it's late, and i'm feeling troubled and nostalgic...
thinking i'm too young to have lost so many people already. cars... too many cars have crashed. too many drugs and diseases. wonder why i scraped through and not others. it's a blessing, yet it's difficult to understand the strange way that the world turns.
if fate or destiny has a plan for me, then what of free will and choice? surely i have a hand in the unfolding of my life. maybe i should relax and allow myself to be delivered into what one might call destiny. i fear this attitude would make me terribly lazy. perhaps we are too humble, and refer to positive occurances as fate, removing ourselves from the responsibility of changing our lives for the better. i think i'd like to take credit for the good things. the finding of an amazing partner, or whatever, and accept that i have control over my own life and all that is to come. hmmm....
or maybe it's all meaningless and we are totally missing the whole fucking point.

I agree, life is really ours to mold and to shape.

too many people expect things to just happen for them, and never do a god damn thing... then wonder why they aren't satisfied. it makes me cringe to see so many people becoming so fucking apathetic.
