what I am thinking about...
Why do we always want what we can't have? Why do we need to want what we can't have?
Is there something in our collective subconscious that makes things that are unavailable to us more attractive? How do we somehow manage to convince ourselves that these forbidden fruits are within our reach? Is there a natural need for human drama and struggle that makes this desire necessary?
Is this what romance is based on? (or at least reality tv... lol)
Are we all believing in the same lie? That this delusion of amazing life affirming love is real and or attainable? And is there really a long arduous struggle for true love along the way that makes it even better once we attain it? Have we just been told about love over and over and over again since we are old enough to remember that we just don't question its existence? or is this truly possible to find someone that can give you a fairy tale romance? and what does that mean?
And why are we always drawn to things that we know are bad for us? Things we know that are emotionally destructive and or worse... Do we like the feeling of rebelling against the voice in our head? Ignoring our own well meant advice and those of our friends and family.
I know I am always attracted to things I can't have... a habit that I have been trying to break. With success and failure but its a hard thing to avoid. Does that mean I am more human than human? or is that rationalizing my own desires?
This has been a tough year for me friends, since I started grad school. I have spent a lot of time thinking about who I am and why I am the way I am... and why I do what I do. I feel as if I have hit a lot of walls this past year, and I am doing that over analyzing thing now where i try to figure out why this happens... so bear with me friends.
