Just Breathe.

As life gets longer, awful feels softer.

Well it feels pretty soft to me.

If it takes shit to make bliss,

Then I feel pretty blissfully.

-Modest Mouse.

Good song, great band.

Spring should be inspiring.

Gentle.

Easy.

All I see running down the feed of various newsfeeds of various social networking sites is "Busy". "Stressed". "Can't take it anymore". I'm included in this category.

It's quite beautiful outside most days, and it hurts to be trapped inside. I watch the world through glass windows. My reality is viewed the same way television is. On nights where I up late working I can hear birds chirping, confusing the artificial lights for sunshine. I am confused too birdies. It's hard seeing things around you that look, feel, and seem beautiful and feeling like you're missing out. It's hard feeling average and wondering if you could have pushed yourself more, or knowing that even if you had, nothing much would have come of it. Humanity can be cumbersome. It's hard feeling you deserve more. Is it mass media? It it everything we're shown? Everything thrown into our faces to make us believe we're all above and beyond ourselves? You can be a hero, you can be a star. This person is a winner. This person is better then you. How can we be inspired or have faith in ourselves, when there are so many setbacks? It's hard to smile even when the world outside is blooming.

I wish we could all enjoy Springtime more. I wish we could all enjoy pretty things more. It's hard to feel positive when nothing seems to go well.

That's about it. Just some thoughts & pretty pics. Remember there's sweetness left outside, escape into it when you get a chance.
