There is nothing too ordinary about this experience of living. Practically extraordinary in fact! There will be some repetition, but the immense incomprehensibility of it all is nothing short of spectacular. No need to be fearing the unknown, don't worry about those things you can't control.
Live for living's sake.

Everyone is special, as we are as humans altogether. I think to make something out of my talents in convergence to this realm. To bring my specialty (as well as letting others bring theirs) into the game, to keep the ball go round.

Adventure, romance, friendship, and music. These are the few things in life that feel satisfying to me, regardless of what anyone else says I will make adventures. I really am sick of the generation I've grown up in. Right now I'm finishing my last year of highschool, and when I walk down the hallways all I see around me is sheep. It truly makes me wonder if anyone ever stops to question everything around them, or even appreciate it. They're all concerned with how they look, or the drama between their friends. Really, who gives a fuck? In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. For example today I missed a question on an assignment, but I reassured my teacher with, "Don't worry, be happy. a missed question is nothing to stress over. "
It's the little things that matter.

Are you leaving for school this weekend?
speaking of computer screens, I tried messing around with my computer's layout this past week...what a pain in the ass. It certainly looks a lot cooler, but it also seems to have slowed down my system. Oh well.
I discovered an area of the woods nearby that looks straight out of Jurassic park or something...it's awesome! Yeah this weekend most likely.

Haha, I know exactly the area you mean. I always imagine a pack of raptors running down the hill or pterodactyls flying when I'm there.
Anyway, dang. I'm coming home for the weekend but I'll be here at school all week... Guess there's no chance of hanging out.
