Help!
By The Beatles

so what's new with me? hmm... how about some things i've noticed lately:

• i love watching birds flying while i'm listening to music, driving in my car. they always seem to be flying along with what i'm hearing, and our movement is somehow coordinated.


• music is amazing amazing amazing perfection. sometime soon, do this: pick out some music you already think you love. turn it on. listen. then imagine a world in which it didn't exist. imagine that you'd never heard anything like it. then return to the music and its incredible perfect existence. it just might blow your mind.


• creativity and cognition suffer under long-term stress. last week, i was experiencing a reawakening of sorts. it was really something. i hope i can get back there again soon.


• there was a real reason i was in Soma. i've kinda been overwhelmed with these urges to dance lately. i don't know how many people must think i'm nuts, seeing me move my arms in strange, stunted ways while trapped in the car.


• imaginary therapy groups are a hilarious idea.


• finding a balance between fulfilling your own needs and fulfilling the needs of others is a difficult process for anyone who values selflessness, but it's something we all must do.


• the capacity of the individual for change and growth is stunning.


• there are a lot of people in my life who probably have no real idea just how much i admire them. maybe i should try to let them know, but i'm never quite sure how they'd react.
