I've created a new blog so I can start writing about my life more regularly. My main goal for this blog is for it to help me realize things about myself and help me become a better person. I want to work on my very poor, underdeveloped communiation skills because of how largely it's affected my relationship. I also want to work on learning to forgive and trusting others. I will go into a little about myself now and the type of person I currently am. I'm nineteen years old and very unsure of every decision I make. I'm very anxious all of the time and at the moment my life is going in no particular direction. I have high hopes for myself but things get very confusing and at times I'm completely aware of what I want, other times I'm not so sure. It gets frustrating to be so indecisive but I manage to figure things out eventually. Actually, things just kind of happen or fall into place and then I'm really just forced to go with it. So, in a sense I guess I don't figure anything out and the universe just works on it's own. I don't think I believe in 'fate' or 'destiny' because how could my whole life be predetermined? I don't like that idea because my life could go so many ways and there are so many choices that I had to make that have led me to exactly where I am now. It's very complicated for me to think about. There will always be the 'what if's' and there won't ever be answer to it. My absolute favorite movie touches on this subject a bit. The circumstances are different because it's a movie and it has a plot but the general idea really resonates with me.
The Oracle: Do you see her die?
Neo: No.
The Oracle: You have the sight now, Neo. You are looking at the world without time.
Neo: Then why can't I see what happens to her?
The Oracle: We can never see past the choices we don't understand.
Neo: Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies?
The Oracle: No, you've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it.
Like I said before I don't really think I buy into the idea of 'destiny' but this makes a lot of sense to me. The whole movie is fantastic, the idea of it anyways. I agree that the sequals are cheesy but the idea as a whole is still great. It's the little things about the movie and the things they say that really gets me. It just makes so much sense and it's rare that a movie really touches me or makes me think for so long. I can always connect my life with a quote from the movies. It's just so much more than what people see. It goes way beyond the story meant to capture your attention, theres so much meaning hidden inside of it, it's really beautiful.
