sometimes it can be hard to find the silver lining of the cloud. but i keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason though. today, like others, i feel especially content with this optimistic creed. having a day to myself, to just do, whatever i want was so liberating. i gave me time to clean my car, (first time since the accident),

love is just another emotion to experience through life. tell yourself that there are different degrees of love, and to try to experience them all, don't just focus on one person you love(d), focus on all the people you love.

but i do disagree with you on the whole everything happens for a reason. i think that every thing just happens. if our lives were mapped out, our experineces would be a mass amount of million-pronged-forks in the road. so even though it seems that every thing happens for a reason, it's just a giant coincidence. nothing can be pre-destined, or people could use that as an excuse for murder and other crimes. "it was pre-destined. it was god's will. i was supposed to rape and kill her." no no. shit happens. it just happens. so maybe there is a god and he gave us free will. because i have no idea what's going to happen next and neither does God.

a good writer makes you contemplate the meaning of life.

i bought a new moleskine notebook and i thought about you. it's a storyboard type notebook and i'm super pumped. i'm writing the draft for my graphic in it. and did you know that moleskine is pronunced mol-a-skeen-a? i never did. i even knew that they are made by an italian company and i never thought to put two and two together. peace.

i think just the opposite: because i believe in God, my faith suggests that what happens in our daily lives is the will of the Lord and not a coincidence. God does know what is in store for you and his purpose for you will be fulfilled through your worship and daily life. there are a lot of people who have said "God told me to kill her," "God wants me to rape her, it's his will." And who are we to say (although it's disturbing) is not their will? it is indeed a scapegoat at times to say "everything happens for a reason" but for the most part i'm a firm believer.

thanks for the tip about the mol-a-skeen-a. we'll be the only two americans walking around pronouncing it properly, but we know we're cool!!! good luck with your draft.

yeah but the chistian God gave us free will. so does that mean he cannot control our actions? or can he interfer? and if so, why not intervene all the time? this is why i've abandoned my faith, because i'm too stubborn to care to hear the answers. and i give up on things that confuse me.
