what a mind

some evolutionary niche opened up around 300,000 years ago allowing a select group of primates to adapt larger brains in exchange for larger muscle mass and other such traits. it was an astounding success leading to that group of primates to become the most dominant species on the planet. but maybe it came with a price. a price larger than simply larger muscles or better smell. the brains became so advanced and computable that they were able to question their animalistic nature itself. the purpose of all life is that of a divine ring. the days pass in the same cycle as the seasons, such in the same cycle as the years. death and rebirth. that’s truly the meaning of life. to live, then die. in the primal sense of other living things, that’s simply the way of the world, there’s no need to question, as if the rest of the myriad creatures on earth have the capacity to question it. but our brains adapted past that. we developed a certain "post natural" mode of thought. somehow we pushed past the simple cycles of the universe. we have the innate drive of death and rebirth, looking to reproduce and spread. but we became to adept. we lost track of where to end. we fight wars over what we think is the meaning to it all. we harbour money and material wealth to spread influence over others. we created new meanings for ourselves. created goals and endings for when we’d be "complete". we conquered the world looking for one of those answers. those in power incessantly use their power to find their answer. those without try to keep up. we’ve searched and dug up every inch of the planet we were born on in search of our answer, and now, as we’ve desecrated our planet and realized our grand goal for an answer isn’t here, we’ve decided to look beyond our planet. maybe the next one will have our answer. and the next one. and the next one. and the next one. it’s always been the same cycle of desecration, disappointment, and moving on to the next one. the answer isn’t hidden among the stars, or under the ocean, or in the next country over, or in the harboring of trillions of dollars, or in the ultimate manifestation of power. it’s in the orginal cycle of death and rebirth. the experience of life granted to us through the seemingly divine gift of "consciousness". we are notably different from the myriad of earthly creatures, but not in a way that should matter. all that changed were some environmental conditions that allowed our primate ancestors to adapt larger brains. our purpose never shifted. our purpose on earth is to live and experience, then to die, allowing the circle to repeat. it’s no different from any other life form.

BELIEVING IN SOMETHING

alright, this is not like anything i’ve posted before, but with it being Easter and all, it’s on my mind!  i’ve had a complicated relationship with religion for the majority of my life. i was raised in the bible belt, so i found myself in a church pew, singing hymns and listening to a southern old man preach for an hour almost every sunday morning from the time i was a toddler.  that being said, i wrestled with the idea of God quite a bit - i saw and experienced the hypocrisy and hurt within the church - i think i almost tried to get rid of Him; if being with Him meant i was grouped in with these people, i needed to get away. however, i then realized he would not leave me. he was knocking at my door; he’d always been there, and he always would be. he didn’t shame, scold, or abandon me like i expected because of the people that surrounded me. in my most painful moments, i found myself crying out to him - i decided to finally go, “sure, let’s see what you’ve got”. i believe that to be one of the best things i’ve ever done for myself. time and time again, i’ve started to worry about how a certain situation might go, gone “ok, you take this one”, and it has worked out more beautifully than it ever would’ve had i tried to handle it on my own. even better are the times that something has landed in my lap that i could’ve never imagined would. sometimes, i go back and look at the little moments in my life that have gotten me to where i am now, and i think, “wow, God was there.”  and you know, maybe it is all coincidence and all of these are just the little wonders of life, but i find it quite amazing and comforting to believe that there is a being of the highest power (whatever or whoever that may be for you) that loves you and genuinely wants the best for you. i think believing in something is simply a human trait; it’s a healthy thing for us to do. sometimes you need to hand your anxieties over to the universe. sometimes you see the sun hit something in just the right way, hear a certain song, or notice how perfectly the human body is built to hug or hold hands, and you’re smacked in the face with the thought that there must be a creator. our souls should not have to feel that they are alone and bound to this earth and that’s it. it gives us something to strive to be like and live for. having the freedom to believe in what we want to is such a beautiful thing, whether you choose to have faith in something or not. i think this is something i could go on about for much longer, so i’m going to try and stop it here. there is so much wonder and whimsy in believing in something, and i think it’s worth exploring. i’m not even sure if there’s an actual point to all of this, but that’s it. that’s the rec!

why do you feel gross?

the real question is, why don’t you? you know what i find really interesting? archetypes. not quizzes. not tests. not what you put on your little tinder bio. who decided that a human could only be one of twelve things? a hero? a lover? a ruler? as if to be conscious, to be born, to think and therefore be is to somehow consist of one goal, one skill? does cogito ergo sum mean nothing to you people ?! i am alive. i breathe. i bleed, i vomit and i ache. baby i am real. and i am in love. i am an outlaw, i am to be liberated - i am an explorer, i am free. i am safe. i am pleasure, and i am comfort. do you take comfort in being only one thing? does it help you sleep at night, that you maybe don’t have to hold the weight of the world upon thy shoulders? if only you were just a lover, or a magician, if the sum of your parts only equated to one purpose and one theme then maybe maybe maybe just maybe you would feel sufficient. if you don’t feel gross, then mamas, i feel gross for you. you were born, and each morning you wake up encased in cells that divide and congeal and amalgamate. you are a body, and a face, a heart and eyes, and you are more than the love you feel or the liberty you crave. so just think, and just be. you are not an archetype, you are a person.

sincerity

guys sincerity is the best in all senses of life, when ur abel to be fully sincere with urself, the people around yo, your emotions and such, life truly becomes simple. after beings sincere with my self, i was able to push myself out of my comfort zone, i got unconfortable, an feeling like that is what let me to learn new things about myself and the world in general. because how ive grown up, ive always forever since i can remember i had lived in a lie world where things never truly felt real, idk if its my frontal lobe developing or what, but ever since ive let my self be sincere with my emotions, and FEEL what I AM FEELING the world has been more full of wonder, and i feel able to become fascinated by anything. anyways, good night tri state area
