Today

I took the string off my wrist today. I put it on at the beginning to 8th grade for no particular reason. I saw it in our truck just lying around so I decided to tie it around my wrist. I thought I might take it off to signify some momentous event, like my first kiss or losing my virginity or something like that. But I left it on because I liked it. It didn’t wear out very quickly because its nylon. But recently it’s become kind of thin and covered with pink fuzz from my bed.
I was looking at it today thinking that I should take it off soon, and I thought about cutting it off at spring break, so there was something to correlate with when I took it off. I thought I might want to take it off at a specific turning point in my life. But then I decided that I was just going to take it off today, nothing special, its just time for it to no longer be on me. I want to keep the string, it means a lot to me, I'm not sure why, or what it means, but it's been on my wrist for six years. I guess in a way it kept me feeling individual, I always identified with the slightly awkward piece of string on my wrist. And getting really deep here, I think that I don’t need the reminder anymore, it will always be a part of me. My weird little piece of string that had no significance in the first place.
I know that is an incredibly intense analysis for a little piece of string but I've decided recently that instead of discrediting my extremely hippie thought I will acknowledge them and accept their probable validity.
The End.


And last night I had a dream that I was shot about 5 or 6 times, and I was with a group of people being chased and shot at by a majority. We were the minority and apparently they had a problem with us. So everyone had guns and would try and shoot at us if they saw us. I wish I could remember more of the dream. I was so afriad that it was real. I just starting thing, I know this is a dream, this is not real, but even when I was saying that in the dream i was afriad that it wasnt a dream.

A little string attaching you to the spiritual and it illuminates something within. I keep rocks that mean something to me. I can walk around the homestead and tell you where, with whom, how the relationship was going, and why certain rocks are there, what the weather was like. Keeps me connected with myself and others.

You had what I call a real nightmare. Yikes. Nice to wake up from that stuff.

I like your string theory. ;-) And you haven't even taken theoretical physics yet. http://superstringtheory.com/basics/basic4.html

Warms my heart to hear you say that :-)
