effective
Have no fear, i haven't disappeared, i just haven't had time to breath, let alone eat. I had a thought the other day that's been bugging me, so i'm putting it up here so it can bug you guys as well. We've probably all seen the Butterfly Effect. If you haven't, the butterfly effect is defined as " A butterfly in coasta rica flaps it's wings, that adds to the wind current that builds to cause a massive typhoon in Asia." A little far fetched, but for the rest of that psychology class, i was thinking about all the little, seemingly insignifigant moments that have cartwheeled into goodness knows what. Everyone thinks about this when they stay home that extra 3 minutes to answer the phone, or do the dishes, stand on your head, whatever...and then you see a car accident, and you wonder what would have happened if you would have left on time.My roommate told me that this effect happens because everything is supposed to happen for a reason. If that's the case, well, awesome, i don't really have to work that hard, because everything will turn out alright. But, what if that's not the case. What if i would have fallen out of that apple tree i use to climb all the time. Would i have spent so much time up there thinking about stuff. How many ideas of mine (some not..great i'll admit) would i not have had? The most recent case of this stream of thoughts revolves around this year's halloween party. What if Nebraska hadn't been there. What if i wouldn't have gotten that phone call right before i left? What if Christina and Josh would have waited to leave? What if he hadn't been too busy to come with me? Would I be spending my free time with a goofy blue eyed boy? Or would i be waiting by the phone every night at 9, ready to say my goodnights? I just don't know. But, it blows my mind. Maybe everything happens for a reason. Just in case it doesn't though..i'm not gonna stop my forward momentum. I'll just worry about the future when it gets here. Have a good one.
