sometimes I think about the way things once were...the perspective of memory and actuality. the difference between what is known and what is...what is perceived and unnoticed. the sum of everything is what forms a person gradually...years, days, minutes. each moment including the unknown is built upon incapable of subtraction. the surroundings including other people are how we learn to live...we form our own opinions stemmed from what we hear and are told. and when i think about the way things are now...i have an undescribable appreciation felt in my heart for what was given to me from those closest.
