Sneaky peek or Heart wide open?

I always giggle when i see a guy having a sneaky peek at a pretty girl or vise versa. Either on the street/bus/tube/ferry, we've all done it and it's pretty enjoyable. Question is, when did we have to stop showing others that we find them interesting?

Or maybe a better question would be:
What came first the interest or the rejection?

We've all been rejected in some way and unfortunately alot of us do not take what we can from it and instead harden and become cold (good or bad that's up to you). It's a damn shame the she never wanted him or that he cheated on her but in all we live and learn or do not live at all.

But then there comes expressing to those you know, love and trust. Some can, some cant. I've been told many times that i'm 'distant' but then i've also expressed my feeling to those close to me and recieved uncomfortable reactions, leading me to believe the reason we were so close is that i may be quite distant and that they simply enjoy and find comfort in not having to 'deal with all that stuff'.

Those who demand attension and reassurance that you care... well i've never got on with those people. Forced is fake and silence does NOT mean you dont care.
The very fact in can sit on the sofa next to someone without the need to speak should tell them something and to be honest i do not really feel the need to entertain their insecurity if they cannot see that.... Thoughts anyone?

We’re all geeks in some way

I love loving things. I’m not too cool to get excited when my favourite band is coming to my city & am confident enough to laugh with others at myself for being so in to and particular about certain things... Admittedly this does sometimes result in quite a few conversations ending with blank faces. Lol!

Maybe you know all the words to Annie the musical, maybe you can identify every part of an engine or maybe you simply collect comics. Whatever it is keep it up as remember without intrigue we are stagnant & without detail we are undefined.

Intro

I’d like to open with an intro or a proposal, if you will, on what the idea of this blog is based upon. I intend to explore something which I have given some thought to time to time but cannot be easily defined. An idea that there is a fundamental level at which we all find a content state of being or as some may loosely state - ‘happiness’. Philosophers have debated over what happiness actually is for a long while and one of the most memorable quotes I’ve read to date is

“Happiness is an activity of the soul in accords to the perfect virtue” –Aristotle,

The key word her being “activity”, so not a place, object or possession. But all that aside my intension is to look at those ‘things’ in this world which transport us to that place of momentary calm and clarity (please note some of these 'things' themselves may not necessarily be a clam or clear activity but interesting to find still, for me at least, does something that not many other things can do).

I’m not in the habit or have any interest in stating things I know nothing of so will comment on experience in the forms of places, spaces and people I have encountered.

Hope you enjoy or at least find this mildly interesting.
