Faith

The plan was to sit here and say how important it is to have faith. But I can't do that just yet. There's a major problem here first, and that is that I'm not sure if we actually should have faith.

I was going to say that everyone needs to have faith in the world, God, fate, or whatever they want to call it. This is important because it allows us to live life with confidence and without anxiety. Any human who has ever stopped to think upon life would agree that life is much easier and better that way. It doesn't matter exactly what form of faith works for you, whether you just know things will work out, or whether you think you have to sin as little as possible so that God will allow things to do it. The latter doesn't work for me because I'm agnostic; I'm very skeptical about a lot of things. And as I was about to write this I realized I guess I should stop to think before I explain how I love the first view, because how can I be sure everything works out? After all I'm only 18, only a freshman in college who's single barely has a grand in the bank.

How can I be sure things will always work out, or at least always work out for good people, when things have not yet worked out for me. Well this may go against being agnostic, but I just know that it will. At first this will sound cocky, but I'm too good for things not to work out. I'm too smart, too loving, too caring, too unique, too hard working, too talented. And I know that even though I premised by saying it would sound cocky that it still sounded too cocky. However, that's how almost everyone should think because everybody out there has some great qualities that allow them to get through life successfully as long as they give a damn. And for those of you who know me, you know I give a damn about my life. Pretty common to one versed in philosophy is the statement that everyone has basic beliefs. And I believe that faith can be a basic belief.

I know that things will work out for me, but that doesn't mean I don't get impatient sometimes. But hey, I don't have much to complain about right now, do I?

Thank you. Keep faith. I'm here for you.
