Life is a strange thing isn’t it? The idea that we, or you, or me exist for a moment and then presumably never again is such a strange thought. It makes me wonder why existence happens at all. Billions of people have lived on this planet for millions of years and their lives were filled with all happiness, sadness, laughter, guilt, and then nothing. We all slip away in our own quiet world, our voices never heard again, our tears never to be felt again, and our love never to touch someone’s heart again.
This desire to understand this idea that we will never be able to find an answer to, has plagued my mind for years. I lay awake at night and I drift through the day trying to find answers. Answers to questions about the world, life, and myself.

Maybe you'll write a book!

Maybe, I feel like I ramble too much when I write. I don't know how well it would be.
I hope you've been doing well?
Sleepy-Eyed John Philomath ⋅ June 01, 2023
Doing okay thanks. Might have Covid though.

Ya, thank you. I'm kinda looking forward to an excuse to avoid life, I just hope it doesn't suck.
Philomath Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ June 01, 2023
If you have it, I hope you get better soon. I haven't had it myself but I know a few people who have. Doesn't sound like that great to catch but they made it thru.

I'm mostly worried about Long Covid.
Philomath Sleepy-Eyed John ⋅ June 02, 2023
I understand. Some people I know still don't have their taste or smell back 100%. Compared to some of the other side effects associated with COVID, that's pretty tame.

I've mostly avoided it. I don't go anywhere. Don't know how I got it. Kinda pissed off.

Explore religions and philosophies. Maybe something will click for you.

I've read some. I would like to believe in something, but it's a continuous struggle between wanting to believe and believing. I can't blindly throw in my faith to something that I can't prove exists, no matter how hard I try to believe in it.
I'll continue searching and I do think one day it'll all click for me.
