lessons in life can be surprising

funny how things can become so blatantly obvious, and it's really something you knew all along. it just wasn't relevant at the time, so you store it in the back of your brain to resurface later. the mind works in amazing ways. it's been said many times before, but the magnitude of that statement is really dawning on me.

we have life-changing epiphanies all the time. we realize something about our past, then file it back in the unorganized system that is our brain, then have the same epiphany a year later, just to repeat the cycle over and over again. what can truly save us from this repetition? i guess for me, i will try to write it down. and to read what i've written. it does no good to forget history, whether of someone else, or ourselves.

recently it's been a cyclical thing for me, and the stupid slogans and sayings have held new meanings for me. "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", ok, so simple, but honestly, it's quite true. for every aspect of attraction, not just physical. music, art, a nice pair of legs, or someone's eyes. what holds true for me, might not to you. it's all our personal interpretation of those certain waves, or particles, or what-have-yous.

another thing that's become unfortunately-cyclical for me is creativity. i get inspired, whether by a person, place or other noun, and become a well of creativity and function, and then i come-down from said high, and bum out for like a week. a couple months ago i went through my closet to see what shirts i hadn't worn in a while, and i tried to figure out why, so i set them aside to make stencils for them. i figured it would make me wear them with more visual interest, and they're still separated, not stenciled, and collecting dust.
