To summarize this surfaced thought, I’ve realized that the most unlikely people are really the most important. We just say hi to each other and then one day a whole friendship unfolds.
Following that is a cyclone-like whirlwind of events that occur and you are never the same again. Yet they always leave and we move on and memories fade away.
My thought is that spontaneity is one of the best ways to live life. It can hurt but it can also be amazing. It can be unforgettable.
The most memorable moments are those that that you never knew were coming but happened out of spontaneity.
Before you know it you have fun and you feel close to people you never thought you’d ever bond with.
This thought process always stems from one place for me: the beach. I had that chance to look into the clouds and it just overwhelmed me again that realization of how we as people are. We’re caught up in this entirely man-made world in which we have the illusion that we’re leading ourselves somewhere. Yet we fight our way through these tangled paths of technology and careers and still somehow struggle. While we struggle, those clouds in the skies are still floating up there.
Magnetic Attraction
I felt that attachment to the ocean that I always do. That strange magnetic attraction where I feel small when I stare at the water and I realize how little we are in the huge scheme of things and how we try to make the most of life. And when we think we can change things, that we can change the world, the ocean will always be there, unchanged.
An earthquake will always happen when it wants to and nature will always be alive and more powerful than anyone can be and there’s not much we can do about that.
When I stare at the ocean and I see those waves endlessly rising and falling, I realize something. Way before I came to this world and long after my life is scattered to the wind, those same waves will be rising and falling, regardless.
