I see things Crystal clear

Note: Before continuing with this post I must say that yes, I will continue to use that pun (the one in the title)
            As a random human being with a lot in her mind, seeing through my eyes is a whole new experience. The thing is that I get so used to my thoughts that I often wonder how other people can live without them. That’s why today I want you to know what it feels like to think like me.
            Usually when I am walking down the university I am usually thinking about how no one notices anything. I’m a believer. I believe God created nature and everything so we could enjoy it and it is a shame that we are almost never able to do that. It is sad that I walk and all I see is indifference. The university has taught me some things and one among them is the fact that no one cares about anyone; no one gives a damn of what you do with your life. People are so submersed in their own lives that they fail to stop and recognize that we are all living together in this society and what happens to another person’s life can possibly affect us in a point of our lives.
            Anyways, back to what I was talking about. When I was reading “On looking”, something that caught my attention is the part when the author says that some people see things according to their professions or what they do. I can identify myself with that because it is something I usually do. I love chemistry and that I am studying at the university. When I see things as I walk I start thinking about how they are composed, how their molecules and particles move and how would it be possible to alter their composition. It also happens to me when I am watching The Flash series. I always try to physically explain every impossible thing that happens in the show. I must admit that thinking like that is pretty amazing.
            Sometimes, when I am really overwhelmed with work, projects and responsibilities I go outside and stare at the mountains. I live in a rural place and at the very end of the street there stands a big mountain, just as if it had been dropped from the sky and fell there. It brings me so much calmness and each time I look at it I think about how everyone has so much to do and life passes by and we are never able to enjoy the little and most simple things in life.

            The other time that I am not thinking the ways I mentioned before are my “what if” moments. I see a thing and I just imagine how it would be if it was made or if it looked any other way different than the actual way it is. Those are the moments I am able to use my imagination and well, it is good to use it because what is not used atrophies and I do not want that for my imagination. Anyways, so now dear reader you have an idea of the way I think. Now, go back to your world and I will go back to my wonderful chemical world.

  1. Do you think your views differ much from how other people in your position view things/places?

  2. I do believe people take things for granted such like nature, and I don't think it's bad we as people all see things differently, since it's beautiful how unique every person perspective can be.

  3. Hello Crystal! I like how you express that whenever you feel stressed you go out and look at the mountains. Many people take for granted the beauty of what our island has to offer us and the type of calmness that can be gained from it...

  5. People see things according to their professions. I wish this could shine a light on what my future profession should be! Aside from that, I would say that we as humans tend to create a perfect vision of things with our imagination. As to how this could relate, imagination is a complex thing that comes from experience. And all this is tied with what we like to do. So, I guess having a perspective is all about our imagination.
