Therapy 101: Hygiene

Daily routines are interesting. You figure you have to brush your teeth, you have to take a shower, you have to [insert something you have to do on a daily basis in order to fit into the social norm]. But i feel like not enough people sit back and really think about the process of doing all of those things and what it means BESIDES the fact that you're getting so fresh n' so clean clean.

it is a process of defining who you want to become. you do not want to be ostracized from society. you want to fit in to a certain extent. it is a direct reflection of your own dedication. and not even just a reflection of your dedication to your appearance. NO! it shows more your habits as a human being. your ability to go through the same process every single day for your entire life in order to feel clean and appropriate. to be able to go through that same strenuous labor everyday because you enjoy the fruits of your labor so much is probably trickling down into everything else you do with your life. you are a go -getter!!

you can tell a lot by how a person handles their own body.

ALSO

it seems like it's more of a therapeutic process as well. it's like one of these things:

it's therapy. it's mind-numbing, repeated process for the sake of unwinding the ball of re-wound yarn that is your mind everyday, after static that is your life.

so next time you're in the bathroom gettin' yo clean on, remember that what you're doing directly reflects the promise you have already made to yourself: to be a functioning part of society!.... and also that its completely, therapeutically, mind-numbing.

Love is Irritational

sidenote pt.1: my brother will (hopefully) be guest blogging on this blog from now on. He will (hopefully) disclose when it is him writing

sidenote pt. 2: I will be in South America until November and I have made a blog through tumblr. I know I know... There's reasons..

I have found myself hopelessly in love with a boy I met about three weeks ago.

We met in San Diego at a skate convention called ASR.

We met at a Bliss Magazine after party on the rooftop of a downtown San Diego hotel where there was a beautiful mermaid swimming in the rooftop pool.

We spent the night together and then he visited me in Long Beach for two days.

It took two days to realize we were in love with each other

He lives in Australia.

I am irrational.

I am irrationally in love with a boy I do not know very well

Explanation:

There needs to come a time where you realize that happiness and sadness are completely connected and both need each other to exist. I am super happy right now with this boy, even though we can't see each other all the time. But I am also aware and prepared for potential heartbreak for the sole fact that I'm loving blindly and hopelessly. I'm "dreaming big" so to speak, about what this could potentially be.

But isn't that the way you should do anything? When else do you limit yourself because of fear of failing? Only with love. You were heartbroken once and now you promised yourself you'd never be in that situation again. So every relationship after that is half-assed. You're wasting your time! You're living in the potential of the future.

So I can also say that I'm not going to live in a house for fear of a fire. Because it could happen!! So why buy a house if it might catch on fire? Right?? Too far-fetched

I think i'm getting to my point, i promise... it's almost there

I'm going to love fully, without fear of what might happen because of memories of what HAS happened. That is not in my personality, or my behavior, to half-ass things because I'm afraid

Fear is a Curse

I love a boy from Australia. I met him three weeks ago. We're going to get married

I dare you to tell my future for me. Because you don't know either
