the journey can be worth more than the destination
but maybe seeing what it’s worth first isn’t worth it if you’re already patient
I’m already where I’ve been, and I will be where I’m going
so will what is on that path effect me if I did or didn’t know it?
phone numbers are more memorable when you group them into bigger parts
5 numbers, then 3, then 3,
or 4, then 4, then 3, which to me is just bizarre
you could say that the phone number itself is already the bigger part
it’s only the perspective that sets the two apart
some say the only things we feel and from which all emotion is derived from is:
Love
and
Fear
also told as fight or flight
and I wonder if there’s anyone who’s seen them both for what they are, and lives the two together
what would that be like?
Others say the only things we really feel are serotonin and dopamine
and plenty of people love those together
maybe that’s why when people do go crazy they say:
“he doesn’t know if he’s coming or going”
when I first wore a pair of glasses at age 11
I realised that I had been missing out on all of the intricacies
of any object further than 20 feet away
it still feels like cheating being able to see things from beyond a certain point
when everything is unfocused, little things are left out
so if I really want to know, I have to get closer to see
and then when I leave it will return to it’s elaborate ways
the sum of its parts
not really changing, just identified by a different name
