out of mind |
there is a place you can go, even for just a moment - to contemplate reality. to absorb knowledge. to become more scientifically literate than you were before. in this place you may see things that frighten you, that shock you, that force you to question the world around you. within this place you have the ability to discuss, contemplate & define your own inner peace. this is a place that strives to educate in order to achieve a more harmonious balance with the world & grasp the actions needed to perfect our life, our world or our own personal corner of the planet. within this place, your ideas, current education, ideals, traditions & religions may be tested. this place will challenge your mind, build your courage & embrace your fears. this place encourages you to understand your place in the universe. just like the world we know, this will not always be a safe place. this place is not a room to hide in, it is a gateway to a higher sense of purpose. this place is an open door that allows you to move freely at your own pace without prejudice or judgement. this is that place. and it's yours. and ultimately, it's whatever you need it to be in your place in time. peace & love to each of you. enjoy. |
And what a marvelous adventure it will bei imagine the time change in either happened, or is just now happening.. flying is so fucking weird. i love it though, i love the feeling of being in the sky. i can feel the fact that there is pure sky underneath me.
I have no “significant other”. Everyone I’ve ever met, kissed, loved, hated or spoken to has been significant because neither of us have encountered another species to exchange or compare existence with outside of our world.
As far as we can see, we currently are the only ones around, so each one of us on this planet is a mighty significant compliment to the universe, due to our ability to actually contemplate its incredible vastness, variety & unmatched complexity.
And what a privilege it is to not only understand this, but to perfect our ability & our tools which equip our species to not only communicate with & study the universe, but to set sail for another world entirely.
But in the meantime, above all else, we must learn what it truly means to love. Only then can we all be proud as a species to be much more than an accidental significance; instead, we all would respect our small corner window of the universe, venture out into the cosmos, represent this galaxy & speak for the Earth.

EDIT: since I wrote this a year or two ago, I have most definitely acquired a pretty definitive “significant someone”. Science, just as in life, is a constant process of correction & adaptation.
To my love..
I can’t concentrate on anything because I keep thinking about how blissfully giddy we both are going to be, potentially calm, serene & quiet with adoration. In some dreamlike state it may feel like each day we are able to wake up & realize that we get to begin & end our days together; knowing for real, this is the beginning of a completely different era of our lives.
It’s almost as if we both independently evolved to the levels we are at, realizing who we are & who we aren’t. And when you really understand yourself & have the type of mind that thinks deeply, contemplates the universe, monitors their own thoughts & becomes separated from typical behavior in society, when it comes to spending time with someone & especially loving someone on this level - the reality is,
yes there are billions of other people out there & maybe only a couple million I would associate with, or maybe a couple hundred thousand I would be attracted to, then about a few thousand I could connect with on a really personal level the way you & I have due to our passions, interests & perspectives.
But the percentage/amount of people I could truly fall in love with inside the spectrum of feelings/emotions, chemically-charged atoms, molecular, neurological, psychological, physical & sexual processes which have ignited & synched up to all of yours,
that calculation can’t possibly be made because there is nothing comparable to what happened when you entered my life.
I’m pretty positive that our existence together has been, scientifically & perhaps obviously - naturally selected. So we are more connected to the universe (& each other) than we may ever know.
..I really hope no one ever questions my motives, respect, trust or love for you, because I am happy to provide that same response to anyone & everyone.
Hey married couples…
Fuck your vows.
There are a countless number of people that could have come & gone from my life.
And although I’m not a believer in fate, its much more incredible & “unbelievable” when understanding how we all operate & are all just trying to understand life & navigate ourselves toward happiness.
The reality that we have randomly drifted into each others’ existence, setting the course long ago by carving out of life our interests, dislikes, passions, preferences, peers, curiosities/questions & ourselves, which set the foundation for the road we’ve constructed or chosen in this life - and out of all the crossroads we have arrived throughout our lives,
we find ourselves meeting each other at one of them.
As much as we could sit around & discuss how rare & improbable it is that this could actually happen amongst two people such as we, I prefer to hold back on asking any more questions until we can begin searching for answers in life together.
The adventure that lies at our feet is ours to mold & explore, & I’m hesitant to look any further for those answers than behind your eyes.
“Not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you’re in love, you want to tell the world.”
—Carl Sagan, 1996
I have nothing to cry about; but you embody everything I’ve ever imagined about a seemingly perfect individual, so in a way, I have everything to cry about.
I love my silence & privacy & just being in my own world & space most of the time, but ever since you physically came into my life, made yourself comfortable in my arms then left on that train, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to just pick up from where I left off.
Brushing my teeth or just moving around with my thoughts is different now. Something has been removed; or maybe a part of me & my consciousness has been exchanged with you - it’s interesting.
I am always studying, learning, contemplating & discussing the universe & life. But as connected & unique & humble as I do feel, more than ever, I also have this aching & nagging point of pain & hurt inside. It’s been present ever since I knew you were much more than some significant friend or pen pal.
I can thank Tumblr for that.
But the rest, everything that’s happened between us only could have happened if we were operating on the same type of wavelength & our interests & perspectives about the world were nearly the same, which they are.
I don’t believe in fate because fate itself is interpretable from person to person depending on their level of scientific understanding about the natural world. I do, however, believe in destiny, because destiny is a measurable & traceable benchmark in someone’s life along the arrow of time.
And I’ve dreamt of loving someone like you all of my life. However ironic or mystifying it may be that our paths intersected in this moment of time, is irrelevant to me.
The only thing I see is my destiny.
Your presence & impact on my current existence is one of the most random, unexpected events of my life & has easily revealed to be one of the most clear & natural ways to discover what it means to truly fall in love with someone.
I’ve never looked forward this much to exploring each others’ privacy & create our own ‘personal space’
I love you,
that is all.
