Love-
Love. Have I ever loved someone? Sure. Of course. Duh. But was it that kind of love? Now how do I know that? There is a girl, there was a girl. She's still around, but I try not to remember her. Was it love? I don't know but it's the closest I've come.
Aging-
Life is short. Way way way too short. It feels like just yesterday or last month it was 1997...and the thought of going out any second is terrifying. I fear death, big time. There are so many things I need to do. To experience. Aging and death there coming quick and can't be stopped.
Travel-
I wish my family traveled more when I was a kid. We never ventured far enough. I've always wanted to live in the snow. I've always wanted to visit Australia, England, Sweden, New York, Canada. I'll probably never go. I don't travel enough for my liking.
Conflict-
With who? Within myself? Plenty. With parents? Who doesn't? With friends? Sure. With animals? Sadly, yes. But I guess it's all for the greater good.
Your body-
My body looks magnificent from the right view, or else it's a complete mess. It's probably a humbling thing though. Who really wants to look like (insert famous handsome actor) anyway? I'm sure even he has his shitty days.
Knowledge-
One minute I feel smart the next I feel like I'm suffering from a rare brain malfunction. Secretly though, just between you and me, I think I'm very smart.
Literature-
Is a stuffy word. I like to read stories, my kind of stories. Literature reminds me of the worst English class imaginable. My favorite book reminds me of what it feels like to be alive.
Coming of age-
Now that's a great sub-genre for movies and books. I think The Outsiders is a great coming of age story.
Life As A Man-
Uhh...uhh...it's cool? I don't consider myself a man. A male, yes. 'Man' seems scary and like a looming evil figure to me. Like a dad that beats you.
