i believe religion to be none other than a wicked curse.
i cannot bear the thought to affiliate with an organized group of people who believe in a specific set of ideas which occurred in the past.
the reason behind my logic associates with the basic perception-
there is more than one belief- so which is true?
i ask this because only one can logically be true.
catholic, christian, methodist, lutheran, mormon, buddhist, hindu, etc.
i have constructed in my mind the reasonable ideology that the truth will never be fully discovered. i may try to search for answers, but in the end, i know nothing can ever be factually explained.
in conclusion, i have chosen to be me.
if this banishes me to hell, so be it.
if this sends me to heaven, so be it.
i'm a realist and i have faith- but i will never indulge fully into one religion that "believes" they are right because i will always ask myself- "are they?".
religion is a curse that i wish to avoid in life.

your words fuel my brain
tragedy and meaning i can sustain.

brilliant aspects of wonder in your books
i love the way you think, your worldly look.

sylvia,
oh sylvia.

through my seventeen-year existence
i have realized that every human can connect to one another.
we are like the paper dolls children cut in school
connected... united.

like the "red string"
the ancient proverb stating that there is a red string linking us all
it can be tangled, knotted, stretched... but never can it break.

however; society is blind.
technology has become an evil nobody notices.
invested in social media, i have seen things that will destroy families.
staring into the abyss of the internet, into apps or infamous gossip
people do not realize that it is NOT important.

seriously now, what ever happened to going outside everyday?
a powerful quote that inspires me daily is to act like a child.
spend time outside, sleep more, eat a balanced meal.

we are blind. humanity is only driven by the sight of others.
stop trying to impress others and live for YOU.
this life only comes once- who wants to waste it in a fake, materialistic world?

i hope one day we regain our vision.
i hope human beings can have actual conversations without the use of a phone, computer or tv.
i hope we will see that our actions impair the future generation.
has anyone noticed how these younger folk are so impolite and irresponsible?

let's set down the technology.
stop drinking and smoking and having meaningless ***.

stop being blind society because this life truly is beautiful, you just can't see it.

my daily routine incorporates morphing thoughts i seem to shed,
constantly struggling with anxiety over future plans.
mornings are the only time i can actually be inside my head,
my ears are comforted by the silence and i know where i stand.
~
as the day soon arrives i over-analyze my surrounding space,
my mind gasps for breath, my body tenses & my soul diminishes light.
coming into the "real world" makes me feel like i'm last in a race,
everyone in front is so eager to age that their actions block my sight.
~
i feel like a lost spirit in this society because i just want to feel alive,
if conforming is the only way to be successful, why would i even strive?
