Sorry, if this is kinda weird. I don't know, I haven't written in a long time and I was just letting it flow out of me. Maybe I'm alone with my thought to much, haha.

This is something I do think about a lot, the lack of purpose in living, and a while ago I came to the conclusion that we, as individuals have no purpose if not to the human species, in this case, our meaning in life is simply to live and reproduce and leave once we're of no use - like for example when we're old - this is very depressing isn't? To cheer you up - or not - be aware that we as a species, hold meaning, look around the world, we're changing it, even after we're gone we'll leave a mark, even on the galaxy itself, although will that meaning mean something? Like how can we verify our meaning if we will never know the result(because we will be dead) - for this we'd have to accept there's something above this world - after death, not necessarily heaven or hell - that will allow us to do this, and having this in mind, "the life purpose" aspect is not so sad anymore, having this mind we could live for the mark we will leave on the world, a mark that perhaps will accompany mankind's mark. But what if death is the definitive end of existence? (we don't know this yet but lets suppose it is) Is there no purpose then? Maybe yes, maybe not, depends on what you feel about deluding yourself for the sake of your mind's stability, and I'll leave it there. If you're totally against deluding yourself, I personally believe there's no point in living. However, there's something that keeps us from killing ourselves isn't there? Good poem Jen ^^

Well I guess I'm a junior now. Am I ready? Ha, no. I don't post often, only when I feel inspired. I'm 16 years old and I might be the only 16 year old on the planet who wishes they weren't. I like art.. more..
