Ranting #1
Claire WIlson

Is the world the way it is because of fate? I mean seriously, do we actually have no say what so ever about what goes on in our lives? Is it all down to one person planning ahead what our lives are going to be like, what career we have, the shit we go through. Is it all just one big game plan? For centuries people have been wondering why we're put here, maybe there's not reason at all, I mean think about it, why are ants here? What greater purpose do they serve? Am I just so incredibly naïve that I can't see past my own insecurities about life? Does everything happen for a reason? If everything was left down to fate then why was suicide made a sin? If we ourselves don't make any of our own choices, how can we make a choice to end our own life? People come in and out of our lives, leaving us with memories, some good and some bad. You would think that maybe the person or thing in charge of everyone's destiny would give people a break now and again, but somehow that doesn't seem to happen to me. Maybe I was incredibly bad in my previous life if you believe in that. Maybe I'm just unlucky, or maybe this so-called thing in control of my destiny just hates me. Its all the same really thought isn't it? I mean we're only here for a short while. No one can be immortalised and life forever can he or she? Maybe through they're work, music, books, poems but one day they will be forgotten. New, more talented people will come along and replace them. Pretty depressing thought. Once I'm gone, yea sure people will be sad, but they will live on, and yes with memories of me, but when they go who's going to remember me then? Stories will be lost in time, and I will be forgotten, just like everyone else. For all I know, I could go on to change the world, just like so many people before me, but in the midst's of time all I will be is a name in a history, a name history students will remember for a test and then just as quick forget. I just suppose that's the way life is, not just for me but also for everyone. No one can see into the future, no one knows what I'm going to do in my life, not even I'm too sure. All I can hope for is that time will pass slowly enough for me to do everything I want to achieve, but time passes by, like everything else.
not exactly coherent but everyone interprets things in different ways
