Socrates thought that no one could possibly be happy if they acted against their better judgement. And he who knows how to achieve happiness will do so. Therefore, he who knows what is right will do right. Because why would anybody choose to be unhappy?

The past seems to be catching up with me more often these days.

Sometimes I stop and think what life would have, could have been like if things turned out differently. I look back through old photos from yesteryear, knowing that being seventeen again will never be possible, but longing to be there once more none-the-less. I know at the time I called life's bluff by declaring those years a write-off, and that memories tend to garner a somewhat nostalgic view, but I can't help look back longingly at how easy everything seemed, way back when.

I take a trip down memory lane only to discover myself happy.

I guess you don't really take photo's on unhappy occasions, but seeing album upon album from high-school, and particularly all those laughs at maccas really only serves to highlight how unstable I was back then (for not seeing how good things really were). It's strange to see myself smiling comfortably next to someone I haven't even thought about in several years, wondering if I'm ever going to speak to them again.

The thing is, you make me happy. But I'm not about to go walking around like our mansion is built for more than the purpose of self guiding. I'm not sure why, but I'll always be a slightly different monkey, and as much as it would be convenient (and mother's day would have come oh so early) I could never see that happening. love flows, none-the-less.

I'm not sure why I told you anything. I almost regret it, but at the same time I am glad I did. You've got to know, daylight never stops this master from working his magic (lulz), and the harsh light of day usually helps to justify such situations. Today I can't. But who's to say anything?

Can't you see now why there's an apparent need to set other boundaries, because if this whole thing turns out with the wrong team winning the grand final, some of these Geelong players will be a little bit more than hurt.  Say what you will about things said, short letters written, I'm still all for playing it safe.
