Love Is Stretchy?

Love is wonderful in that it can never be wasted or used up. We can never replace the people or animals we have loved, but the love we felt can be expanded. I like to think of love as being stretchy. It is easy to feel guilty when you start to love something new, like somehow that means you love your old friend less. But when you think of love as being stretchy and able to expand, you can see that there will always be room for everything. You can love as much as you want.


That's based on something I read today, and I liked it a lot. I edited the existing quote to be something I can refer back to as to remind myself that just because I will enjoy people or things in the future, it doesn't mean my experience in the past meant anything less than what I'm experiencing now. I don't know why that bothers me so much, the idea that once the past is over, my experiences in that time and the people I loved will all mean nothing. I can't remember fondly the things I learned, because I have to make way for new experiences. The love I felt back then is now gone, and I feel empty to have lost it.
But, I don't need to feel that way. Because love is stretchy.
See how easy it is to take quotes off the internet and make them apply only to oneself? Aw yeah.

This blog will probably be mostly thoughts.
My life isn't very interesting or dramatic, but my thoughts are quite daunting.
Today, a boy I met once posted his thoughts on the internet. Some of those thoughts which I assume everyone has as they grow up and begin to comprehend the complexity of the world. It got me thinking.

I realize everything gets me thinking. I think so much that I somewhat normal state for me is tense and completely overwhelmed by nothing but just, thoughts. Some useful, most completely out there and crazy-ass.  I'm pretty much completely at a loss regarding how to shut my mind up.

For now I figure I'll indulge the thoughts and write about them. But today, I need to do homework.
