I love looking for and reading quotes by famous people or even not-so-famous people. Good quotes are surprisingly hard to find; it must be hard to make simple words sound elegant when arranged in a sentence. & that's what a quote is: simple words combined to create a powerful or influential message. Here is one by Eleanor Roosevelt, an inspirational lady. It seems everything she says is memorable.

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."

I actually have a lot of favorites, I'm just really bad at trying to remember them.

So the other day, Mrs. Mellera said something that I had a vague impression of hearing before. I probably did, but it stuck this time. "The only thing you learn from high school is how to find the answers." But I don't think that's true, because high school is way too short to teach you how to find answers. & isn't that what we all want? I want answers. I want a lot of answers. You want answers. We want answers. But answers... is what we won't get. Only questions. We will spend our entire life chasing answers that don't exist. What will I become? Will I be truly happy? Where will I go with my life? What happened to Amelia Earhart? (Haha, jk) But the only thing that comes with these questions, are more questions. Not answers, not even close to answers. My theory is that as I start finding little clues to these questions, I will understand a little more about the next question, and the next. & pretty soon, I will have a lot of clues that I have to spend my entire life stringing together. Not to create an answer, but to create another question. Does that make sense? Probably not.

Anyways, my mom is surprisingly bright today. She said it was because she finally took a nap. & now she is making me lunch. I miss my mommy's cooking. To me, its always comfort food. Today was Rhodan's birthday party but I was too scared to ask my mommy to go. Right now, I should be doing homework instead of sounding like a wannabe philosopher but... I don't know. I just had something to say.
