“There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.” -Hermann Hesse

lately all of my brain activity seems to be leading to thoughts about who I am or who I want to be.

I had this conversation with a boy that was basically about how we see ouselves in contrast to how people see us.

he told me that when he first met me he was just overall confused by me and didn't know where to put that feeling that was both estranging and fascinating.

I was a little stunned with what he said as I was only out for drinks that night, not meaning to play the mysterious one at all and had put flowers into my hair just because that's what I do sometimes even if strangers give me the strange looks they tend to give.

my current situation with university beginning seems to be another demonstration of how you have to decide whether you'll just be yourself in all sparkling facets with the consequence of people judging or becoming a little invisible and cutting down on yourself.

with all of the impressions these past days filled me up with I decided that I'm sure I'd rather be a little excentric and confusing to some people than being pleasant to and understood by everyone, feeling like a shadow of myself.

it might sound like a cliché but if you think about it

this is the life I have.

I am the only me I have.

so please, I'll take it pure and undiluted.

love it.
