Where I Stand

Not much happened today. I got classes on Tuesday's and Thursday's so that's always fun! Uhg... not. Yea, but who likes school anyways. I'd get into more on that but no one wants to hear me ramble on about school.

Since nothing interesting had happened in life today, I'll take a moment to explain my position. I probably should have done this in the first post but hey. It's a little long, I appologize, but these are my thoughts. Here's how I see it:

Everywhere you turn, there's myths and legends (or more popular, fantasy books and all that). For thousands of years, there have been stories of mystical creatures that defy the norm that we know today. But are they just stories? I don't believe so. As far as I know, there's no PROOF for anything. But that doesn't really mean anything. The way I see it, if there's great magical creatures out there, they aren't just gonna pop up and be like "Oh hey! Look at me!"

Hundreds of hundreds of years ago, before there was any fancy traveling of planes and cars and whatnot, people on totally different CONTINENTS somehow all came up with the same stories. Take dragons for example, there's the Chinese dragon, Eropean dragon, another type of dragon in the Americas, and even another type in Africa. All of these show the same type of creature but thousands of miles apart! There was no way all these people were in contact with each other. So how on earth did they come up with this one singlur creature that we call a dragon? Simple. They must have SEEN one.

And that's my dream. To somehow find something, ANYTHING really, of the mystical world. Now, I will say this now and lay it down. I am not stupid. I don't go around messing with things I shouldn't be messing with. I don't go around doing rituals or spells or charms or whatnot. I don't mess with forces that I don't understand. I do not and never will mess around with witchcrafy or any of that stuff. I believe that there are creatures, beings, whatever you want to call them, that can use this stuff we call "magic" as a part of themselves. Just like we use arms or legs or a bird uses wings to fly or a fish has gills to breathe underwater. Just like a cheetah has the natural ability to run at incredibly fast speeds, so might something like a vampire be able to run at amazing speeds. I think it's a natural ability, not whitchcraft or dealing with demons or whatnot.

I supose many people would think this is weird. I am a grown person and yet I believe in things that most people toss away as fairy tales at age 6. Who knows. It's my one and greatest dream.

But I'm not ignarent. I understand what it would be like. Esspecially with recent movies such as Twilight, most girls are like "Oh! I want to be a vampire and get a smexy vampire boyfriend!" *rolls eyes* I KNOW things would NOT be that easy. No matter what goes on, whether it be vampire, werewolf, or anything else for that matter, SOMETHING is hunting you. It is NOT an easy life to remain hidden and alive. I do not knowing that feeling so perhaps I am a little ignarent in wishing for these things, but at least I understand it. Take a vampire for example. The most common beilf (which I will explore in more depth later on) is that vampires live either forever or a remarkable long period of time, drink blood, either cannot die or can only be killed certain ways, and have amazing abilites. People always think "living forever, yes!" But has anyone really thought about it? It must be an incredibly lonley thing. Everyone you meet or know will die in a heartbeat to you if you live forever. You'll be forced to move around for the rest of eternity, never able to stay in the same place because if someone recognizes your eternal life/youth, they will hunt you. Anything you dream of doing, having a family, becoming some great celebraty of a singer or actor or athlete, it's impossible! After just ten years (maybe!) people will get suspisious. You wouldn't be able to do a thing. And there are hunters as well. It would be ignorant and stupid to belive that, if creatures such as these existed, that there wouls not be people hunting them. Through some type of event, SOMEONE would find out and know. And imagine being on the run for eternity. Never fall in love, never have a normal life. Nothing. And there's the matter of blood. Now, whether a vampire has to kill a person or not is beyond me. I've never met one so I can't say for sure. But even if you do not kill a person, I imagine there's quiet a lot of mental battles. After a while, perhaps you'd get used to it, but that's a BIG thing. Most people never think about it, but imagine. What if someone came to you right now and said you could never eat anything else for the rest of your life and you can only drink blood. Now what do you do? Just think about it. In reality, the thought would really sicken practically everyone. Now, I can go on and on and on, but I'll end it there. Perhaps things don't sound so grand, hm? And yet, if you understand all that, I mean REALLY understand it, and can still acept it, then that's all right. God knows how long I've thought about these things. People are how people are. All creatures are how they are. We find a lion killed a gazalle and ripping apart its flesh and eating it raw perfectly fine. "A part of nature," we say. So, then, is this not part of nature?

Maybe it is a silly dream to hope for something to find me, after all, if you lived in this world, if you were one of these "magical creatures" why on earth would you trust a human? Though, I've never given up hope. Maybe someday... The future is full of mysterious things that no one can see. That's why we have these things called "hopes" and "dreams."

Till Next Time
