I love trinkets. They're so pretty. And random, but can have so much meaning.
And I love Hot Topic. The have such cool random shit.
I keep getting called emo even though I dress grunge and don't listen to any emo music at all. But barely any grunge bands lol.
I love rain. I love fall. I love stickers. I love sleeping. I love food.

And trinkets. Just boxes of beads, coins, jewelry, little rubber things in the shapes of food, animals, and other stuff, plastic ducks, toys. Paper I find on the floor of train stations. Bottle caps I find in the rain. Scarfs from my traveling aunts. German jewelry from my Grandpa. Old pieces of rusty metal my dad finds. Things my best friend gives me, letters they write to me. I love all that shit and I don't know why.

I just find life so magical and wonderful sometimes. It can be horrible and evil too, but there's also so many things that people just won't see.
You can't see everything. There will always be things out of your reach. 99% of things in the world, you will never see or know. There are so many facts you will never learn, so many places you will never visit, so many books you will never read. So many lives of others you will never know.

Do you ever walk past a stranger on a street and think, "Who are they?" They have a whole timeline apart from yours. Or you two could have even met before and never knew. They have done things and accomplished so much in their own way. Wither their accomplishments are starting their own business, large or small, or becoming a famous actor, or starting a family, wither that family be them and a cat, or a large nuclear family with lots of children. Yet you'll never know what that person is like. You could want to know more, but you two have already brushed past, and will probably never meet again. Or you could, and impact each others' lives more heavily than you could believe.

Time is so limited and confined.
(I'm an atheist so this next paragraph could argue with others' beliefs, these were just the beliefs I was raised on. Feel free to skip)
I've always marveled at all humans have done, good and bad.
Everything living today. Coming from (the possiblity, the theory, of) the Big Bang. Our sun came along, and planet Earth formed.
Living species started out as just bacteria, then evolved. We evolved from bacteria, to all sorts of creatures, branching off and species coming and going.

And humans came along. We evolved to stand upright, make tools, build shelter and hunt. We made clothing and all sorts of things, buildings and empires. Weapons of war and medicine that can save lives. Humans created technology of all sorts. Technology isn't just phones, televisions, radios, computers, all that. Its tools that help us. The invention of the wheel, forever ago, to the device you are reading these words on. Oh, and six thousand plus languages. So many different words around the globe that can all refer to the same thing. So many beautiful languages, and some are dying. And humans found a way to make it to the moon, and send robots to other planets. We keep advancing, and falling back in time (rich old cishet white men politicians I'm looking at you).
Humans can be beautiful. But some choose not be and hurt others and the world.
