What Do You Care What Other People Think?

Who considers

 that everyone always speaks of others’ problems happily, with smiling faces.

It’s a dangerous world in here, Jeremy, and it needs a hero. My time here will be short, but someday we’ll achieve peace.

I had huge plans to post something amazing here.

But then I realized that tumblr is really quite boring.

I used to come here for some instant gratification. Looking at space pictures, cool new science discoveries. They made me feel good inside. I was getting a glimpse of a cool new world.

Now I’m not really sure why I’m here.


I used to think I posted cool, intellectual things every time I posted.
But then I took a physics class or two and realized how much I did not know.

I used to think that it was cool to look up and see the bigger pictures.
But then I started to look down and I realized how much I was missing.

I used to think it made someone smart if they knew the abstract to a science paper.
But then I read a Physics textbook and realized the elegance of the procedures.

I used to think I that being ahead of your peers was an achievement.
But then I realized that my pride was hindering my progress.

I used to spend my time on tumblr.
But then I realized I enjoyed life more when I studied, so I haven’t stopped.


I will learn it all if it’s the last thing I do.

I have the disease of wanting to know how the world works.
Not to be bound by delusions or political agendas.
Just facts. What is true, and what is wrong.
I crave understanding.
It hurts, the fact that I don’t get it all. The longing hurts.

I am gonna go to bed now.
Time to get 6 hours of sleep.
Then I get to head back to school.
I get to head home. 

Those who fear life are already three parts dead.
