The combination of late nights and music always seems to bring out my sentimental side. Tonight I am listening to “With You, Friends (Long Drive)” by Skrillex. For some reason this song makes me wonder about the things in life that are constant. I would assume that if you asked 10 people to list 10 things in their lives that they feel are constants you would get 2 or 3 that showed up on everyone’s list and the other 7 or 8 would probably vary pretty heavily. God, friends, family, laughter, and love, all of these seem pretty obvious to me…but I can’t help but wonder what other people would list. How do other people define constants…Do they feel the same way I do about them? I see a constant as more than a feeling or emotion about something. A constant, to me anyway, is something that is unwavering. No matter what happens in my life, no matter how good or bad my day is, millions and millions of other people in this world will go on with their lives. To me the only true constant in this world is the fact that we are all pretty insignificant, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
