Jun. 23rd, 2003 03:25 pmIt has occureed to me that I update with the most inane shit.
I feel I should say more of the significant things.
I should talk about, I dunno, trauma or something.
But I live a mostly trauma-free life. I'm spoiled with my lack of life-altering trauma. There are trauma-ridden people out there with lives so full of pain I can't even imagine who probably hate me and my entire social demographic.
So I'll say something significant today.
I want to change the world before I die. In a big way. I don't know how.

So just do something little and watch the world change before your very eyes.

thanks for the encouragement. :)

And different actions have different consequences.
Some are hastily forgotten.
Others change the world.

Date: 2003-06-23 04:09 pm (UTC)I do smile at strangers a lot. i make an effort, and most people smile back.
But that's not exactly waht I was talking about. I want to really really change the world, in a big way. Doing it with hugs and smiles is a romantic idea, but I'm more ambitious than that. I jsut don't know quite what I'm ambitious for.
That's ok though. I'm 19. Acoording to everyone I'm not supposed to know what I'm going to do with my life at 19.

No offense.
