I never really put too much thought into who I am. My focuses in life have always been on my personal characteristics, thoughts, and feelings. Since I never questioned or thought of who I was, my beliefs were always close to that of the Christian religion. During this Philosophy course I have put much thought into challenging what I believed, ( Read more... )

My philosophy class has helped push me over the edge, I am no longer seeking to regain what I have lost. I have achieved 100% of what I once had and I have gained more ( Read more... )

When I said that I was going to cut my hair, Keith pointed out that I would have never said that even a week ago. I answered by saying that I had a spiritual awakening. And even though I said it jokingly, it was actually not that far from the truth. My journal entries from several weeks ago explain how I've been feeling dead to my emotions, or ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm sure this is true with most people, but there are two sides to my life: the serious and the not so serious. So far I've done nothing but post on the serious, or more serious, things in my life. However, this livejournal really doesn't matter that much. So I'll just post whatever is on my mind, whether it be serious or not. This is ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've updated and this may end up being my last post ever on this livejournal. But I know now that whatever I was going through when I started this journal is ending. I know for a fact that I am returning to what I once was. I am returning to where I used to be, to where I belong. The times I feel it most are ( Read more... )

I've seen people who have everything going wrong with their lives who still hold a positive outlook and are unaffected or brought down by there situation. I have also, and more often, seen people who have a wonderful life where nothing terrible happens, who get completely broken up by the littlest things that happen to them. How is that possible ( Read more... )

My first few posts were to tell a little about myself. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'm going to use my journal as a place for me to gather my thoughts in writing. This is something I've been doing for years in a written journal I've kept, but I decided I'd move it online to encourage people to have discussions with me about topics ( Read more... )

With every day that passes, we change, never to be the same. I forget this far too often. How this relates to my life, or more particularly my last post, is that I should not try to make something about myself the same as it once was ( Read more... )

Based on a few comments, both on and off my livejournal, I realized I may have sent the wrong message with my last journal entry. I am very content with my life right now. I realize that I am very fortunate and blessed with the life I have been given. What I was trying to do in my last post was give a history of why I am the person I am now. ( Read more... )

I suppose it was the winter of my junior year in high school when my heart began its search. To this day I still do not know what it is I am longing for, but it is that longing, that search, that passion, that I never want to be without. It is what drives me forward and gives me a reason to live this life. During that first winter, I would ask ( Read more... )
