the challenge

[girlwithagun]

No-one wants to be special anymore. Only the truly naive beg to be special, and even then it's their kind of special - chosen one, fairy tale princess, supremely powerful witch - a one-sided childhood fantasy of magically having everything we've ever wanted without having to do anything for it but wait for it to happen because we are... special.

You are special, and so am I. :} therr should be more people out there like us. I really enjoyed reading this. Its what makes us individuals, then lend to our own uniqueness, and choices, determine whether we are indeed couragous, or if we lay down to he way side and let this life of ours pass us by.

You know, I was actually just thinking along these lines the other day when I started reading about the age of the universe, how long the earth has left and expanding on what I knew essentially about what it means to us. (I actually find it awesome that somebody else was thinking what I was thinking)

Really, while not UNLIKELY that there are other places in the universe where life in fact exists, it is certainly presumed that Earth like planets are indeed fairly rare. Just the simple fact of being here and being human is pretty amazing. The problem is nobody really appreciates just how amazing it is.

We all make ourselves who we are. You get out exactly what you put into your life, chances are, you only get one. So why not explore it to the fullest potential that you can? I cannot describe how much better my life has been since I decided to actually live, to push myself to my full potential and to experience life instead of just let it happen.
