second post as discussion leader, and no there will not be a third.

The sense of familiarity.

Just recently I purchased contacts because I have really bad vision and I was just tired of seeing through a set of frames, but even now, when nothing is on my face, I still have a tendency to make the motion of pushing up my glasses. It just makes me smile, because even if no one was there to see my blunder, I cant help but laugh at the idea of familiarity. During the day I wear contacts for quite a few hours and I am completely adjusted but it is still puzzling to notice how unconsciously I still find the need to make sure that everything is set in it's place. It just makes you wonder how your body processes the habits you've adopted and even if circumstances have changed, your body still does what it's familiar with, even if it has your mental say so or not.
It just interests me how the two connect, your mental self and your physical one. How everything just works without manually turning on a battery or having the set initiative to breathe or even have to control when your heart pumps blood through your veins. How our bodies just go is truly remarkable and it's so sad seeing how we all mistreat the lovely things we have been given to use. I mean there are so many reasons why we have adjusted our bodies to intake everything and suffer rather than truly do our part and nurture them; we just all need to reread the manual. We truly do, I feel, in order for us all to make peace with our bodies, we need to treat them as if they are machines practically. Put good in, in order to get good out, I mean we do not put diesel fuel into an automatic, I mean do you want your car to blow up in flames? Do we want to have that sudden break down of our bodies because we aren't taking the necessary time to have them grow properly? Tell me what you think, I'd love to know whether or not you share my opinion, or if you need me to elaborate more because I could talk for days on this subject. Take care, and good luck with all your midterms everyone!
