Ascend From Dirt

Hehehe, I’m so weird and I don’t see that as a bad thing. We should embrace the things we love about ourselves, and if what we love happens to be our ridiculous sense of humor or our overwhelming fascination with remarkable creatures, so be it. I can appreciate myself because of these things, and in that sense, I am my own greatest friend.

A large glass room, an empty space

No breeze nor scent flies through this place

A sudden soil, a sprouting tree

The branches stretching wildly

Another bed, another growth

The leaves are falling from them both

The branches link, a sweet fruit swells

They fill the room with pleasant smells

They tower tall, they fill the space

No more could grow within this place

A wave of heat, a piercing sound

A flicking flame grows from the ground

The falling leaves, the blackened wood

The fire consuming all it could

A horrid smell, a bed of ash

On top of which the rest would crash

Despite it all, through charred remains

The heart would build back up again

We’re so similar to other animals in a sense that we ultimately run on instinct; perhaps to a lesser extent considering survival isn’t such a consuming task. The difference I suppose is in our ability to think so broadly. Not only that, but the influence that emotions have on our lives, in comparison to the wider animal kingdom. I’m not saying that other animals don’t feel emotion, because they clearly do, but I’ve gathered that what makes us particularly different is how our emotions and thoughts combine. This not only differentiates us from every other species, but also from each other. Some of us are truly lovely, while others are cold and manipulative depending generally on our life experiences and the emotions we developed throughout these particular events. I’m not necessarily referring to emotions like anger for example, because such is an emotion shared throughout the entire residence of Earth. Anger spurs us into action, yes, but it’s not so much a thought provoked reaction as it is instinctive, ultimately in place to keep us alive. If we’re treated roughly by a horrible person, we’ll likely get angry and stand up for ourselves- much in the same way a lion would fight another to glorify their standings. These instinctive emotions are in fact what make us so similar to other species. No, it’s the more developed emotions that distance us from everything else. Such emotions as pity, or spite. Emotions that are influenced entirely by our thoughts. My understanding is that these things are what differentiate us so much from the broader animal kingdom. Not simply the fact that our thought processes are more ‘developed’ or ‘logical’, because our ability to make things and speak to each other doesn’t make us intellectually superior to other animals. We’re good at doing what we do because we do it, just as how animals are good at doing what they do because they do it. We can say neither is more intelligent, because that would be biased, wouldn’t you say? Anyway, I’ve wandered from my initial point but I don’t think I should elaborate further. I’ve written quite a bit already, and I’m very tired (as always). I’m just hoping this made sense, and that you didn’t get lost somewhere amidst it all.

Noticed that I’ve been writing my fair share of negative cwap on this blog.. It wasn’t ever my intention, so I’m going to try to dwell away from that. It’s a shame because it’s really easy to get passionate when writing that sort of thing. Negativity and anger are so raw and powerful; so very easy to feel… so hard to resist.

But yeah, I haven’t been writing much lately so I don’t have anything to share :( I’ve been doing a lot of thinking though so I might sit my ass down some time soon and write… something

“The lion who fears the hunt will wither in the passing of time. Ridiculed by the pride, how could it possibly survive? I fear that those who fight the degeneration of humanity will similarly fade away.”

I haven’t really posted anything recently because I’ve fallen in love with Fire Emblem, and I find myself playing the games non-stop. I don’t even care all that much about a social life right now, I’m so addicted! It’s great because I used to just sit here and stare at Facebook or whatever when I wasn’t out  with friends (And I didn’t go out very often, mind you), so this kind of just fills the space and I’m so content with that :3

Yes, I think I am literally in love with a game franchise. Maybe it’s the characters… I don’t know!

I don’t want to go to my driving lesson tomorrow; I get way too nervous when I have someone looking over my shoulder, so to speak. It’s not as if I don’t like my instructor- I just don’t like the pressure I guess.

But I want my license so that cancels things out

Anonymous asked: With reference to the last anon thing, da fuck? you're not an emo at all! you're actually a really positive person. Unless they just mean emotional, which is pretty much everyone, you're just really amazing at expressing yourself :3

Aww, thank you so much! I never know how to reply to compliments but I should note that this message made my night :3
