Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

I can't let go. I forget that things end. Time is nothing, will be nothing, if only systems that work in perpetuity can be perfected and maintained, and then I can exist out of time. Or some part of me can. I can't get the hang of genesis in destruction, of letting go, of moving on without looking back, of not looking forward. I don't always look forward. Perhaps because I'm so busy looking back, holding on. If this does not matter, then what does? Why do I want to be important? I suppose because I'm scared of dying, scared of that change, of what will come next, and that I do not know. I want to be remembered. I want to impact the world I know now; it is a way of holding on. I want to be important to what is important to me. Why?
If I find a way, will I be able to explain the path I took, to point it out so that others may see it, and perhaps even follow? Why do my thoughts turn immediately to doing that rather than to taking the path? What happens if the path is no longer there to point out? Will I have found an end, or only a good place to stand on the mountain's side? Why do we climb?
Does beauty make people better? Surely not. Yet, if one believes that they are a good person because they are beautiful, do they more often act as they think is good (because they believe they are good, by virtue of being beautiful)? If so, are they not better because they are beautiful? And in that event, isn't it advantageous to say that beautiful people are better? But do they really act better because they think they are better?
If the box is opened and one person observes whether Schrödinger's cat is dead or alive, but does not pass on that information to one who cannot observe it, isn't the cat still both dead and alive for the one who cannot observe? And yet its state is definite for the one who can. I'm glad this is somebody else's problem.
I'm so ace.
When I finally figured out that I want the same thing as everybody else, I didn't want to believe it. But I do want it. And I'm glad that I know that.
When people say they've found the secret key to happiness, it's only the newest key to another thing that makes us happy which no one had yet exploited. Are there infinite things?
I'm so busy being in the moment that I forget that moments don't last forever. With the way that i must live, that is not good.
That time recently when I looked forward. Those times, recently, when I did not fail. Those times recently where doing something I did not enjoy staved off things I would have enjoyed even less.
Is it worth it?
Every action has an equal opposite reaction, everything has a cost. Or does it? The times when we prefer the benefit to the cost are the times when we think it is worth it. Are there times when things have a cost that we simply do not see as a cost?
Look at me, unraveling basic, simple truths that surely everyone already knows. But aliens wouldn't know. Neither would babies. Babies might as well be aliens.
We really love making stuff the same as us. Or making ourselves the same as stuff.
This is very long. It's fun, too, but I'm still going to stop now.

My life feels so meaningful. I feel fulfilled. I feel... I don't know. Praying for purpose really works!

I know what you mean, Jwyn!
Taoa says euka. Eureka? Have you had an idea, Taoa?

I watched like over 7 straight hours of Marvel movies today and I regret nothing.

THIS. IS. CREEPY.

The unburning pacifist zombie or the villager in general?
(April 28, 2019 - 7:22 pm)
Both! And they won't move, either. I guess it's just a weird bug. It's gone now, though.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is the only good book series out there. Change my mind.
(April 28, 2019 - 7:50 pm)
- A series of unfortunate events
- The mysterious benedict society
- The 100 cupboards series
- All the wrong questions
- Fly by night
- Chronicles of narnia
(April 28, 2019 - 8:42 pm)
Redwall. Harry Potter. The Hunger Games. The Books of Bayern. Yes, and Narnia.
(April 29, 2019 - 9:25 am)
Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit. The Lunar Chronicles. Keeper of the Lost Cities. The Wingfeather Saga. And The Mysterious Benedict Society and Narnia are heartily seconded.

I recognize that people have stated many other books than the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Unfortunately, I am illiterate and will probably not read any of these books. And, none of the books stated have Zoo Wee Mama! In them. My point still stands.

Holy cow I'm going to be 15 tomorrow.
(April 29, 2019 - 12:10 pm)
You're kidding *faints dramatically*
(April 29, 2019 - 3:38 pm)
Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl. And all the other things people said. Have we changed your mind yet?
Whoa! 15?! I'm freaking out about turning 14!
