A Couple of Things....

So, I just finished a post on logic. I think it was boring, so I'm just gonna lay it to the side. And, it involves onions. Really, how good can something be if it involves onions?

On another topic...

I think that my brain works differently than everyone else. Things that seem so black and white to me, so obvious, are lost on people closest to me. Even when I try to explain what I'm feeling or why I reacted to something the way I did, I can't get the ideas through. I get so frustrated, and I'm tempted to pull out the paper and crayons in an attempt to clairify things.

I know part of the issue is that the other person also works on a different level than the rest of the populace. You are a result of your environment, your home life, the lessons you've been taught, the experiences you go through. But only in part. You are also a result of what you choose to do about your environment, home life, experiences. And I have to say, I'm getting a glimpse of how different our minds are, how different our 'life theories' are, for lack of better words. And even though our brainwaves are clashing and cutting eachother off, that does not mean we are not compatible, or that we are really so different.

Another side track. I'm happy to say that even though I did not choose to add the mending relationships to my list, I have recently gotten back two good friends. We had gone astray, for very good reasons. Its been about three years for one, four for the other. What the issues were do not apply here, only that fact that they are both back in my life, and I am supremely estatic about it. The saying that you never know what you're missing until its gone does not apply here. More like I never knew how much I missed them until I got them back.

At the time, a break was the best idea for all parties involved. I don't regret the time away from them, but I realize the value of the time I will now have with them. Sometimes the second time around can be strengthened by the failures of the first. The mending three relationships requirement of the UBBT is absolutely invaluable.
