Every time we close each other.

Tunes in my head: Shiny Happy People by R.E.M.
Atmosphere: Sore


What is the appeal in being uncontained, being rough, being improvisational?

We see these people with their flaws, their difficulties, their failings. And yet we don't see it neccesary to iron them out.

Now, if we were true perfectionists, we would. If we took other humans as we took the rest of life, we would.

But we can learn to embrace other people's annoyances and flaws. We learn to enjoy the dulcet tones of snoring.

Why? Is it because of our desire to make people happy?

Or is it mere acceptance? Is it merely some attempt to make others happy?

I actually enjoy seeing people's flaws. I know that I myself am one of the most flawed and defeatable people in the face of the planet.

So seeing that other people have them too makes me not feel so bad about my situation, sometimes. It brings a sense of empathy, which is always handy.

Yeah, this post makes no sense. Sorry.
