As I Sit Here

As I sit here waiting for my phone to sync so I can go to bed I ponder about the universe. Close your eyes for a moment and simply feel yourself in the universe. You should feel so small that you are not but a single cell within a vast and seemingly never ending space. Look down on the earth and see the civilization or lack there of that has formed. Then look at yourself. Or more personally I am looking at myself.

Do I make a difference? Do I matter? What if there is some other earth like planet out there that has a civilization as well. Why are we the ones on this earth that have grown to be the masters of it? Ok so you believe in God? Well.. What created God?

My head begins to twist and twirl just considering the possibility that there is a higher being actually out there and perhaps a higher deity above that one. And endless amount of possibilities surround us on a daily basis and a lot of it is based around faith. Faith in and of itself is a marvelous thing. Belief in something that basically no one has any proof actually exists. Sure Jesus Christ existed but what if it was all a bunch of bologna?

Why are we here? What is our purpose in life? Is there a purpose in life? What am I doing with my life? Should I be making the most out of it? Should I wake up tomorrow morning go to class then grab my girlfriend by the hand and just go?

For some reason I feel almost meaningless at the moment. I do not know what it is. How would people's lives be without me? Would they all be miserable or, by my logic, would other events would have happened that would have made them equally as satisfied or happier with their lives?

You are a single cell in the vast space that is, well, space. Life as we know it could end tomorrow. Who knows? The world is unpredictable and ever changing.

I once had the conversation that hey, the earth came back when all those volcanoes exploded, it can take what we are throwing at it just fine. There is no such thing as global warming. There is such a thing as too much trash though. This room I am in? One day it will cease to exist and my presence here will be completely and utterly forgotten.

What is the point of doing homework? In today's society we exist to create the next little babies to keep the ball rolling. We grow up, get jobs and feed the economy. Just keep the cogs turning in the vast machine that is the world today. Continents, countries, states, cities, towns, neighborhoods. Life keeps going on and if you do not grab on and take hold it will quickly leave you behind without a care.

But what if time does care? What if it is shoving the handles into our hands and just waiting for us to squeeze? Should we squeeze? Of course we should. Grab on damnit and go for it. Want to be a musician, movie director, actor, business person, volunteer, swimmer, runner, animator, do what you want in life! If you don't you will find yourself stuck in a rut and not making most out of the time you do have. In a relationship that you actually do not like and want to get out of? Get out of it, move on, do not be held back by what you really want out of life!

Life is hard. But life is good.

Whether or not you think you were placed here by a deity's doing or whether you think you are simply here because evolution happened and here we are, make the most out of what you have and what you can do.

You are a single cell in the vast space that is space. As far as we are concerned it is never ending. Everything starts with a single cell. A single motion. A single thought. A single action. Next thing you know you have an amazing world filled with amazing things that never cease to amaze.

Life is good.

Grab the handles of time. For if you do not, it will leave you behind. Even if you are seventy years old and have yet to grasp those handels, do it. I encourage you.

Practicing what I preach will be quite the difficult thing. But hey, if I am going to do it, why not you as well? Stop wasting time's time. Go and be what you want to be and who you want to be. Do not bother with other's opinons. Smile at someone on the street. Donate some money. Build a treehouse. Lay out under the stars. Build a business. Fall in love. Create life. Live life.

Life. Is. Good.
