Appreciation of Aesthetics

Although I'm currently feeling 'fucktastic', I've decided to continue seeing a counselor.

Something I figured out yesterday, was that I am very drawn to aesthetics, either tangible or intangible. I think originality counts a lot towards my valuation of an object. I respect the effort, regardless of the so-called (and relative) success of the piece.

Also, perspectives matter. The human mind is intrinsically myopic. Sometime or another we always fail to put ourselves in another's shoes. If you can get glasses and contacts to fix your eyes, why shouldn't you try to fix your perspective too?

Sidenote:
Can you be TOO anti-mainstream for your own good? At which point will it become detrimental instead of "unique" and "interesting"?

The other day Marc asked if I still considered myself a youth.
I said no.
I think my days of being a youth ended when I graduated from HS.
That was almost 4 years ago.
Why should I want to go back?
I had the best time of my life.
And now I gotta move on to other things.
