I write from a place of self thought. I'm a believer in self. I get my strength from within. I do what I believe is right, not to impress you, not for you to like me, not for you to judge. I think for myself. It's my right, I'm going to breathe while the air is clean, and live while I'm still alive. I don't know why I think the way I do sometimes. I scare myself. I guess I'm just used to being the Jonny that everybody knows. The sometimes funny sometimes not and always loving person I've become. I take peoples words to heart. I think it's about time that I found something that's worth living for. I want to be passionate enough to die fighting for it. But I don't have it all figured out, and I know I don't. As one of my favorite authors once said; Your birth is a mistake you'll spend your whole life trying to correct."Maybe we just exist, we live, we die, and we are gone forever.
And I would be okay with that.
So that's why I'm making this one count."

Self Thought
I'm not sure there is a deeper meaning behind what life is, maybe what is now, is all there is. There isn't and doesn't need to be an answer for everything.

hey, first of all, thanks for reading my blog and commenting!
next, that quote from your favorite author...i really like it. and hey, don't worry about figuring things out. it's something that i'm not even sure is supposed to happen. then we'd have the answer to life, and i don't think we're ever supposed to own that.
i appreciate your comment.
do you have msn messenger or anything?
i'd like to get to know you, even though that sounds super creepy.
Wow...you're quite intriguing! I enjoy your blog tremendously. You seem so similar to me and I'd love to get to know you...email me! LandonLDP@aim.com
Jonny - thanks for your comment. IJ is my nephew.
God bless you as you continue to think, write, and live well. You speak from deep waters, brother. Keep exploring them with sensitivity to what you hear.
existentialism
So much to think about. You certainly get to the heart of the matter.
This "self thought" thought, brings up many questions that must be considered. Here are some that came to my mind. You say you are a believer of power from within and that you do what you think is right.
(or as the Bible puts it, "Every man does what's right in his own eyes"). This is the problem with the world, do you know that? This is precisely the reason that people stand in awe of evil acts such as any mindless killing of the innocent or the Extermination of the Jews by the Nazi's who thought they were doing what was right.
You see, a sense of right and wrong is in the conscience, and a conscience can be easily lead astray to do wrong things. Have you ever considered Entropy? Have you ever sat and observed how everything moves from a state of order to disorder.....arrange a Chinese checkers board in the back seat of you car and drive around and it will be disordered. Leave it in disarray and it will not become ordered. All this is to say, Order and "rightness" are only possible by an all mighty hand acting upon the universe and all that is within. For without that, there would only be chaos. Right and Wrong must be standardized by something greater than mankind.
HEl yeA!
I love you!
Hey Man ~ Thanks for the comment bro! Enjoy reading your deep thoughts - but I dont like your quote about life being a mistake that takes correcting. Everyone's life HAS mistakes, (or else how would we learn for cryin out loud...), but life itself is the farthest thing from a mistake. Have you read the "Allegory of the Cave" by Plato?
You're an amazing writer. Everything is so real and so relatable. I feel the same way sometimes. Once i was asked "What are you passionate about?" It really got me thinking. I'm not really sure what my passions are but I know that I love life and live everyday to the fullest. I'm happy and I try to share my happiness with other people.
I don't know what if this is what you wanted to hear...but now I'm just rambling on haha.
