   New Year
I haven't updated in a while but I felt this was necessary. I'm sorry if anyone finds it offensive, but in a way, I don't care. I am a Christian if you don't know it so this comes from a book but I feel anyone can, looking beyond the scripture, get something out of it:

"I keep working towards that day when I will finally be all that Christ...wants me to be." Phillippians 3:12
Fulfilling your potential
What you set you heart on, will determine how you spend your time and energy. It takes as much effort to live an unfulfilled lief, as a rich rewarding one. The human brain has 2 billion megabytes of capacity, which means you have lots of room for growth. One of the most rewarding things you can do this year is--work to develop your mind. Proverbs 29:18 we read: "Where there is no vision the people perish" Dissatisfaction doesn't come from an absence of things but a lack of direction. Too many of us are marinating in our own misery because we've settled for less than God intended.
The quelity of your life is determined by your vision--and the effort your willing to put into fulfilling it. So make a written list of the areas in which you'd like to grow, then tackle the 3 or 4 most important. And don't get discouraged if the one you're working on doesn't want to cooperate. Remember, nothing great is ever created suddenly.
Paul said, "I keep working towards the day when I will finally be all that Christ...wants me to be" Notice, it's a process; you have to work at it! Some days it'll feel like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back, but don't give up. It's better to die for something than live for nothing. And unless you try something beyond what you've already mastered, you won't grow. So, what're you waiting for? LIfe? It's waiting for you; get going!

Me again: this is not going to solve everyone's problems but I thought it was very insightful. I was thinking last night about why all my fan fics have the main character *the representation of myself* sacrificed/suicide/martyr. And then I realized that it was because I wanted to people around me to realize I exist, I have purpose, and I want them to feel sorry for not getting to know me better when I was I live. That's very spiteful of me but it's true. But that spite isn't worth much since in a few days everyone will move on, no matter how close they were to me. If I really want to make an impression, death won't cut it. I need to make it in life by fulfilling any goals I may have. So that's my challenge to the rest of you. Death won't accomplish anything, for all we know it's more painful than this world. Instead make use of what you've got and prove to the rest you mean something without having to give your life. OKay, that's my ranting. Let me know if that made any sense whatsoever. I'm going to sleep.
