One girls observations

People really are interesting on many different levels.

On the totally superficial level, i.e. the way people look, there is extensive variety. Dress is a huge form of expression. To look at the way someone dresses, one of two things can be derived.
1) This person associates themselves with this certain group of people
or
2) This person is nothing like the group of people they are trying to look like, but desperatly wish that they were.

Each of these can be explored deeper. If the first is the case, then why is it that specific group that they have decided to join. What does that say abut them? Does it express rejection, anger, hopelessness, joy, peace, love?
If the second is the case, then why do they want so badly to be a part of that group? What longing in their soul has caused them to abandon the social band they originally belonged to in order to try to fit in somewhere else? A serious pain? Possibly a death or divorce? Or maybe extreme joy? Peer pressure? Rebellion? Trying to impress someone else?

And to think that that's just on the surface of things. Life is so complex and amazing

Thinking

Penny for your thoughts...

I've been thinking a lot. Dangerous, yes, i know ^_^ But the thing is... things aren't always as they seem... or how you comprehend them.

You have a day that's just horrible... everything goes wrong, you feel horrible, you cry in school, your friends are angry at you, you make a bad grade in class, you aren't getting things done on time, and so on. Things could not get any worse!!! But then you hear that your friend is in the hospital suffering a lot of pain... alone. Really puts things into prespective, eh?

I'd say that a lot of things in life are like that... that if you just see things in contrast, you see it in a whole different light.
