Hi, I'm a Hermit!

Not long ago, I had great discussion with a great friend of mine that I'd like to share with you guys (or try to at least, cuz by the end of it we were rather drunk :D).

I was hanging out with some friends, and they were hanging out with theirs. We were spread around a couple of tables, drinking and chatting, so the mood was overall fine. But, I never really clicked with my friends friends. It never happened and its something that cant be forced. Luckily, the one great friend I mentioned called. He had been walking alone for a while. I asked: "why?" He said he needed it. "Is everything ok?". "Yup. What? You never spent some time just for yourself, to think or feel inspired?".

Later, after he arrived, we continued that conversation. We joked about how Capricorns like to spend time alone, and since we both have that sign it must be true (we were just poking fun at a girl in our group who takes astrology REALLY seriously). We joked that we were feeling some unnamed feeling that encouraged us to have our moments of solitude... but that was not a joke at all. That IS what I feel when I need to be alone. Like some energy that can only be obtained if I am by myself. But energy for what? Well, we discussed that too. Relaxation is a given, but insights about our lives and inspiration for whatever we feel the need are what we benefit the most out of these lonely periods.

SO, where am I going with this?? No clue! I guess I wanted to see who else feels this way as, besides it being interesting to know that you do, its something that, in my opinion, is beneficial for your life.

Mind "Yuck"

Yes, you know what I meant! Anyway, there are some kinds of mind"yuck's", but the ones I wanted to discuss were those when your mind tries to wrap around an idea or thought.

If you never had one, its a great experience! I've been trying, for 5 minutes now, to describe it... but my patience ran out and, amazingly, Google gave me the most exact description ever! By ReMecca:

"Thoughts so divine and perfect, they could almost be described as carnal. They excite you, they turn you on, they make you think beyond your present beliefs, they make you change your panties."

Indeed.

SO, Art in general is great at achieving this for obvious reasons. When you saw The Matrix didn't you think: "wait, am I in The Matrix?!!". But that mind"yuck" is small time... So, I suggest you watch The Fountain, as it was the last one that really "yucked" me. It "yucked" me so hard!
