• What does it mean to find meaning? Is the question in the answer or the answer in the question? Is there any substance to that, the redundancy, or is paradox pointless? I'm not sure and I don't think i ever will be I just responded to someone's journal for the first time and it felt like the right thing to do I love looking on here and seeing someone has commented on my work And on some level, I think that's all anyone really wants to be recognized and acknowledged, like yes, you do exist I see your art and i just wanted to let you know i'm listening you feel...important valued and to know i can touch someone else both by creating and by listening is powerful from now on, i'm always going to try to comment hopefully people will do the same for me? Lately, I've been spending alot of time observing there's this website stumbleupon.com that just directs you to random sites about everything now, while i would never sit down and google "cool art" sometimes the fact that its in front of me is enought to appreciate it it's like eating things just because they're on your plate i don't know, you might discover something worthwhile again with that meaning i still can't quite define it, but sometimes it just hits me i'll be reading, or listening, and then BAM! i just have a sense that whatever i'm doing is important I get that feeling when I write sometimes like maybe this is what i'm supposed to be doing? i've heard it said many times that everybody needs something to hold onto, but i don't think it's quite that simple I think everyone needs a purpose, some sort of philosiphy or atleast i do and because in all honesty i am just a mix of every experience i've encountered, my own personal mantra is kind of the same way I think that's why i've become so obsessed with dissecting I hate just the surface, the hi how are you, fine it's never okay to be not okay we need that white lie to keep the balance In my opinion, I think we have two real choices One is we can to some extent just go through the motions, convince ourselves that the things that make us miserable are merely mandatory obstacles to happiness, things we just have to get through, because that's just the way it is and we have to accept it. But the other option is we can curl up in a ball and just refuse to get out of bed because so much about this world is so blatently wrong and cruel, like destruction and polite conversation, and everyone is ants, and no one really caring, and the list goes on forever, but being conscoius of that sadness all the time to the point you can't fake it for long enough to do anything else? well that's how you wind up in a mental hospital "I know i'm not crazy, i've just lost my will" does everyone have those moments? i wish i could live for a day, a second, inside someone elses head just so i'd know See, the fact that the lyric even exist though does offer some comfort because even if it isn't everyone, atleast I Know it is someone else besides me

• everyone does have those moments.
  andrew mcmahon knows the truth =)
