Who am I? Pieces of you? Pieces of society? But who am I? Can I ever be trully myself? I find myself saying things I heard another person say. so if it's not somthing I'd say why do I say it? and if i say nothing that isnt a tuly origional thought of my own will I ever speak a word? These things make me sad. I want to be me, without your words and your goofy idiosyncracies, but I don't know what are my own. And thus I find myself beleiving thus I am... Nothing.

Latley I been studying Nietzsche in one of my classes and as I begin to look deper into who he was and what he wrote of I find myself studying The Overman. And now, i'm frusterated because everything the overman seems to be, is what we as ppl should strive to be, and greatly resembles the philosophy we students experienced in Mr. X's class. A man who refuses to beleive Good/Bad by rejecting Noble's morality but also rejects christian morality of Good/Evil. A person with destinctive triats, those of : Strength and resilience. those who are intellectually adventurous. those who demand harshly of themselves. The Overman must be willing to accept that all of his/her conviction may infact in the end be false. (I can go into more detail about the overman another time but it doesnt really matter to u).

And now I have questions for ppl. questions I never even thought to ask you and questions you won't be able to truly answer. questions i am strugling to find the answer to. "Why" becomes my primary focus. And "why" is driving me to silence.
