dearest darling disappointments

Two past disappointing discoveries that I've made or were made known to me:

(ONE) That John Mayer was a pothead.
I think I was disappointed because I thought he was so musically and lyrically talented ( I still do) and I could listen to his albums over and over and over again (though not the newest one for some odd reason). To hear that his inspiration came while high, made me sad for some reason. Almost as if it wasn't his own. But I still like his music a lot and I still love listening to it.

(TWO) That some of the most beautiful sunsets we see today are because of all the chemicals we dump into the air -_-
I love love love sunsets. I especially love watching them. I remember throughout junior high and high school after coming home from school, I would relax and eat some snacks and then try to do some homework then I would go outside and watch the sun set behind the house across the street. I loved that time of day,(I'm also a pretty big romantic, as in, not the lovey dovey kind but the daydreaming kind) so when I was told that it was because of chemicals that were being dumped in the air (and I'm suspecting not very good chemicals) it made me sad because I realized that people that lived long before us never saw it and it made me feel as if it wasn't part of God's creation. Though, now that I think about it, only God could turn something crappy and something bad that we did into something so beautiful that we can enjoy.
