So yeah i can understand t his. I mean I'm still starting relationships with anyone knowing I'll just be gone next year. So knowing it'll all end I still try to connect because it'd be better than being lonely for a time if i can at all help it. I’m a senior in High School. So yeah i can understand t his.

(this is the, fourth time I'm reading the trilogy (still learning)) because it blows away you see. That is why wisdom is wisdom: because you must search for wisdom, journey for it, you learn things along the journey, the journey in search for wisdom. So the wisdom you find in the end is an illusion; it is the "wisdom" you figure out during the journey./ Wait, that's it! (Capital asterisk)***, that's my thesis!! THAT'S MY 8888888 THESIS!!! SWEET ************* ********* RELATIVISTIC ************* ************!!!!! sigh* And now, I must work. now leave, disperse, keep it secret

All around me things are ever-changing so if i set my mind or my heart on something, I would be wasting my time if I’d settle for stuff that will just blow away. <i>Well, if I inadvertently need to be somewhere, with something or with someone who will just blow away, I will make it a point to be as detached as I can possibly be.</i> However if there will be a need to discover the place/thing/person deeper and there’s a tendency I’ll be drawn to the enigma it may become (<i>and I know that it will just vanish into thin air later</i>), then I’ll intentionally <i>blow myself </i>away. No need to wait for it to disappear before I do. I know it’s not better that way (<i>Heck, it’s not better either way</i>), but then again, why would I allow myself to be attached to something I will just lose? No, not because it would blow away.

The world doesn’t need my help in coming up with temporary things. All around me things are ever-changing so if i set my mind or my heart on something, I would be wasting my time if I’d settle for stuff that will just blow away. Well, if I inadvertently need to be somewhere, with something or with someone who will just blow away, I will make it a point to be as detached as I can possibly be.

However if there will be a need to discover the place/thing/person deeper and there’s a tendency I’ll be drawn to the enigma it may become (and I know that it will just vanish into thin air later), then I’ll intentionally blow myself away. No need to wait for it to disappear before I do.

Today it hit me how empty it's made my life. It's worse this way, I think. I think sometimes, even if it might be risky or painful, it is easier to invest in the long-term.

I have a strange knack for starting up lengthy conversations with complete strangers when I'm visiting somewhere new. Guess I'm approachable ... or something. Sometimes we exchange contact info for possible future use, but more often than not it's simply nice to experience that moment of connection and to let it simple exist as what it is and pass.
