Sometimes I think that maybe this whole "recession" thing is a blessing. Maybe if people didn't have so much money to throw away on useless crap, maybe if we were forced to focus on THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER, maybe we could start to heal the world. It genuinely frightens me, how superficial people can be. How wealth oriented we are. How bowled over we are by expensive, plastic-y things. I don't want to be like that. Ever. Sometimes I'm secretly glad that I'm broke because I think if I weren't, I would also be obsessed with obtaining plastic-y brand-name things. Actually, I know I would. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I think I'd rather be focused on figuring out how to pay my rent, than collecting the newest, most expensive, fanciest whatever. And yet, I also don't want the world to become a dystopia. No, no. I want the world to be like a hippie commune: Over-flowing with love and happiness, laughter and dancing.<BR/><BR/>I don't know when to shut up, do I?A Serious Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413111023521355084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242292301742141178.post-35573736330708720962008-10-19T10:03:00.000-07:002008-10-19T10:03:00.000-07:00Orwell is brilliant.

Probably not a week of my life has gone by that I haven't thought about 1984 or Animal Farm. It's incredible how parables written in the 1940s, can still be so topical today, eh?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939742529506287428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242292301742141178.post-1901467496042643792008-10-18T23:35:00.000-07:002008-10-18T23:35:00.000-07:00Kate, the world is okay.Your writing gives me hope...Kate, the world is okay.<BR/><BR/>Your writing gives me hope for the future!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426877328674191947noreply@blogger.com
