Who Knew..

I've spent my entire life trying to figure "IT" out; "IT" being life.
That's 23 years, 4 months, 10 days and about 7 hours and
approximately 56 minutes, trying to figure out exactly the purpose of it all; my purpose, anythings purpose. Thanks to my Dad;
STILL trying a good 12 years on, to figure out if the sky really is blue, and the grass really is green, or if I just think that because I was told so..
But lately, Ive finally realise that its really not that
critical of a focus point in this life. I could spend my entire life criticising, contemplating and taking apart every single moment, event and person in my life, but in doing that, am I not wasting the whole beauty of life?
In the same sense, I
don't believe in religion, I
don't. I think its hypocritical and
ridiculous. I believe in God; sure, on my own terms, but I cannot dedicate my life and every waking second to something that I only believe but cannot be sure to be true. I guess I have
alot and I mean
ALOT of questions, I want to understand how it works. I guess
that's just how I am.
I'm not one for being lead blindly into anything, thanks to my Dad, but I guess in life you have no choice but to for
alot of the part, either that or you will never really enjoy life at all..
Following without knowing is hard for me, but honestly
I'm trying to, to some extent. I mean sure, I'm still going to question and wonder, but honestly
I'm so tired of trying to work everything out and over
analyse everything!!
I'm more so tired of trying to figure myself out. I might not know who I truly am, but I know what I am not. I am not sure anyone really honestly knows who they are. Isn't that the purpose of life to spend your life making yourself and finding yourself? If it were the case that we were meant to know who we were, then we would never suprise ourselves, nor would we fail or not know what we want..
Maybe its true that as people we are very changeable throughout life. Like anything, a house for example, we are built on foundations that are unchangeable and remain the same though sometimes shaky before being strengthened, but everything else ontop and around that is changeable and moulded as the seasons come and go, and things touch us. We are forever changing on the outside, and I believe the same goes for the inside. I believe now in things I would never have deemed possible 5 years ago. I love things I've never loved before. And done things I never would have believed possible for me in my life.
I'm continually worried about what people will think of me and in that sense I think I've always tried to blend in with the masses rather than be myself, and finally I'm allowing myself to be who I want to be, and express how I feel, and what is in my heart.
A friend told me lately, that America has changed me. I dont believe it to be so; I believe life has changed me over the past few years but more specifically to the points they made, America has allowed me to break the pattern I was in, and has allowed me to be myself rather than conform.
Judge me how you will, that goes without saying. I will always stand up for what I believe in and going forward defend who I am and want to be.
LIVE, LAUGH abut most importantly,
LOVE; the people you surround yourself with and the life YOU choose to live..
