  • Nihilism.

    I was thinking atheism but then I realized my symptoms point directly at nihilism. hahaha.

    Kana and I talked about what I've been thinking about and we started to come up with a bunch of possibilities on what happens when we die. We just had a laugh at it.

    I really feel like people put too much thought into this whole concept of life.

    Out of fear came religion.
    Miracles? Everyone's a little psychic. The power of our minds are always underestimated. We can do a lot more than we think we can if we really want it desperately.
    History? No one knows what is manipulated and what is not in historical documents. None of us were there a thousand years ago, were we?
    People are capable of a lot of things than we give credit for.

    But then again, we're just a bunch of creatures on this tiny little planet we decided to call Earth. We aren't even fully aware of what goes on in our own galaxy. There's just no way we can judge how big the universe is.
    And then again, what is bigger than the universe? For such a long time, people didn't even think of outer space. We don't know if the universe is the ultimate space of existance.

    If such a being as "God" or the "Creator" exists, what makes people such a being gives a crap about a bunch of people on a tiny little planet? How is anyone out there sure that there aren't any other intelligent organisms out there somewhere in the universe or even outside of the universe? There's obviously no way to be sure.

    Humans are ignorant and powerless in so many areas. Even areas we can't even think or imagine of.

    This makes me laugh at the whole world. Why? Because I watch all this drama lama going on every day, all these serious faces and and people with deep thoughts (like me) and...
    There could be creatures out there that are laughing right at our faces without us knowing?
    To them, our deepest thoughts and discoveries could just be the fundamentals; just the start of a whole bigger picture.

    What makes people think that we are so deep and profound? So valuable and important? Sometimes, it even feels like people are so egocentric and arrogant, thinking that the "creator" or "God" cares a whole lot about each and one of us.

    And even if "God" really does exist and care for each and one of us, who's in control of "God?"

    But then again, we don't know what "God" really is about... Well, I don't since I don't believe in God. I have no idea what "God" is. Don't know what the "Creator" consists of.

    I used to think that there HAS to be a biginning. That there HAS to be a creator who started this whole mess called the world and life. But... I could be completely wrong. Like I said previously, we're so ignorant and powerless. We might be blind to even the fundamentals of this entire plain of existence.

    Pretty overwhelming to think about. There are too many possibilities. Too many guesses I can make... And they still could just be extremely pathetic and fundamental.

    What makes us think that we are so much more complicated than a rock? To our logic and findings, we came to a conclusion that a rock is just... a rock. But we don't know everything, do we?
    We are like blind people touching the leg of an elephant and determining what it really is. In a world that we don't even know of, a rock could be so much more than how much value we give it.
    On the other hand, humans might not mean much at all. We created the concept of time, the concept of morality, the concept of absolutely everything we live by and stress over all the time or take advantage of and enjoy. Without these concepts we came up with, there's no meaning to life. There is no meaning to life.

    There's simply no way to tell.

    Also, is there such a thing as THE ANSWER?
    Is there anything that brings the entire plane of existance as one whole package? Does the concept of unity even exist, looking at the entire huge picture? Pfft, IS THERE a huge picture? Might not even be a picture.

    There could be no such thing as "an end" and no such thing as "the start" of everything.

    We might find out when we die
    or we might never know for our entire existence.

    I do feel held back and trapped knowing so little but at the same time, I feel like ignorance is bliss.

    At least I am able to create my own reality and afterlife in my head.
    My mind is where I am the most free.


    ---------------------

    I've been thinking about college majors and things I want to learn more about and I came up with:

    -Sociology
    -Philosophy
    -Psychology
    -Something to do with Writing.

  • Lonely?

    Uhhh. Yeah.
    Pathetically so.

    There's a wall between me and the world.
    There's a wall between me and the rest of the people in the world.

    ...

    It doesn't matter how many people know me;
    it doesn't matter how many people REALLY know me;
    it doesn't matter how many people I really know;
    it doesn't matter how many people care about me.

    There's still a wall.
    And instead of slowly deteriorating,
    it's rapidly building up and sideways.

    I don't know whether I'm the one building it or the universal law building it.
    Who's in control of my loneliness?
    Is it really me?

    I am aware of the fact that I have two great friends who really care about me and a few more others who don't know me as well but still care a whole lot...
    But why the wall?
    Why do I feel like they are people far, far away from me, not only in distance but in connection as well?

    I know the answer to why I am becoming a closed up person to people.
    I feel pathetic. That is why.
    I don't like the way I think about certain things and I hate the things that bug me. They feel so pathetic and stupid to talk about.
    I'm also tired of letting people know what is going through my head.
    All I will ever get is a bunch of "aww"s and "I'm sorry"s... Really, what more can they give?

    In the end, we are all stuck in this planet, run by a bunch of power-hungry people in suits. I am always competing against people, always being judged and judging...
    Always struggling to find a way to be able to have a roof over my head one day and be independent.
    But I am never given the time to understand what the world is really about.
    I am never given the time to be creative; never given the time to try to discover more about life and who I am as a person.
    I am, therefore, stuck and lost in my own self.

    I am unable to determine what is right and what is wrong in many areas of morality and I am unable to give the right amount of value to anything because I don't know how much is enough for anything.

    I am losing balance in life.

    Not much makes sense to me in this world anymore.
    There is something building up inside me but not substantializing. I am assuming that that is what is building the wall between me and the rest of the world -- The unexplicable feelings and thoughts in me that I can't seem to make solid.

