Time is a Strange thing.

2024/12/11 Edited to

Time is often perceived as a linear progression of moments, but its intricacies can create bewildering experiences. The concept of time varies across different cultures and philosophies, influencing how we interpret our lives. Philosophers like Henri Bergson argued that time is experienced subjectively, contrasting with the scientific view of time as an absolute dimension. In literature and art, time has been depicted in myriad ways—from the swift passage of time in poetry to the eternal moments captured in visual art. Popular culture often portrays time travel, challenging our understanding of cause and effect. Films like 'Interstellar' explore time dilation due to gravity, suggesting that time is malleable rather than fixed. Understanding the nuances of time can enhance our appreciation of life’s fleeting moments. It encourages mindfulness, prompting us to savor experiences rather than rush through them. In a fast-paced world, recognizing the strangeness of time can inspire a deeper connection to our present. Engage with this exploration of time and reflect on your own perception of it. How does time affect your memories, decisions, or even relationships? As you navigate your journey, consider the philosophical questions surrounding time and embrace its strangeness.

A good thing about praying is that it keeps you in touch with your own soul.

You cannot even know what it is you truly want or why it is actually yours until you do. You do strange and unholy things in this. Don't lose your souls to the devil. A birth certificate symbolizes birth right of kings and queens. Want to see mine? Go find yours.

gender identity is strange

I’ve labeled myself as nonbinary since 2021 at age 16. I primarily identified as feminine for the most part (they/them pronouns) but knew that I didn’t relate to the experience of being a woman. I always felt sort of different, almost neutral to the idea of gender because of certain ways I grew up
