The Life of Me

In my opinion, the world isn't in a great place right now. I believe that abortion, homosexuality, premarital sex, drugs, and a lot of other popular things are wrong. Unfortunately, as I just said, those things are popular, which would put me and my opinion in the minority. Which means that there's pretty much nothing I can do to stop these things on my own at the moment. Of course, I pray that they'll stop, but God seems to have a different plan than the one I'd prefer, so... I'll just wait.

But I have so many opinions and arguments for why these things are wrong, but there are two big problems: 1) I can never seem to put them into writing well, and 2) I have no way of being heard. Everybody's always saying, "Be careful what you put on the internet." But it seems that I could really put whatever I wanted on here, and nobody would care, because as far as I know, nobody's reading this.

I have so much to say, even not about all these problems in the world. Just about random things, you know? Like my last post, about how other people actually have feelings? I had so much more to say in there, but I couldn't seem to get it all into writing--plus the post would've gotten way too long.

And then there's the fact that not everybody thinks like me, and shares my beliefs. I've never had any reason to be tempted to have sex, so I tend to automatically assume it's easy for everyone to resist, but quite frankly, it's not.

You know that moment when you're in the shower contemplating your life, and you realize all these incredible, deep things, and you want to tell the world, but as soon as you get out of the shower, it all seems to be less amazing, and there's really no point in sharing any of it? (The shower is a magical place where I've come up with every amazing idea I've ever had. I honestly believe that the water seeps into your brain and feeds you deep thoughts and mind-blowing existential ideas.) That happened to me today.

But then, sometimes you're contemplating your life, and you realize some sad stuff... I've been noticing lately that my life is becoming rather monotonous. I never have any really exciting things happen to me, and I'm at this awkward age where I'm too young and poor to do really awesome, exciting stuff, but I'm too old to do all that fun stuff kids get to do. Do you ever wish you could go back in time, and be a little kid again? I do. I do that a lot, actually. I'm nearly certain everybody does. It sucks, because nobody ever takes advantage of their current stage of life. We're constantly looking forward to the next step, and we always realize too late that we had it so good back then. It's rather sad. And we always regret having taken things for granted, but we never seem to learn from it.

Well, on that somewhat depressing note...
