Forever is a lie

Some days ago, I was about to write a post about cynicism. It was never written due to my sleepiness. But there is another way to talk about it.
The word "forever" is an utter lie. Nothing can last forever. Neither humans, nor their creations. Not even the system. We see situations changing around us every day. The thing is, I think, to be aware of that. Sometimes, when you're in a situation, you think it's going to be for life. And then you get lazy and stop appreciating the little things that make it wonderful. (The only case that defies my concept are the eternally in love couples, but I'm mostly not refering to love here)
You probably start realizing thins when you're at the end of something, or even after the end. That nothing is for granted. That some things don't happen anymore, because we've grown past them.
You can't go to play every day and wake up in the afternoon, because you have a job. or because you're thriving to end your studies to get a job (you wish). Or because you've done it too much and from some point on, it loses it's point. And you miss the trips, the tips, the culture, the lazy days. Even though, they make you wiser.

Like a kid in a candy shop

Fascination is one of the things that become seldom when you grow up. Kids can be fascinated with anything. Cynic adults, on the other side, keep their blazé, I-know-everything look. It seems like, the more fascinated you are, the more creative you are.
And it happened to me. Today. You know, when you're in architecture school and all you learn about is theoretical knowledge, even when it's supposed not to be (don't misunderstand, I love things like art history), having to make something in real size that fuctions makes you helpless. And then, you go to people who have nothing to do with art history, but make very real things. I went to the smith shop today. I was happy like the kind in a candy shop. And there were some really kind people willing to explain to me everything that I'll never learn in architecture.
I even got a new ring (that's supposed to hold rubber but oh, who cares. Creativity, as we said)

Do you love yourself?

I've beeen absent for a long time, I know. For no specific reason. Maybe the fact that I haven't been shooting lately played a part in it.
The key word of the phase I'm going through is tired (I could even say exhausted, but that would be too much, I think). I don't know if I've gotten old, cold or if I'm more active than before, but the rare times that I sleep a lot, I wake up happy. And then came the hormones.
Women are peculiar creatures when it comes to hormones. They turn from waterfalls to monsters. And the damn hormones bring the issue of self-loathing.

Do you love yourself?

The question has no obvious answer. It depends on the day. It depends on how others appreciate you. It depends on the hormones we were discussing about before. But it is ESSENTIAL to one's well being.
When you loathe yourself, you should take a break. Because you're dangerous for yourself and anybody around you, or at leat the close ones. Take a break, breathe, go slow and appreciate yourself. Because if you don't, you might kill someone on the way. I hope not literally.  So, kit kat.

Random post again. But these are tough times.
