Let's pretend for five seconds people give a shit about what other people say. One... Two... Three... Four... Five...
Okay, now that is out of the way, I want to make something clear; something most of you probably already know. We are microcosoms of this great unknown we call the universe. There have been people such as ourselves in the past and their will be clones of our identities in the future. We are born, we live, and we die. That is what happens. I cannot not stop it, you cannot stop it, "God" has planned for it to happen (some say), and at the end of the day, we should be okay with that.
Now, armed with this very basic, very straightforward information that makes all of us feel insignificant and diminutive, hear this: do not let it make you feel this way. So what the average person lives into their 70s? Who gives two shits about how little we are compared to the history and future of this universe? Why the fuck should that stop you from saying what you want and believing what you feel is right?
I know most of the shit I write and tweet and say have to do with meaningless, boring things. However, I would rather leave a mark that made people smile, laugh, cry, and even think rather than keep to myself and move along like the infamous tumbleweed.
Consider this... In the 23 (almost 24, hell yeah) years I have lived on this Earth my worldview has changed immensely. My understanding of human equality has grown, therefore changing my position on gay marriage. Reading-up on current events has become a daily to-do, hence my stance on bringing home troops and fighting wars for moral reasons has only strengthened. SO... amidst all the dick jokes, fuck you's, and girl troubles, I feel like I have molded well in my short, insignificant time here on this Earth.
I am not saying to rearrange your ideals. I do not want you to change with the next wave or season that comes. I just want you to know that if you do look introspectively or happen to feel you have grown in a positive way... that it is noticed. Although you are one out of billions, your experience could have a ripple effect, or a Butterfly Effect (good fucking movie), on someone else and another person and so forth.
The morals and characteristics you call your own make a difference whether you feel they do or not. That's really all.
Happy Friday.
