makes me wonder

i'm taking a philosophy class and it's really intriguing. today, my teacher started going on and on about how people try to sugar coat things or fluff them up. like, he was saying that his mom died, and that a lady that he knew when he was younger ran into him and asked how his mother was.  he told her, pointblank, that she was dead. at first it was shocking that he would just say that. why wouldn't he say she passed on. or that she was at peace, she went with God? then i got to thinking. why do we do worry so much about coating our language? i'm not saying that i condone being rude, but what's wrong with just being real and honest? it's shocking, but it's okay. right? haha maybe it was cooler in class.

he also talked about failing. everyone is going to fail. it's inescapable  it's what we do with our failures that make us better. it's so easy to give up and walk away or quit. but where's the fun in that. we're all dying anyway. make the most of this life.
Americans are so spoiled and distracted. so i'm thinking that i need to detox more often. but detox as in shut off everything. cellphone, internet, radio, and television. it makes you look at yourself, for real. everyone is living in constant fear of themselves. and their deep rooted issues and fears. i think "detoxing" would be healthy. and since i can't do it through girls' camp (i hate that i'm too old now) anymore i don't know when it'll happen again.

but it should. like really.

can you say ramble? gawsh i'm strange..
