WHAT IF, ONE DAY, YOU WOKE UP &
forgot your life? Forgot your past, your friends,
your family, your hopes, your loves, your dreams,
your favourite songs, where you got your scars -
what if you woke up one day, and forgot who you are?

Would you still be you?

A couple months ago, I posted a piece of writing on my Facebook page which is essentially my basic philosophy on life. It's really long but I consider it worth reading. Is anyone interested in me posting it here?
They say the only way they'll remember you is if you write down who you are.

 

Kindess in words
creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking
creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving
creates love.

Lao Tzu

"it's weird to me how no one can ever feel something or see something the same way you do, we really are all alone in our mind, my happy isn't your happy and my sad isn't your sad and that tree doesn't look the same to you as it does to me. technically, no one can ever truly understand how you feel or your perception of something."
- bejal
“Don't let yourself be victimized by the age you live in. It's not the times that will bring us down, any more than it's society. When you put the blame on society, then you end up turning to society for the solution. There's a tendency today to absolve individuals of moral responsiblity and treat them as victims of social circumstance. You buy that, you pay with your soul. It's not men who limit women. It's not straights who limit gays. It's not whites who limit blacks. What limits people is lack of character. What limits people is that they don't have the f//king nerve or imagination to star in their own movie, let alone direct it. Yuck."
-Tom Robbins

 "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless-- it will change. It will not be broken; it will becme unbreakable,
impenetrable, irredeemable."

i found a miracle

Not the one I'm looking for, but I was thinking and I found one.
Red rocks.
I think red rocks are some of the most beautiful things on planet earth. What I mean are the ones that are in Arizona, you know those desert sculptures that just dominate the landscape? When I die, I want to dream of being a red rock. Maybe even be one, for a bit.
They're sanded down by the wind all the time, and it makes me really sad to think that maybe one day they're not gonna stand up tall and brave in the middle of the desert, but that's okay because I think the sand and dust they stand on is just too gorgeous as well.
You know what else I think is beautiful? The night sky. Or the sky in general. Even if you think of it scientifically, how isn't it a miracle that we see black as blue? And we see darkness with broken jewels in it? Stars are my favourite things in the whole of existence, I think.
I love the sky. I'd like to be a rock until the end of earth, and when the sun supernovas in five odd billion years, I want my atoms to fly back into the heart of a beautiful nebula and start making some other planet. I'd like to twinkle, and if there is life out there other than for us, I would like someone to make a wish on me.
Well, my atoms.
I love that - referring to myself as atoms. We're all made of atoms. I'm made of what you're made of, and rocks are made of, and stars are made of.
& if that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.
