A journal-styled look into the concepts of light, darkness, hope, despair, love, heartbreak, and all manner of other things. Admittedly, this isn't my usual style of writing, since it's not so much fiction as it is a look into my thoughts, but I hop...

Hello dear friends,
Today marks the beginning of something that I think might not just help me, but maybe help others in a similar way. To my friends that read this, they may actually get a bit more of an insight into my thoughts and why I think the way I do. Be warned, the following entries from here on out may become more of a prolonged ramble, and also will not be posted in regular intervals either. After this entry, I will make a list of what topics to talk about in the following entries, but for now we start with the most basic concept in my mind: the 'nothing'.
Nothing is everywhere, but it's just not seen because it's always filled with something. We as people don't notice that nothing is there, because the only time we feel it's there is when we really do have nothing. We fill our lives with different things so that we can ignore that the nothing is there, but in reality it is there and nothing can change that. It's not necessarily a bad thing that we have nothing in our lives; the nothing helps us miss people when they're gone, and makes us realize that we need something when we feel empty and voided. Whether we fill empty due to lack of affection, lack of joy, lack of company or all of the above, the nothing allows us to feel that we are empty and thus allows us the ability to try to do something about it.
So, I ask you, why is 'nothing' the absolute basic concept in human history? Why talk about this concept as well? The answer is because we all came from nothing. We begin as nothing, but live as something before reaching the final curtain as a memory to pass on through the ages. The universe began as nothing, no matter if you're religious or believe in fact. Only from nothing can something be created, but also know that something can turn to nothing just as easily as well.
I do recognize the fact that sometimes something turns to nothing, and that not all things last forever. Eventually that something will turn to nothing, but that gives way for that nothing to lead to something. Maybe I'm just ever the optimist and this is all but true, but I'm never one side or the other, my friends. I'm a pair, a duality; two sides of a coin that will always change its outcomes. I call myself and optimist, but what's optimism without a little pessimism? And in that regard, what's pessimism without optimism? But I digress, for that's a topic for another day entirely.
I believe that is all I can say on the topic, my friends. I hope that in some way or another, this can help people not just understand my thoughts, but also understand their own. Help people form their own views and opinions on basic concepts in our world, you know? Until the next time I write, this is goodbye from just another nobody.
