(no subject)
Sans an image, or the usual layout (not that it's obvious, with the scrambled new design forced upon this by LiveJournal..) due to being on a computer other than my habitual..
Lately, I've been rediscovering voices I've been missing. Old stories, expressions darker and brighter.. Old characters, like old friends. The people who shaped me weren't all physically here. In fact, I'd venture as far as to say they mostly weren't physically here. But by example, and in some cases discourse, they played a large part in forming my approach to the world.
Much of everyday life is mundane. Hence the appeal of the larger-than-life. Perhaps that's at least partly why I find myself in Emergency Med as opposed to other fields.
I still believe in doing the right thing. I believe there is a "right thing". Most of the time, anyway. Lying, cheating, or stealing, I abhor, along with a raft of other vices. I think it would be great to have superpowers. Even if they come with great responsibility. I keep waiting for mine to appear. I think there's a greater point to our existence than just existing, even if I don't believe in there being a higher being.
Once upon a time, I wanted more. Perhaps I'll remember how to again.
