Basically everyone knows what fractals are. We may not know the EXACT definition but we know it applies to twisting and warping colors into other colors, causing designs in the twists and turns. Example below:
Whether certain images are intended is not known but there are definite patterns and pictures in the blend. Now on to the point of this blog in particular. Why do I think about fractals a lot? Because I often feel just like one. Like my life was made from a little of this...a little of that. Then taken and mixed and blended to form something much more than meets the eye.
To the person who just takes a glance they see the obvious things. Height, weight, hair color, etc. To the person who stops and takes a closer look there are designs, ideas, thoughts, emotions, SUBSTANCE to what they see because they take the time to see it.
Those are the people I enjoy meeting. People who actually WANT to take the time to see what lies underneath it all. Those are the people one can never forget. Those are the kinds of people who often see things in you that you do not.
They see beauty in randomness. They see it in irregularity. They see it in something that makes no sense to someone else. They see it in mis-shapen, out of sorts, disheveled, crooked, warped lines. That is where all this ties in. The people that see the beauty in ME despite all the things I mentioned above. Why can they see those things in me? I guess, because they love me. For whatever reason. They see past all the flaws, mistakes, fuck-ups...WHATEVER...to see what lies underneath. The part of me that that was taken and twisted and warped into something...beautiful. I wish I could see myself the way they do.
But everyone's view of a fractal is different.
