Act Naturally

Is it better to be insincere and not show emotion or to put it all on display?

What if the timing doesn't sync between two attracting properties?

I suppose it depends on the person and their perspectives...hmmm.

I like someone and it's mutual. It's nice to be in each other's company, we get along, and that's all there is.

And since August has started it's been so nice having my friend around. I've appreciated the company, the conversations, &laughter -- I don't know, in my opinion, we fit together.

Out of all the types of relationships a person goes through, i believe the best ones are open and honest. Friends are hard to find, and that makes your "ships" more worthwhile. Sometimes you have to weed through the nastys to find those few that you just connect with...the ones you feel comfortable around. Those are true friends, the kind that accept you with all your flaws, give you sound advice and all the dirty details whilst taking it from you as well. Those types define companion, and I'm really happy to say I have more than one, but less than three.

Imagine

This morning as I sat and watched the sunrise with my friends, I felt content.
We sat on the damp roof observing the changing colors and embraced the coolness in the air...
It was relaxed and calm...the silence was warm and the conversations fluid and easy.
In retrospect it was an ideal/romantic morning.

I believe everyone questions humanity and the world around them, but it's moments like this when one can really appreciate having someone along the same lines with similar and different thoughts. That's what relationships are built off of...the giving and taking of each others input and output.

When the sun was done hiding, we came down and had donuts.
a sweet ending.

Karma

It's come to my attention that I haven't been viewing life.
I haven't been enjoying the scenery...and that's wrong.

So as of today that's what I shall live for.

Beauty in all of life.

"rock on"

It’s obvious that music affects our moods… when it comes to preference, people listen to music because 1. they like it and/or 2. it makes them happy. Different music makes different people feel good...SO, that's why they listen to it. Why would someone take the time to listen to something that made them unhappy, unless they wanted to be unhappy?

Thinking about how music creates different feelings I came across another question:

Does the atmosphere also affect the mood or the way you listen to the music?

I suppose the atmosphere could also mean the people you are with at the time…you get certain feelings from the energies of different people and "feed" off of it, so it makes sense that they would also have an act in the mood or emotion.
I came across this question last night/early this morning. I was at a newly acquired friends’ place and we sat on the couch just listening to the sounds of Radiohead – I believe, don’t hold me to it. It was then that I realized that at any other time I wouldn’t have heard it the same. Right then I was sitting and focusing on the melodies and sounds from all the instruments…it was a nice relaxing feeling, the kind I normally get when I realize what a poem actually means behind the denotative meaning.

Music is always a nice element to have around you, especially if it evokes sentiment and positive feedback.

I was talking to the friend about it—he proposed-in the midst of multiple conversations-that the everyone’s tonal fluctuation was changing with the music. Going back to my vague thesis, music does affect mood and setting.

Music is powerful. It's wonderful something so complex yet simple can move people in such a way.
