Again I must apologize profusely for my prolonged absences. It isn't that I have been busy, but instead I have been sick. Am I of sound mind? Possibly. Am I healthy? No. Health is an abstract idea in my mind, and I believe that no body can ever be so well-oiled and no mind can ever be cleared of haze and fumes as others, men and women and others make it out to be. Their blank faces stare at me from torn pages of long-forgotten magazines and commercials on the emptiest channels in the witching hour, the same robotic-sounding message thrown at me from every angle of every time of every day, a voice pleading to try the latest advancements in technology, to reach out to them, to hold their seamless white porcelain hands as they surround me, crowd me, swallow me whole and tell me that they can they will they must fix me, they try to fix what cannot be fixed, for our bodies are imperfect, we lack the qualities that we desire and we reach and reach and reach out for said quality, only to fall back onto the uncountable amount of soulless followers who desperately try to reach out into the void, attempting to grasp the same unreachable thing that you tried to grab a hold of merely moments before, and they all fall, they all fail, they all end up at the same place they were before and you realize that you're forever stuck in a limbo surrounded by unrecognisable censored faces in a grey and endless void and you scream.
But anyway, I was asked "Did you ever have an idea- not necessarily related to Bitstrips (but may be, if you wish) - that you abandoned? How have your ideas changed over time? Do you think ideas changing are a reflection of growth, or an unwillingness to commit?"
Those are pretty good questions.
Have I ever had an idea that I abandoned?
Yes.
How have my ideas changed over time? Well.
My ideas and beliefs have changed and grew over time because I am continuously learning about new things, whether in history or happening at this very moment. When I was younger I never realized how offensive and horrible some things could be, because I grew up privileged and I seemed to shelter myself from the world around me, never knowing what it would be like to be in poverty or not be able to be or do certain things because of my race. And still, I am a pretty privileged person. But now I realize that those things happen in the world and even more, I try educate myself more and more about the things I don't understand, being the things that do not and never will happen to me because of my privileged status. I am still learning about these things, and I continue to grow and change because of it. I will continue to grow and change as time passes, and I do not intend to stop for a while.
And finally, growth vs. commitment issues.
So, when we talk about Bitstrips series, and the series ends 2 episodes later, it's probably a matter of lack of commitment. Just might not be what the author expected it to be and quit. But for other things, like what happened to be, it's definitely a matter of growth.
I'm tired. I don't want to give a good answer.How was my blogging? Tell me in the comments and suggest a topic for my next post.
Also, do you like Florence + the Machine?
Thank you very much.
