Food for Thought: Confusion

Confusion. It's a state of the mind. It's a befuddling element. It's a word that is as hard to define as it is to understand. It is by all means something that both the heart and the mind find hard to grasp. Are you confused? I believe we all are. At some point and in some way, we are struck with bewilderment.

As I write this, a lot of things are going through my head and all I want is to lie on the grass with my hands in my chest and my eyes fixated on the stars. There is something so calming about it. I guess oblivion isn't so bad after all. It relieves you of life's traumas. It takes away the pain and the problems. It makes you forget. But would that really be worth it if you have to disremember the good ones that come with it? I guess everyone's life is a mess at some point. Mine included. At least in that way we're all even. But life is complex and for some weird way, that complexity gives us the thrill of the ride. You'll never get the adrenaline of the highs unless you've experienced the depression of the lows. It's like a roller coaster. Life is a huge roller coaster. The question is would you let the lows stifle the highs? Will you let confusion drown you? Don't.

I guess there are times when you have to admit to yourself that you are lost, baffled, mystified and perplexed. You have to accept that your mind is filled with all sort of things and that in cases such as these, you have to trust your heart. Sometimes you have to believe in gut feel. I'm not saying that we all have to leave our logical-analysis-OCD-stricken self for good (for me at least). What I want to say is that maybe it's about time to be comfortable trusting our heart and instincts, don't you think?
