I think I like it.

19; going to school to become an elementary school level art teacher. I live on exploring, traveling, dreaming, and nature. My page is just filled with everything that I like. Or think I like.
cogenesis: “At this point, people can go in two directions. There’s one group of people who say, ‘alright, let’s live the uncalculated life, let’s not make any plans’ and before you know, they’re living on a filthy pad and scrounging around and living on petty thievery and so on. This is the usual thing. This is gone into it the wrong way.“The first thing to do is, just as I said, whether you like it or not and whether you know it or not, the relationship between you and the environment is always one that is harmonious. So in the same way, you are always living the uncalculated life. And so first off you must realize that you are always doing it, and what you call your calculations, the things you did were funny little rationalizations.“In other words, your ego has about as much control over what goes on as a child sitting next to his father in a car with a plastic steering wheel which is turning the car the way daddy drives it. Because, as I pointed out, most of the functions going on in and around you, the circumstances of life, having nothing to do with your ego at all.“So begin on the basis not of saying, ‘I shall now live the spontaneous and improvident and noncalculating style of life,’ but realizing you’ve always done that, only you rationalized that you didn’t.”Alan Watts
