Oh, I am Anti-Title Now
Since this is a LIVE journal I will write about my life and what I
think about this and how I live and how sometimes I am happy to be
alive and sometimes it flat out sucks and what I live for and what it
means and how bad I am at living it, for the most part. But first
I must say that I feel rather sorry telling this to my journal because
it never had a shot at being alive, and the only aspects of life it
picks up on are the ones I talk about on here. So I just want to
say, livejournal, that I am sorry if my perspective gives you a bad
taste in your mouth, but I think that you can't appriciate the truly
amazing moments in life if they're not standing next to the moments
you've spent whith with your eyes closed and your hands over your ears
waiting for them to end. Which reminds me of my
pleasedisregardthis THEORY:
Emotional Relativism.
Everyting makes you feel how you feel because of something that has already happened, this is why EVERY experience you have is worth having. In short: The worse the bad days are, the better the good days. And one more thing, emotional intensity causes art. Therefore, there is art for every experience, and this WILL save your life.
By the way, music IS my life and it influences me like nothing else. In some ways this is good because people don't affect my interests, beliefs, or personality very much, however they do cause all the negative experieces in my life. I guess, journal, what I am saying is that there are a selected amount of people I have enjoyed in my seventeen years. I've met too many people who don't know who they are, and it frustrates me becasue it's not that hard to look at yourself, know how you feel, and know what you love. I think they comprimise some things that are important to them in order to live a certain lifestyle with a certain group of people. In other words, people try to be to much like other people and... why would they want to do that? The most amazing thing is a person who can think for themself despite the strong opinions being thrown at them in everyday life. I have never met anyone with the exact same views and opinions as me, and this is perfectly fine. (I don't believe in the art of shoving your opinions down someone's throat). Part of being at peace with yourself is knowing how you feel and not having to force it on other people. This, obviously, will result in an external peace with others.
I am very closed-minded about some things.
And I think that this is alright.
Becaue I know what I belive
and what I love
and who I am
and I think that these three things should not be comprimised by an open mind.
Oh, I am also very closed-minded about music---this I just can't help. I have listened to AMAZING bands and wonderful music, so if I don't like it immediately I usually don't give it a chance. I feel like I shouldn't waste my time on something that doesn't completely change the way I feel (which usually happens when you experience a great band). This is something I should work on. I should. But I probablly won't.
This has gone on too long. I will make it Chapter One: An Introduction.
