The Second Topic: Relationships

     This is another topic that I'm kind of picky on, in a sense that I could probably write for about an hour about this topic alone. But I'm going to try not to, because this would probably be very annoying to read if I did that.

       The way that I view relationships is a little, how do you say it, skewed. It might be due to the fact that I've never had a girlfriend in my 16 years of life (as of writing this, idk what'll happen in the future). But still, they're necessary, you know? If you don't have anybody to talk to, you'll begin to go crazy. Humans need something to take care of and communicate with. We need that companionship, or else we'll collapse. Going a few days without talking to somebody is probably fine, but going months on end is probably not a good idea. You should always have at least one person to talk to in my opinion. Even if it's about something that neither of you like, just the act of talking with somebody else could probably put your nerves to rest, or it could flare them up. I don't know you, person who's reading this. It could have the complete opposite effect if somebody uses it, it's different for everybody. Though I would recommend finding somebody who cares about you.

     It's really strange though, how 16 years can fly by and nobody wants anything to do with me. It's kind of funny, but it's also kind of depressing. Not that I know what that feels like, it's more like the feeling of being down for an hour or so, that's what I'm trying to convey here. Feeling depressed and depression are two different topics that line up in the same subject but they're very different. I'm not trying to say anything bad about either one because both are problems, though one is much more major than the other.

     Relationships though, they're complicated man. I have my own little group of friends that I play video games with, but we never actually hang out all that often. The only person I really see outside of school is one of my friends that doesn't even play video games with the other group all that often. It's strange, you'd think we'd hang out more but we don't. It's ok with me though, I'm kind of antisocial in that aspect as well, so I don't mind.

     What separates an intimate relationship with a friendship, though? Like, I could be chill with somebody and be friends with them, but what action crosses the line? Nodding to each other in the hall seems fine, fist bumps are alright. But sometimes you say something that you judge as alright in your head and instantly regret it because of this reason or that reason. It's strange.

     That's probably all I'm going to write on this topic though, it's much weirder than I expected and it took a weird turn, but I'm just vomiting on paper here, so I guess deal with it?

The First Topic: The Universe & Existence

      So we're starting big, going straight towards one of the biggest topics that I think about on a daily basis while lying awake at three in the morning. I'm basically just going to write down my thought process when I think about this. I apologize ahead of time if this is just one long run on sentence.

     When I think about the universe and existence, I usually first think about perspective. Perspective being the point of view that I experience everything. But then what happens when you go to sleep? When you're awake, you're constantly viewing your surroundings and experiencing them one way or another on a conscious level. What happens when you fall asleep? Does everything just disappear because you're not viewing it? Have you ever heard of Schrodinger's Cat? It basically says for this equation, you put a cat in a box with a flask. You also put a geiger counter in there or something that allows you to view something that's happening inside of the box. You break the flask, which is filled with poison, and it kills the cat. But something or other about quantum physics gets involved, and then it states that the cat is both alive and dead. But when you open the box to look inside, the cat is either alive or dead. So this kind of lead me to believe that if you aren't observing something directly, whether it be touch or smell or anything of the sense, hehe pun, then it ceases to exist, but also exists at the same time.

     My point being, when you're asleep, you're not observing the universe because you're unconscious. Therefore, by theory of teenager that doesn't understand quantum physics enough to really get the meaning, when you're asleep, the universe ceases to exist and also exists at the same time. It's kind of a mushy brain thingy. I don't really know how to put it.

     But this also leads me to think, "What happens when we die?" Do we just go onto another world? Does the universe cease to exist? Does everything happen again in an endless cycle of purgatory and life? I don't know, but it leaves me with this empty feeling in my stomach and I honestly hate it, how it feels, that is. It also leads to a different question, though. Like, why are we here? Why does anything exist in the first place? Is there a higher, four dimensional being or are we on our own? Is immortality possible through science? And if it is, will the constant collapse of the universe eventually kill that immortal being?

      This is why I can't fall asleep at night.

Introduction


     Well, I don't know why I'm doing this. But I figured it'd be nice to have this here just in case anything happened. Also, it'd be nice to get this out there, if only so that people can understand my state of mind and/or how some people might think.

     This is going to be a collection of the thoughts that I have while lying awake at 3am staring at the ceiling while I try to go to sleep, because these thoughts creep in and out every now and again in my experience, and I decided to put these somewhere so that I won't lose track of them.

     These topics may include (but are not limited to):

        1) Time
        2) Death
        3) The Universe
        4) Age
        5) Experience
        6) Friendships and Relationships
        7) Etc...

     I hope you enjoy my slow and steady descent into madness as I write down these posts!
