Learning

It strange hw we can live in contradictions. one minute i am floored by the beauty of this consumerist world and wanna buy this and tht and then u c some1 a kid maybe looking longingly at the ice cream u r having or wishing she had a life like yours, or an elderly whose eyes tell u abt the world she's cn, a woman carrying half her weight on her head thinking of hw she's gonna feed her family. u stop and look and sometimes even think abt it for a while, sometimes even the day after and then the person fades away and u r back to ur world where ur thoughts r predominated with buying (and a news paper article told me we women think as much abt shopping as men abt sex...so hopefully u guys can understand our complusion a bt better).

Its all hapening around u and dont knw wht to do. As a kid u read abt fairies and hw with a flick from the magic wand wud make all wrong right, u and i dont hav tht wand, no one does. its hard to accept tht u cant change things, thought i was getting there i.e learning to accept my limitations but then u c face in the crowd tht touches ur heart nd whoooshhh goes all ur progress......
