Hello, welcome to my world.

"There's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will." - Hamlet, Hamlet by Shakespeare

At this moment, I am sitting in English and watching Hamlet. We just got to the part where Hamlet is holding the skull of Yorick and pondering the existence of people, and comes to the conclusion that people were from dust and will return to dust.

Now, at this, I saw the infusion of Christianity within this play, and laughed to myself. As with the quote above, it shows Hamlet's belief in God. Attending a Catholic institution, I find this little ironic. The quote, in our modern English, says God shapes who we are and it is a little futile to try to resist God's wills for the future.

I find that cripplingly pessimistic.

I'm not a big believer in God. I talk to him, sure, but not as reverently as I'm sure my teachers and the Church would like me to. I pray to him, but it's more like talking to myself and asking Him questions that I will never get an answer to.

Including the pathetic "Why me?"

I have so many reasons to ask that question. one coming to mind immediately being my diagnosis of depression.

And saying thus, I get to the point of having this blog.

I think Shakespeare is affecting my speech at the moment.

So this is a Hello, welcome to my world.

Contradictiong, emotional, intelligent, observant, music loving, obsessive, hopelessly romantic at times, shy, outspoken, loyal, honest, sarcastic, pessimistic, optimistic. This list goes on to describle what I am.

But I'm sure nobody cares what I'm like. You've probably stumbled upon this by accident.

I'm sure things will be more interesting in the future.

I really am rambling now. And I don't know how much continuity this holds. But do I really care?

It's a journal open to the world, something I've always wanted to do.

So, welcome to my world : ]
