We Are Just All Light And Space

I met a girl online and we met at a park in the Valley. I think she is deeply depressed and tells me she doesn't sleep well. I tend to get real philosophical at damaged people. Which doesn't resonate, since most deeply scarred people only hear what they want to hear. And probably heard it all.
I posited that we are all just light and illusion. In other words, if there was no sun and we all lived in darkness, how do we know we even exist. Our eyes show our brain how to react. If you have this level of sadness, I feel like we should be reminded that it is also all so temporary. That one day you may need to reset. And also, all the beauty that pain has given you or made you will need to start over. And then you may have to relive different kind of pain. Different, but same.

Yeah, pretty deep for having first met. But she seemed like she has been searching for answers. None of what I said really resonated, of course. She seemed to get defensive that these philosophies don't ring true to her. That she embraces her past because she does appreciate who she is now. I doubt that. I think she may say she's accepted past slights, but she wears it into battle like a lead weight.
We all do this, so it's hard not to be upset. But life is so temporary.
The saying "we are on borrowed time" rings so true now. Because the time we have does not belong to us. It will be recycled.

So in terms of the film industry, if you spend a great deal of time wondering if this is the profession for you, you are approaching it wrong. If you work by instinct and common sense, you go far. The logic makes zero sense, so don't bother. But you will need to accept a few truths. And not just say you are okay to move forward, but actually feel okay to move forward. Life is one big obstacle after another (or sometimes small ones). We need to step ahead. But you know, if you research old Hollywood (as you should), you realize we are all temporary here. The spirit haunts this place. I live in Jane Russell's old compound. She walked these grounds at one point. Vibrant, beautiful and alive. And rumor had it Marilyn Monroe had as well. These are "sacred" grounds for Hollywood. But again, we are just light and space. My idea of both these beautiful women are just my eyes seeing and processing emotions. And then turning them to memories. When they went, other things occupied that space.

Writer Stephen King taps into these themes repeatedly...memories. And what they can do to weigh you down.

If you consider that objects don't exist unless light and space shows you they do, you tend to live a more free life. Regard things, such as emotions, as very temporary. That the one day we're upset at someone, process what that really means. And that we are solid particles with energy that attempts to form electrons into a physical response as hate or anger.

By processing it in these scientific terms, it's very difficult to be anything but inquisitive towards society.
Be curious about light and space when it comes to moving along in this life.
