Lol Mark, I feel silly now,
because;
1. I am a teenager.
2. I realize I have a lot to learn, and you all are older and may or may not be wiser.

And fatalism! Me a fatalist? Pre-determined? No way! I'm completely opposite. That's like, my religion in a sense lol, "Do good deeds, role model as if you were Jesus and do everything for him, and you will earn your rightful seat in the Kingdom of Heaven for eternity."
And that's how it will end. (you know unless you kill someone or something, apparently.)

I usually believe in everything until it is disproved, except Scientology. I'm open to many ideas, and love comprehending them and trying to understand it. I mean, this is a most interesting way of attempting to understand the universe, reality, and consciousness...

I sort of think 'phenomalistically.' Like a bundle of sense data to make up an object.

But me... If anything I believe in living in the moment, and many moments can change the path of my life. It's what's weird about me, I look around (Say America for example) and see all the typical working class. I mean I'm sure when they were younger they wanted to do something amazing or whatever, but they ended up in their quaint little lives, as do their neighbors and so on.

And it's just that sometimes I feel that even if I wanted something to be extraordinary about my own life, I will just somehow end up with a 9 to 5 and bills to pay (which I am not complaining about.)

I'm just someone who truly wants something amazing to happen,
but somewhere deep down inside, something is telling me that it can't. Not yet.
I'm a hopeful pessimist. I don't know how to explain it.

I get extremely fascinated when seeing pictures of thousands of other galaxies, and I think of all the possibilities. Or mention of inhabiting other planets. Even with ghost stories, pictures, possession and stuff like that.

I always seem to be looking for something out of the ordinary, to experience something amazing like that just because I don't want to end up like most people.

Oh and I would never let anything degrade my photography and writing!

For example, If I were to go to a war zone area in the middle east, and took a nice photograph of children playing a game, that means something. Lol it all comes around; I want to show people how beautiful and amazing any place can be despite what bad goes on there. With photography and writing, you can make grass by the side of a road seem wonderful.

Alright, I'm done ranting.

P.S. The only amazing thing I could probably convince myself into believing in would be Lucid Dreaming.
