Mathematically, pi proves that sometimes being irrational is okay. Even in such a cut-and-dry, structured science, a little irrationality is accepted. Sure, you cannot boil everything down to a formula or math equation, but that does not serve as a challenge for you to try. Instead, appreciate the spontaneity, randomness that comes with these emotions, just like your precious distribution of statistics. Logic and reasoning may seem to take you far, academically, as will your critical mind, but what success have you had outside of that vain? Emotional healing? None to speak of. Mental growth? Philosophically, no growth in a well being sense, arguably a deterioration. Social acceptance? Only as close as your calculated eyes allow people to get, before subconsciously pushing them away, a self-sabotage, as to avoid any deeper connections that could go wrong later as so many have. Instead of cynically over analyzing everything with your mind, why not just open up your heart, taking a blind leap of faith, even if that is deemed, "irrational"? If you refuse to open up and be intimate with others, why won't you at least trust me? I'm getting tired of having these conversations to a cold, unforgiving mirror.

Notes

Frame of reference, at college I basically have a full ride academic scholarship, in which I study math among other things. So I tend to see weird metaphors and correlations that don't always make sense, but hey, life doesn't seem to make sense either!
