I wish someone could choose for me, some kind of all-knowing, higher power. I confided in a friend of mine, he said I should stick around in case something drastically changes for the better. Yet so many people have gone before me, many of their deaths unintentional and unceremonious--they didn't have the luxury of a choice. If only I knew what the future holds, what makes me hesitant is the fear of the unknown, the fear that I'll become nothing, all my memories, all my experiences, my identity-- reduced to nothing. I also fear what I might miss out on, there are still people and things I enjoy like my mother's company, nature, music, art and beauty.. it doesn't seem logical or possible that only this way of existence exists--with all its wonders and beauty, only for it to then be stripped away the moment we leave this life. Our existence is a mystery measured by scientific theory, the evidence of which we cannot yet define or comprehend--though we are getting close, it's still not enough. No one truly knows what happens after we die, why we're here, who or what created us--and the billions of other planets and galaxies that exist much like our own. I wish I knew, I wish someone or something could show me or tell me.. it'd make a world of difference.
