Never express yourself more clearly than you think.

The beauty of simplicity

I miss the simple life, ignorance really is bliss. The way i see it, the more you learn and the more you grow as a person you notice the flaws in everything and you overthink the consequences of all your actions and are therefore responsible for such actions. As a child you can do just about anything and nobody cares, there is a set school plan and you follow that and you have set things you have to do at home for pocket money. As you grow older you are thrown out into the open with so many paths to chose. Perhaps paths would be to simplify it too much, it's more like a membrane of life. A network of criss-crossing, overlapping paths where there is no indication of where each one leads until the choice is made. As a child you follow a dirt path, ocasionally you wander off into the bushes at the side of the path but your still heading in the same direction.

I still don't know where i'm going in life. I can't see me ever fitting into normal society. I find myself to be unlike anybody i have ever met. I don't want the world to see be because i don't think that they'd understand.

Heh, Iris lyrics are popular today.

I've decided that perhaps it doesn't matter where you're going, as long as you don't stop. It's about the journey rather than the destination 'n all that.

I like that, sounds like very good advice to me. As for not being like anybody else you've ever met, I think pretty much everybody feels that to some degree. In contrast we regularly categorise most other people around us quite easily. Our small brains could hardly comprehend the full extent of each and every person's uniqueness I believe.

I don't belive there is the one path to where your sposed to go, more like a multi-lane lane freeway. Like with job's, no one person stays in there same job path, eg my dad started out in sheep shearing to accounting to logistics. Life is what you make it, it doesnt matter if you fit as long as there are people there who understand your ways. And as long as you keep going down that freeway and dont slam on the brakes or chuck it in reverse things usually turn out how it should.
