Countless Encounters
As if the world needed another loud mouth, wild heart, unruly kid in this world. But isn't that what we are all at heart?
I'm 18, I'm made of movement, and I grew up with the thought that maybe growing up won't be so bad. But then again, everyone's wrong sometimes.

"The day a child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent. The day he forgives them, he becomes an adult. And the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise."

Shades of Grey
As a kid, I always grew up under the influence that God is watching us. This brought into the suspicion, God must be a pretty big guy. Which also brought in the suspicion: God must be pretty damn powerful. All of these facts made me come to the conclusion “God could literally squash us for the smallest thing at any given moment.” as well as “Any time I do something wrong, God will find some way to make me pay for my sins. Be it small or large punishment.”
As I grew older and left the tiny umbrella of the Christian following and was transferred into Public School, I feel like I learned more about God then I did at the Christian school. And after learning quite a few facts, I came to this conclusion: “Life can neither be free nor guided. We are always being controlled but always in a state of free choice.”
And now I’m sure you ask “Well what the hell? That doesn’t makes sense!” and I completely agree that this should be the question you’re asking. Because here’s the precise answer: Some things aren’t aloud to make sense. Maybe there are reasons why we don’t know what our purpose is or why the human brain is so complicated or why Suzy broke up with Tommy.
The simple law of “Every action has an equal or opposite reaction” applies completely to life. If someone does something, it starts another thing. As a result of something, another something happens. As a result of someone dying, there could very well be the birth of someone new into the world. A question I sometimes ask myself is: What would be the reaction of mankind if we knew everything about everything?
As a revert back to the beginning subject, I’d like to address that though I have become what is described as a more “darker” person after moving from the confines of the Christian school, I believe I have learned many more things about life as well as God then I did before. When you are opened to the facts, you realize things, and that what you believed before wasn’t entirely the full story. As a result of leaving the Christian school, I realized that everything happens for a reason, not always entirely dependent on a higher being. I realized that, even dark events can turn into good things in the long run. I realized that, God has to make dark and sometimes seemingly wrong choice to create a better outcome. That’s why I believe, nothing in this world is always black and white. There is always a grey area in between. An area where things can be right or wrong.
