Here I sit, in an empty dorm, thinking of all the wonders that make up my life. I should be in class, listening to a long drab lecture of how cutting metal has changed the world but instead I sit here exploring the lives of the people around me. Facebook, like big story book of everyone I've come close to, and even some I've never even talked to. It's amazing how much you can learn about someone without ever even meeting them.
I started this blog after reading Mike and Zach's blogs. I doubt I'll keep it updated, or that anyone will ever read it. But I always wanted to be one of those people that can just write and make people realize things about themselves. One of my good friends from highschool is an amazing writer, even though I doubt he'd agree. He makes me want to be a better person. It's amazing how lost someone can be and yet get everything so right. Everything he writes makes me want to change, to make what I do as a person matter in the grand scheme of life.
Everyone wants to be able to change the world. You get those moments in life after watching some documentary or seeing someone do something amazing and you decide your going to change your life. You decide your gonna become a better person and spread some sunshine. But before you know it you back to your old ways. I know it's true, I've done it countless times, we all have. The truth is, the people who are changing the world are the last ones to think they're going to make a difference. Nobody sits down to change to the world because they want to feel better about themselves and actually makes a change. I guess at some point maybe someone has, but in reality those who shine most, are those who don't. They don't want to become some life-changing activist, they just want to make the world a bit better for someone else.
I guess we all just need to sit back and re-examine our own lives. You can't expect to change the world if you can fix your own. Maybe then you can work on making everyone else's lives a bit better.
