val·u·a·ble
   /ˈvælyuəbəl, -yəbəl/
–adjective
1.

3.
of considerable use, service, or importance: valuable information.


for some reason when i read this, i feel like this isn't what i mean when i say something is valuable.
but if i were going to try to describe it, i don't think i could do it any better than this dictionary definition.

sometimes i think there are so many things that are really valuable to me, whether it's material belongings or a friendship or a home or an email or a memory or a dollar. but i think, even if i lost everything i owned in a fire i wouldn't really be that upset. i mean it might be somewhat upsetting, but idk.

sometimes i want to let all the people in my life know how much they mean to me, but then i can't do it. i honestly don't think i understand what they mean to me. but a good chunk of people think that they mean as much to you as you express, which is rather unfortunate on my part.

right now i have 1050 won in my wallet, roughly a dollar. i've literally had to watch every single penny every day, and i planned and spent in a way so that this thursday night i would have this much, and i know exactly how i'm going to use it tomorrow. if someone gave me one dollar right now, that dollar would be so valuable, right?

there's a girl who goes to my school who basically just lost her whole family in a car accident.

how would it compare:
if i lost everything i physically owned, but still had my life and the lives of the people i love?
if i lost all of my memory but still had everything else and had these random people i didn't know that loved me?
if i lost all the people currently in my life but still had life and aspiration and a heart and god?
if i lost my physical life but was survived by people whom i love that are living a beautiful life?

"valuable" to me is something that means a lot.
sometimes i think everything is valuable. does that make sense?

  1. well eternal wise all we really own is our spiritual body, so that makes sense.
    everything is valuable, since they're all attachments outside of our spiritual bodies
    and the spiritual self can create gratefulness out of any situation
    these thoughts keep me going

  2. hmmm....
    if you lost your memories...
    Actually I just started watching an anime that has that situation in it. A girl is in an accident and her memory becomes deficient causing her to lose her memory every 13hrs.
    ..which made me think.
    All those people that you knew are now only pictures or words that you have to convince yourself into believing them to be true. Your entire life becomes... alone.

    ...
    "Werf"
    Synonym for 'valuable,' but typically describing something ghetto.
    "Damn that sucka stole my ride. Those wheels was werf, man!"
