well english assignments are always fun. especially for AP.

it's always good to find a purpose for exsistence. or at least believe there's an underlying meaning underneath it all, even if you don't fully no what it is nor understand it. People don't understand that you really do impact people. I never thought that I was important enough at least, to ever be effective in anyone's life. And I guess to a certain extent, I still view each day as another hurdle to just jump over and continue to the next. It's like waking up and blinking, and then falling back to asleep again because sometimes you forget what you did inbetween, and it feel's like nothing. but life isn't a neverending calendar, and you're bound to run out of days and once you get to that last one won't you regret viewing life as one big huge phase? I'm terribly afraid of that. But I still have a lot of things to figure out.

cheers to you Austin, good essay.
