Et en Arcadia ergo

I think I have finished finding things for my room finally. I really need to stop buying things before I go broke anyway. This morning I went out with one of my friends (Madison) for breakfast. Tomorrow is her sisters wedding, and she wanted to warn me that her sister is four months along with a little girl so I wasn't wondering when I saw her. I'm babysitting for the wedding. I don't know what it is about this month, but it seems like everyone's either getting together or breaking up. That seems to happen sometimes, and I really wish I understood it, but like if you watch on facebook, it always happens all at once that people break up or get together. I mean not always, but a lot of the time. It makes me wonder if there's something in the air. I mean enough religions that I have been looking at believe that everything and everyone are connected either by energy or by spirit, and there's enough evidence out there that there is some sort of collective unconscious that we haven't been able to fully tap into. We're all such social creatures, I don't think we're completely able to separate ourselves even when we try to. I know I've been able to tell things about people I shouldn't have, and maybe that doesn't mean anything, but I choose to believe it does.

I feel like I should say something about my title. "And in Arcadia I am" It's the title of a painting, and people have taken it to mean that even in the most perfect of places there is still death. A rather morbid topic I know, but last night my friends and I were talking about death last night, and I've never been afraid of death. I don't understand why people spend so much of their lives fearing the unavoidable. I suppose because people feel like they need to be in control, but if there's something you don't even have the slightest chance of effecting, I see no reason to worry about it. There's something very calming about the idea of death. Not saying I would like to be dead anytime soon, but there is at least one constant. And without mortality, I don't think life would be nearly as important to us.
