Why does everyone always insist on complicating things? I'm just as guilty of it, yet I still don't understand. I'm not talking about anything in particular, just in general. Is it because we're bored, or is it because we don't believe that things could be as simple as they sometimes seem? I wish, sometimes, that life could just be a bunch of Jack Johnson songs strung together...one after another. And you know what, things were just as complicated when we were little, or at least they seemed to be then. We may have stressed over smaller issues, but that just means that we were better then at the whole complicating the simple things game. And we complicated everything, at least I do. Things that really don't matter, or things that could've been so simple if I would've just left them the way they were. Maybe it's curiosity. Maybe we simply wonder what things would be like if we pushed them just a little bit further.
But why do we always push things to the extreme? We can never just leave them at a little past simple. They always get to that complex and complicated point. Relationships, Family, Work, School, God, the Bible, Our Grocery Lists...Life. Sometimes I think so hard on such a simple subject that I twist it so much, it doesn't even resemble what it was in the first place.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to turn to the simple things for refuge from the complex. Things like daisies, long drives, and Jack Johnson. Hopefully, I'll never be able to twist those into things that I don't recognize...the day that I do, I might as well just give up.
