Fascinated By Everything

Today I was looking up muscles just because they fascinate me. I like the strange names they have and seeing how they all have a purpose and place. I like the way the look when mapped out. Call me weird, but I do.

Last semester I drew skeletons over and over and over again (they were free models that wouldn't move while drawing them) and it was so cool! I never had the time to sit/stand and analyze what our bones look like until I had to draw them. Awesome stuff.

Communication also fascinates me. The reason why I want to learn other languages isn't so I can seem smart or I like one particular language, it's so I can slowly break down the barriers that we have because of miscommunication. Where words come from, how they've changed, how they are produced. It's all so incredible that I get a little giddy when I start talking about it.

I have been chided many times because of my simple fascination of everything. I've heard "You're so easily amused" or "There's nothing that doesn't interest you," to which I often reply cheerily, "I'd much rather be easily amused than never amused at all." And it's true. This life is to be enjoyed. No matter what your beliefs or non-beliefs are, you know it's so much easier to live when you genuinely enjoy everything around you.

There are so many wonders around us. Why not enjoy them?

Have you ever noticed how fast an ant moves? Incredible considering its size.

Have you ever watched the tip of you pen/pencil when writing? All of the sudden it seems like magic.

Think about it. We are surrounded by these things that we have grown so accustomed to, that we no longer consider them special.
