Sometimes forcing yourself to make a conscious effort to pick a different route in life than what would be an engraved psychological path set by your subconscious based on your history can be really difficult and scary. I am trying to experiment with a bunch of such "breaking of rules" or "conscious deviations from my default behavior" in my personal, professional and social life right now. I am unsure if I even need to try to break the mold as I don't see it as that dysfunctional and hence I am trying it in small doses just to see how it all works out. If I find myself doing more damage to self than before, I may come to the conclusion that I was doing it right the first time around. But I do want to make sure that I have tried a bunch of other different ways just for the heck of it. I am going to call these short experiments "Quickies". Yup psychology is slutty.

While walking around the park looking for a location, we walked into a space and saw this girl in snowny white-pink with this beautiful face paint makeup and I just gravitated towards her physically but unconsciously. She saw me and the reaction was the same. She couldn't get over my shoes and I couldn't get over her makeup and while we both were still in the middle of our sentences admiring each others' looks, we just started hugging. 

Jackie asked me later, "Do you know her?" 

Me, "No. But I know her type"

Cosmic connections through art and expression of self is such a satisfying and strong force, it baffles me everytime I feel it.
