Transcendentalist

Something I came up during my Transcendentalism project...

Clouds. I was in my backyard, laying down and I looked up and saw clouds. A cloud is a visible mass of droplets, right? Well. I saw this tiny cloud passing by, then it hit me... is it possible to see this cloud somewhere else? I mean.. someone far, a different city or country. will they be able to see the same cloud that I'm seeing? I suppose that it's possible, but... I get the feeling that as the wind blows, the shape of it changes and it moves along with the rest of the wave..



Alone. Being alone has its ups and downs.
Ups- You tend to think a lot just by being alone. I work better when I'm alone.
Downs- Ohh man.. XD!


I confined myself in my room for 5 days, all the lights are off.. Since, my parents supported this, I didn't eat at all. The routine was School then Room. They leave work really early, so I have the house to myself till 2 AM. I can walk around the house, and just sat around. It's very quiet, and eerie.. Then, I started to get REALLY, REALLY, REALLY depressed. It's normal when you're alone. It just happens... I sat around and think, Positive feedbacks became negative. I wrote everything down on my spiral..

here's two:

I don't want to be happy anymore. People are smiling at you, you force yourself to smile just so they won't see that broken look on your face. Amazing, right? <--that feeling just popped up. I laughed so hard. XD!

"I kind of tend to talk to myself when I feel down. weird..." MOVE ON.. MOVE ON... XD!


I still think that turning off the electricity for a month makes it a reasonable way and proper way to show Earth Day, but who's willing to listen? People tend to be more selfish and focus more on the materialistic things. Are Phones really that important? No. But Mobile phones now became a necessity for life. We use it to keep in touch of people, better way to communicate. :)
When I heard about this project and simplicity. HELL YAH! I jumped and focused on being alone, and not using any electronic gadgets. (though it's fucking hypocritical of me.. i'm using a computer to post in on a blog. XD!)

What else.. was there... =/ i had so many things.. I was thinking like Thoreau and Emerson. XD! i was on a roll...

A thought came up to me.. lol.. imagine if we walked around talking in opera? haha that's silly..

LOL. I had a lot of alone thoughts. They were very strong, then my nose started bleeding. it was a sign to shut me up. XD!

I walked around the neighborhood for hours. Noon till Night. I looked up and saw stars. I stopped for a moment, and just gaze up..though, i'm in a suburban area.. the night sky was full of stars. Big and small stars glittering, then a slow plane came flying by. I smiled at this... Nature is good, huh? XD! THOUGH, I could've lived in the forest in Oyster Creek Park! The woods. :l BUT I get to spend time just walking around, it felt cool...



This project made me realize a lot of things. I learned something from it, and it makes me happy. This was a great opportunity for me. I won't forget the experience...

Though, I can just put out that Emerson and Thoreau would be very displeased to find out that our society hasn't really encourage Transcendentalism, we more tend to be... materialistic and you know, society has its ways to conform you in a way. It's never ending. Change happens.

Change... An old story has it that as we go through life, we really dont change. We just become more of the same. If you look around you as the years go by and it seems a very valid premise. People dont change. As a matter of fact, most of us resist change very strongly. Yet change is a sure thing, the only variable is rate. Slow we read as 'Evolution', and fast as 'Revolution'.

Kudos. :)
