🧠ðŸ’I was listening to this song called "same drugs" by Chance the Rapper... and thinking deep things today and wanted to share cause I know some of you like to go DEEP. And those of you like the surface only and who are only here for the melons, there's a nice sweater puppy video attached as well, so everyone leaves a happy camper. If you happen to enjoy this post and like me to share these type of thoughts in the future, please comment below so I know it's something you guys are interested in 🥰
"We don't do the same drugs no more"... sure, we can think he is talking about coke and weed. and maybe something more nefarious like junk, they are interested in different things now, I think that's the gist of it. The problem being because their interests have changed, they go with different friends and do different activities. You have heard that spiritual adage that says soemthing like: "a man can't go down to the river twice". The idea behind it is by the time the man goes the second time to the river, neither the river or the man are the same. Both have changed so dramatically they can't be thought of as the same. Now think instead of it being a man and a river, it's a man and a man. What happens when you are constantly changing and so is everybody around you... I think we have all experienced this to some degree, going out with a friend one day and realizing neither your friend or yourself are the same people you were when you first became friends and the other person feels so foreign because you have changed in completely different directions. Like two boats passing each other in the night. There was also a scene in that quintessential millenial movie "Lost in Translation" where Scarlett Johansson's character complains to her sister? over the phone that she no longer knows who she married because "he is using hair products now". Maybe he used to be a scruffy man who didn't care about those things but becoming "famous" in his field made him more vain, made him worry about his appearance and reputation and she isn't willing to follow. How sad.
Now let's give it another twist... how about fragments of yourself. How about you realize one day your heart, your mind and your will are not getting along. Maybe you used to feel confident in your decisions because every part of you wanted something similar, and now it turns out your heart hates what your mind wants because they have developed in opposite directions. How do you live with yourself when there is a part of you that is pulling you to one side and another that pulls you in a completely different direction? I think this might be the root cause of most illnesses.. fighting against yourself quietly, subconsciously, without unity.
Anyway, if you want to see the second take on this little dance when the sweater wasn't as good at keeping everything in place, I am sending a PPV with that.
