Don't go there.

For my soul and mind; I hope that I can always keep faith over fact. I'd be okay with getting wrapped up in wanting answers (it would only make sense) but I hope to never let the passion I never asked for burn out even because of "fact."
I just want to learn how to respect others and their take on faith and/or God. I hope to never leap off the ground and jump down the throat of someone who mentions something that doesn't make sense to me in regards to religion. Clearly humans will be trying to make sense of this idea until the end of time. There's never going to be a solid answer, so even when I decide to tackle this thing by studying with a teacher who "knows more about it than I do" I hope I can always show a respectful side in every setting.
If someone is talking to me about their God being a Japanese turtle, I'd want to listen. Of course the Japanese turtle God was an exaggeration, but even if it seems like the most obvious thing in the world and that there would be no reason for a human to believe a certain way.. I hope to remember the entire spectrum of what I'm even talking about.
I hope I can always try to respect that other people are alive. You showcase this. She'll showcase that. God saves their lives. He'll think this way. They'll believe that way. My aunt thinks one way and my Grandma believes the other.
I just hope to always admire all of it.


I'm excited that I'm alive. I'm excited that I can become ONE with the world by looking out at the night sky and appreciate how the sun will always set for this moment. This moment of looking into the dark night is unbelievable. If I didn't notice how amazing it was I'd never be able to remember that I don't need this computer, this blog, these headphones, or these selfish worries. The thought of needing these things will always come back, but the amount of time I spend watching the world beyond this screen will probably outweigh the thoughts. Someday they will. They definitely will.
