I had a wonderful and warm Thanksgiving meal with family and friends. It was the most fun I've had at a family holiday because I'm finally old enough to actively socialize.
The next night though, I received heart breaking news which rattled my faith in humanity. The following few days were sort of hard. I had so much fun with my friends but there was always a dark presence in the back of my mind. Never before have I witnessed something so evil; consuming, destroying and ripping apart love without even being present. Luckily there was a huge balance of love and warmth and kindness the whole weekend. I hung out with all my closest friends. I went to the Occupy Irvine camp which was near enlightening. I can't believe the momentum and passion of that little village, I'm definitely a supporter. Coming home made me realize how much I appreciate my home and how much I miss it. It almost made me realize fully so many other things:
I'm becoming an adult, I can feel it happening.
I always have to look out for myself first.
We as a people and as individuals have the power to change anything.
We are all creations of this universe, we are the universe, creations of the universe to observe itself.
Most importantly,
I have already won at life because I have won at love.
I've realized the people around me are the most important and most valuable thing in my life. The love I feel for my friends and family is stronger than any evil.
