My random musings

I think I am going to use this blog as a repository for my various moments of philosophical, romantic, or psychological musings. Every once and a while I have a moment of clarity and write something that I find interesting and sometimes insightful. Here are a couple that I have written recently.


I was wondering if we could talk. Not because I have anything important to say. No, I just want to talk because I love talking to you. I love hearing your thoughts and ideas. I really don't care what we're talking about. Any subject will do. I just want to spend as much time as you can spare talking with you. Give me a minute and I'll be satisfied. An hour, and I'll be happy. A lifetime, I will love you until the stars die.


Every person you meet attaches to you a tether that binds you together. Each begins as thin as a hair, but over time, the layers build up until the tether is thick as the steel cords of a suspension bridge. Depending on the person and the relationship, they can be as smooth and gentle as silk or chafe like rough spun hemp. The trick to getting through life is to find which are the smooth tethers and strengthen them, while severing the rough. The more rough connections in your life, the more pain and discomfort you will feel. Cut the rough cords and treasure the gentle.
