Less than a milimeter of paint along the entire length of a wall did more to transform this place into my home than all the things we brought with us. It's the backgrounds that define the foreground. I have a habit of discounting my strengths and weaknesses in favor of seeing the bright shiny things I've learned and neat tricks I can now do, but those things aren't who I am to other people. It's hard to get far enough away from yourself to get perspective. Sometime in January I may disappear for a bit and be an introverted outdoorsy type until I get a handle on this thing. But I want to evolve again, because I'm bored. I think that's the secret to a lot of my life: why I used to rearrange my room every six months, why I try to rethink thiongs in terms of other things that make no sense, all of that. I'm bored, and I can't change the world fast enough to suit me, so I have to change myself to experience the world differently so that I can get my daily requirement of variety.

What's your secret?

Actually, I think you pretty much hit it on the head. Part of the reason I used to be so unhappy was because I was too busy trying to fit the world into my little box instead of just allowing myself to experience all of the truly wonderous things that come along each and every day. Since I've learned to do that, to see and appreciate the beauties I once tried to control, I've become a much happier person.

BTW, sorry I haven't called etc. Check my LJ for a very interesting account of my past week :).

my secret is to keep changing.
keep the things about me that I currently like, discard the rest.
trick is to not forget about it all in the humdrum
and instead put your ear (and heart) to the ground
and listen to the drum that beats only for you
and it says
change
change
change
life is change
change
