Just a stray thought, have you ever been stuck in this situation where everybody expects something of you, whether it be something of a high expectation, or maybe a low expectation? I was just thinking about how there can be so much more to a person, but because of these expectations, or maybe because of a fear of being thought of as different, there is a whole different personality that becomes hidden, that could've been something beautiful?
I was thinking the other day, about how we live our lives as a culture, and I was kind of depressed about it. We're sitting here with our shows and games that we believe is such an important part of our lives, when there is huge swathes of life to live. I realized how I was living like that, stuck to the couch, and I don't want to do that anymore. I want to be able to look back on my life and describe it as "beautiful". One day I'm going to move somewhere quiet by the water where beautiful is right there every morning when I walk out my door. I want to live life constantly wondering about the many different wonders you can find in this world, and finding them out. I want to be different, although not nessicarily noticed for being so. I want to be different from the people who live their entire lives in their box of a job, home, TV. I want to travel. I want to travel to places with names that my friends and family can't pronounce, and then I'll correct them all the time. I want to be able to help people. I want to teach people things when they are unable to learn, I want to help people when they are unable to help themselves, and I want to help people live a beautiful life when they are unable to live. I want my kids to remember me as a bear-hug dad who knows how to laugh. I want to change the world for the better one day. There is so much more to life, and I want to live it.
