So I’m in Art History…so update…
Life is fine. I’m not doing anything this weekend, which sucks ass. But some stress relief is supposed to be going down tonight, which in all technicalities is not the weekend.
Other than that, I have just been thinking and talking too much as usual.
Me, Nick, and Court had a lunch yesterday that ended up being 5 hours. Which was crazy hahaha.
We all actually noticed that we are the first time that all of our friends were our age. Minus Jessica, who always seemed older than me, all of my friends were older. But we are all on the same level, which is really cool.
But we talked about everything. And I realized a lot about myself that I had refused to talk about for a while.
I don’t believe in soul mates. Which is kind of scary for me to think about, so I never did. But Nick, Court, and I had a rather detailed discussion on it, and yeah, I think that is slightly ridiculous. I think that you can meet people who you love, and you will meet someone you will love above anyone else. But there is no soul involved. Your soul grows from interaction with other people, but your soul does it’s own growth and then adds to the collective. But soul mate…
Maybe I just loathe the term.
Maybe all hopeless romantic has been sucked out of me.
We also talked about marriage. I really don’t seek…marriage per say. I could just be in a committed relationship and be perfectly fine. I would honestly only get married for the other guy, if it was big deal to him. Or if kids are coming along. But otherwise…ehh. I think that you can have a solid, relationship without some piece of paper from the government that states “You must love each other til death do you part”
And we talked about “God” or at least man’s idea of “God”. Which I told them my theories and they told me theirs. Both of them are defiantly theists. And I’m the agonistic with atheistic tendencies. But we have also lived very different lives. I pointed out that you go through tough times, you turn to faith, a lot of people turn to the idea of the Christian god.
But then it keeps going…and so do you, and suddenly when it used to be so easy to believe in a god, it becomes so hard. I am jaded to the idea of god. And a life gets tougher and more happens… I will probably keep going.
And when anyone asks what I will do if there is a god and suddenly one day we have to chat…I think he and I will have a very interesting discussion.
And it so interesting to me that someone can discuss the idea that god is real, to impress those ideas on people. But when you speak the opposite, even non-religious people get uncomfortable. People who aren’t even Christians get offended when you say something against Jesus, particularly if you address the fact that he really was just a man.
I don’t feel like either of those things make me an unspiritual person. I am more in touch with myself as a person than I have ever been. I am all about some Zen. But….soulmates? god?..eh..
Otherwise life is chaos..
oh yeah, and….
