Topics #10 and #11

So the question remains: do we see mystery and wonder, and just walk on by?  Or is it hard for us to see?  If it is hard for us to see, if it really is hidden -- why?  Or, of course: is it just not there?

I see the mystery. I see the beauty. It's hard for most of us to see the beauty in things. It's not hidden -- it's right in front of our noses. Even in large cities, you can find beauty. Even buildings can be beautiful, and human-made art is beautiful in many cases. Beauty is always there.


Something that you could never live without.
Should animals be treated like humans, like those mega-pampered pooches?
The best summer of your life.


I'm going to change "Something that you could never live without" to "Someone you could never live without". Because I can. Live with it. Anyway, the person I could definitely never live without is my best friend, Griselda! We're the perfect pair. :P And she's there for me whenever I need it. Unfortunately, she doesn't pay attention enough. -.- I'll be walking right by her and she won't notice me. Ugh. Annoying. But anyway, it's hard to imagine what life would be like without her. I've slept over at her house more than I have anybody else's. :P And she'll listen to what I say and won't judge me (unless we're joking around or it's really really disturbing). She's also one of those people who maybe won't say a certain thing herself, but doesn't mind when you say it. For example, "Oh my God". She says that, but (no offense to anyone in this class who may have this view), I don't get it when people think it's taking God's name in vain. It's not; trust me. Anyway, off-topic mini-rant. But yeah, she's my absolute best friend, and I can't imagine what would've happened if I hadn't met her in 7th grade. She's a year older than I am, so if I had waited just a year's time, she would've been out and in high school, and I would've been left with no best friend (due to the fact that my other best friend moved away).
