I was listening to an old Bob Dylan song, Blowin in the wing, and it seemed to inspire me. I've been hit pretty hard by a lot of disappointments this year and i've faced a lot of challenges and i've let myself down in a couple things. So i was listening to Dylan and reading when this song came up. I listened to the song twice and remebered hearing them talk about it on NPR. Dylan wrote it in 63' its basically a war protest song about peace and it asks a lot of the unanswerable questions that our society still faces [and always will for that matter]
I've been through a couple rough patches out here in the DMV and i keep a lot of my stuff to myself [cause im basically a pretty private person] but when i start to feel dejected something always comes around to helps me. I've realized that there is always room for improvement and that some things happy for you to learn and grow. Its hard to accept cetain things being the way they are.
I remind myself that no matter how bleek things may be they can always be worse.
[ however piteous THAT may sound...well, shoot it helps me sleep at night]
Voltaire taught me that blind optimism is foolish and my life has taught me that realism is the only true science. Real talk is that Im, breathing, im young, smart,talented, [handsome ; )] and i have people who love me, no matter what. Things may be bad, and relatively speaking they may seem to be the worst ever, but i know despite all that; I have a lot going for me and so do you which ever loyal friend and blog reader you may be. Be encouraged, because beyond all the supernatural and pomp and circumstance that we mix up in our rationale, things could be MUCH worse than whatever you are dealing with. The answer really is blowing in the wind. Go outside and take it all in, this is life... aint no body said it'd be easy
peace&love
