a think

My friends are watching Robin Hood, and I was thinking to myself, "wow it would be scary to live then." I often think about how I would love to have lived in the past, back in Jane Austen's times or during the beginning of America, but I realize it must have been incredibly scary. Then again, people would know the social norms and know the corruption and how to live around it. But then, where I live now is probably pretty scary too. And then I was thinking, or rather, am thinking, that people haven't change so much. Our hearts are the same. Or maybe over the years they've weakened. But we're still people. I've been talking with people about how men are not fully men and women are not fully women, not like we're meant to be. We were talking in the context of American men and women, like maybe this is just some facade, we pretend that we know what it means to be men or to be women, but do we? I don't think we've got it. In different cultures, the way women and men act are so diffferent. So there's my incoherent ramble for the day. I might add more. What do you think?

also, things I am thankful for today:

the apple I ate earlier

and the cookie

the cold weather

getting to sleep in

my warm bed that is up high and feels like a nest

tomorrow being Sunday

shampoo

warm socks
