"and just maybe, tonight, you wished for something similar..."

What am I doing?

NOW

and I believe in the miracles,

I believe in the spiritual,

I believe in the one above,

I believe in the one I love.

The Way I See It #186:

The world is smaller than you think,

and the people on it are more beautiful than you think.

-Bertram van Munster

I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where I'm going, did I mention I don't know what I'm doing?

lonely

I feel like all of my time and energy is being put into trying to make this school better, and the most ironic part is that no one who goes there gives a shit about me.

Why isn't there a major that says: change the people around you. Make people happy, make your community positive. encourage people to do what they want, talk to people until they feel better. care. spread thoughts and words and quotes and suggestions and advice little by little. why can't a major say, 'it's the little things' or 'it all starts with you' or even 'go out there and just do it'. these are the things I want to learn.

Or maybe I'm getting a little carried away. maybe all I really want is for someone, somewhere to tell me that I can study how to be a good person, and how to make people smile.
