Thoughts
I've been doing some thinking lately. I've been thinking about a few things due to reading the journal of a really great friend of mine. There are a lot of things in there that would make anyone do some reconsidering of their beliefs.
I'm not exactly sure what my beliefs are, but I don't think it matters all that much. I'd like to believe that there's an afterlife, and that my mother rests there safely awaiting my arrival. It's a nice thought, but it's insignificant. It doesn't matter if there is an afterlife or not. All I need to know is that I keep her in my heart and in the back of my head constantly. Afterlife or not, I know she's always with me. Call it beliefs, call it faith, call it what you will, but I see it as a reminder that her life was not in vain. She's my strength. She's my drive. She is what makes me who I am even in death. She is also a reminder that even when I die, my impact will be heard. I will be remembered in some way.
It's a simple fact of life that everyone has someone who cares about them. I've never heard of someone just appearing with no family, friends, or surroundings in which they can become an accepted or valued part of. This fact alone gives meaning to anyone's existence. Anyone who disagrees, please tell me why, I'd like to here your reasoning.
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact"
"The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it"
-William James
I've found my place in life. I know why I'm here. I know what makes me happy. Now, I just need to live.
I love you Elise. I always will. You make me really happy. You make me feel like I have a place on this Earth.
That's all for now.
Cheer up folks.
Everything has meaning or it wouldn't exist.