    There are thoughts and logic that humans simply cannot substantialize or understand fully because the language we use limits us all... But somehow, I can feel that there really is something in me, screaming mutely at my face.
    I am dying to figure out what it is but I keep failing. What the hell is it?

    Everything feels like a big illusion lately.
    Nothing feels raw or real...
    I have lost my sense of reality, it seems.

    I am standing alone,
    not a part of the illusion I am living in. I am a glassy-eyed spectator.
    That is what is making me feel so lonely.

  • It's happening again.

    Yes, I'm again, withdrawing from all social activities, basically.

    I'm having trouble dealing with other people's problems lately so I haven't been active on Teenhelp and I'm just... not up for much at all socially.

    So for those of you who are kind enough to leave a comment on my weblog entries, thank you very much but for a while, it looks like I won't be replying to them or giving feedback.

    I don't know how long this will last but it definitely sucks because it makes me feel... weird.

    I don't even feel like writing about my feelings today. Don't really want to talk about it either. I just want to sleep and study and watch TV because doing anything more than that makes me feel intense emotions.

  • Todayyy.

    I'm not gonna bitch and moan today. I'm just gonna write about how today went. lol.

    Today was really...weird.
    Well, not really. But something completely threw my day off track? Sort of?

    What happened was that one of my guy classmates whom I've been talking to occasionally since he sits relatively close to me, tried to make out with me.

    That makes me LOL.

    But it was such a serious little moment. It's so WEIRD!!!
    I was gonna but then I didn't because well, I didn't want him to go talk to his friends about it and then the word will spread and that is something that I REALLY want to avoid from happening.
    I'm guessing he probably doesn't want people to know either, really, but I'm not all that close to him so I don't exactly trust him much.

    He's a nice person. He's fun to talk to but eh. I hate rumors... Especially ones like "They made out!!" at a school like mine currently.

    And I'm not desperate.
    It's been... What... 9 months-ish?

    So yeah. That was the first weird thing.
    AND THEN
    I found out that one of my friends is actually a lesbian.

    We were talking about changing seats in class and whatever and she said that she wants to sit as far away from the guys as possible because she hates guys.
    I asked her why and she just said that she finds them unattractive and gross.
    O_O

    So I asked her if she'd ever date a boy or get married one day and she said:
    "NO WAY. I am NOT sleeping in the same bed as a man."

    So by this time, I was kinda like hmmmm.... Maybe she's really lesbian.
    What confirmed my guess was this:
    "I really want to live with a girl. I have never felt any attraction to any guy. Girls are so much more sensitive and easy to get along with! Why bother dating a guy when I can just be with girls?"

    But maybe she's not attracted to men OR women. She's just... not attracted to anyone?
    Nah, I think she's lesbian. She always likes to hold hands with girls and gets really really close and intimate with some of the girls.

    This doesn't bother me much, though.
    I hate being touched with no purpose by anyone in this world because well, I hate the way people's touch feel on my body. It's just... Ever since that incident a couple years back, I just generally hate it.
    But the idea of her most likely being a lesbian and her being touchy feely with other people doesn't make me uncomfortable.

    It's actually kind of cool =]

    Tomorrow I'm going to take the TOEFL... I hope I do well on this one!! I need to get at least a 115/120 this time. ARGH.

    No school on monday cuz it's Buddha's Birthday <3
    I love living in a country with two major religions. haha.

  • MY dreams.

    I'm breaking apart (again).
    I keep wanting to cry and the fact that tears just won't fucking come out makes me wanna...

    I'm so frustrated.
    I have all this anger built up in myself about so many things and I am unable to release them.
    I am surrounded by things that anger me and I spend every fucking day dealing with things that I disagree with.

    I hate the way the education system runs in Korea and I hate my school.
    The way our homeroom teacher talks about students. The way he describes what being strong means... It's all pathetic.

    I hate him.

    But I don't blame him for the views he has because he is, after all, just another casualty of the Korean education system.
    I hate how much value studying is given. Today he said: "Studying and the exams are the most important things in your life. Other things are minor and don't hold much value at all."
    I wanted to scream at him for that.

    When I look at the people in my class, I can't help but to feel sorry for them. To me, they just look like a bunch of robots or poor little gerbiles forced to work and pursue things that barely hold significance in life.

    I hate how after so many talks about how I should pursue whatever I wish to pursue; do things the way I want to, mom is again on my ass about how I need to get into the top two schools in Korea.
    I should've known that she hasn't let go of all HER dreams for me.
    This isn't the first time she's done this. It has always happened. I don't know why I believed her this time around. I shouldn't have.

    I'm so extremely upset at this.

    So upset at the education system and the fabrication of fake dreams and brain washing. Torturing kids and stealing their creativity. Making everything systematic and meaningless.

    Everything is about competition. Everything.
    Everyone's standards are the same so everyone keeps on trying to meet that same old standards. Everyone's running for the same exact thing! No wonder 90% of the people are not getting what they "want."

    There are simply too many people in this god damn world. It's way too populated so there's no time to rest. Everyone has to run for what they need and not want just so they can have food on their table every day. It's just like that game where a bunch of people have to run for that one chair left in the middle. Someone is bound to be left out.
    It's ridiculous.

    I hate it. I fucking hate this world and neither my mom nor my school is making it easier for me to pursue my own goals and my own dreams instead of their moldy and meaningless goals.
