Chemistry, Connection and Care

What is it that makes a person who they are? Generalizing it to, "personality" doesn't seem finite enough.. I think a person is composed of a specific accumulation of morals, interests, physical being, general outlook, attitude, faith, who and how a person loves. A simple change in interests can send a person on a complete metamorphosis. There's changes that must happen. Infant to child. Child to teen. Teen to adult. The changes while in those stages though... the unnamed ones... Those are what have me confused. Personality flips. Maturity surges. It's as if we're all caterpillars... who then turn into butterflies... then turn right back around and transform back to caterpillars.

There's some part of me that believes that once a connection has been made between two people it will be there forever... it may change, it can grow or lessen but it will always be there. A true heart to heart binds people. Or so it feels. Another part of me wants to think that connections are only temporary. The actual being of a connection comes with the feeling of invincibility. That feeling of life-long friendship. Love. There's too many situations on my mind right now to connect this train of thought with anything specific... I wish I could because I'm sure this is hard to fallow. I guess I'm just throwing thoughts into space. Wishing more than I could possibly convey that someone, anyone hears what's in my heart. What I'm not saying.. What I simply cannot say. It feels important. It feels... overwhelming.

Sometimes I care too much for my situations with people. Sometimes I force myself to feel too little. It's impossible to find the right footing when everyone is going in different directions. I feel like the sun. Like I'm the stationary piece of this crazy set-up. Just watching as things go by. Moving on with so much of my own transformation, but oblivious to where others are going with theirs. I don't ask. How could I? The words are impossible to find. Yet somehow so impossible to not say. I want to know. I want to help if I can. I want to be a part of who my friends are becoming. The trick to growing up is changing into different people without losing the best parts of who you used to be. I'm willing to back off. I'm willing to stick around. Both seem to be impossible for some people to do. As I'm sure people must think of me... I just want to understand. I want to care for as many people as I can. My heart is working as hard as it can to keep the love it has... but dammit it doesn't know where to let it's emotions land.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy with my life. I'm enjoying every day. But I can enjoy life and hurt at the same time.. this is a full summer' worth of thought, finally thrown out into a jumble of mismatched, poorly chosen words... What does it matter. It's a blog.

When the pope starts reading my blog it'll get better. When Obama starts reading my blog I'll make more sense. When Jesus becomes a "follower" of my blog I'll think clearer... And when pigs ice skate on the ceiling of hell I'll finally get a good nights rest.
