today has depth.
maren knocks off in a few words of action so much of my past thinking: life is too short, people go away, and the last thing we want to do is cry.... so that is why we are celebrating and having a kick ass time!! for a moment it seems like ignoring a problem; the next, living.

about
-
me: aspiring writer, 'music nerd,' seeker of beautiful moments, college student, armchair theologian, nominal quaker, 'the diet coke of emo with no caffeine,' eclectic left-winger, and generally someone who thinks about things too much.
this: unedited, uninhibited, and uninteresting thoughts, nebulous stream-of-consciousness ramblings of memory, inside jokes, obscure references, emotional paroxysms, and slices of life. sometimes there are pictures.
what people are saying about me

'...a nice boy.'
- laura
'...a maoist!'
- greg
'...elevate[s] emotional self-destructiveness to an art form.'
- greg
'...my favorite pixie.'
- lizzie
'...a damn good conversationalist.'
- kelly
'...blue-raspberry [pie]! or or maybe cranberry raisin.'
- becky
'i feel like a wide eyed kid in the socialist candy store...and [he's] the clerk.'

'...far too sensible and perceptive to be straight.'
