Test.

Ever feel like life is testing you on something? Anything?
What a test this is... and what a test it shall be.

Heartbreak-- Banana Tree Style.

Idk about you, but I make some serious life desicions in the shower. I dont know what it is, but as soon as im standing in there for about 5 minutes, everything comes rushing in. It makes me want to get out and do everything-- get things done, change and improve on my flaws; I guess it's the feeling of getting clean and coming out fresh. Whoknows.

Sometimes my thoughts train off at the most random points. My best homie is about to leave and be off to the marines soon, and all he talks about is learning muay tai; a badass fighting style that marines learn to pretty much kill anything I guess lol. But one of the training procedures in muay tai is crazy; the trainee has to repeatedly kick a banana tree until he breaks his tibia [that frontal lower leg bone]. This is done in order for it to grow back even stronger and more reliable than before, able to endure things to come that it would have never stood a chance against before.

I feel like when hearts are broken, of course there's a period of pain-- but that person should rise up stronger than they were before, no matter what the extent of damage was done. They should both learn from their mistakes and benefit from the pain as another step towards something greater; maybe put up with something in the future, they couldn't before. I would never hesitate to say heartbreak is needed in any persons life; Sometimes you have to know pain to truly appreciate pleasure.

Lines and Circles.

All of life and its entirety can be broken down into lines and circles; the things we create, the choices we make, and the paths we take. To me, lines represent consistency in a person's life; that things are always moving forward, and forever will do so; Circles are similar in the fact that they are endless lines, but the only difference is that no progress is being made.

But circles are not always bad.

Sometimes we get stuck at a point in our lives where we don't know what to do, or how to advance, which would be a bad example. On the flipside, things could be at a comfortable setting and have no need to move forward anymore; so it'd be a circle of content.

This blog is about life and everything in it that I/people go through; all of my thoughts, ideas that I have to share as they pop into my mind; I couldn't do this with my other blog because I had designed it to be strictly a photo.blog. . .but of course I'll still have my photography on here somewhere.
