Amazment

It's crazy but I still am amazed by things in my life. Perhaps it's the artist in me. The creative person who is constantly looking and observing. Watching the world and the people in it. I can't say that I take everything that I see home with me but I know it's there and at times, things still amaze me.

These days, though, it hasn't been so much what I have been observing but my thoughts and where they take me. Earlier, it hit me. I was thinking about my friends who recently promised themselves to each other and then my situation popped back into my head. At that moment, I was amazed. How is it that at the same time, two people are in the happiest place of their lives and wearing nothing but smiles everyday whereas two other people are deciding that the cards weren't in their favor and are going their separate ways. I just got to thinking that at any given moment, most anything that can happen in the world is happening. Birth/Death, Marriage/Divorce, Love/Hate, Talking/Arguing, Eating/Starving, Weight Gain/Weight Loss/ Sleep/Insomnia and Peace/War. There seems to be a pattern. At least I see one. Happiness/Sadness is constant.

Where someone is smiling - someone else is frowning.

Constantly.
