why he made it the way it is.
Enough of this religious stuff now. I know that most people don't really want to hear about someone's beliefs unless they are of a similar faith. My brother and I aren't very religious, and I guess that's what makes us so real to one another. We aren't guided by faith but by sheer ambitions and dreams. He's attending college for Lacrosse but he's majoring in Computer Networking Systems. God didn't give him the drive to work for it. He drove himself to get into college and work hard to graduate from it. Just as God hasn't ever guided any of my actions. Most people will disagree with that statement. I just reminded myself that that last paragraph wasn't supposed to be about religions. I guess I lied.
As each day approaches for his new beginning with college, now ends my last summer of true happiness with my brother. He's growing up now, and I really don't want to accept it. Whenever I think about it, it always seems that life is going by too fast. My brother's leaving has just proven that. I don't mean to sound obsessive with my brother, it's just we're so close that it's hard to grasp that we will be separated not only physically, but slowly it's going to eat at us until the next time he visits. Even now I can feel a hole tearing it's way through my chest. No words can really describe how I feel right now.
I've told myself to live everyday to it's fullest, and it seems that I'm wasting it by sitting in my room typing on a computer, or down on the main level watching TV. Life as it seems hasn't become exciting anymore. People waste a quarter of their lives in school, and they waste the rest of it working to live. I have no clue how to change that system, but it just seems wrong to me. I've seen Europe, I've been to places no normal person would visit unless they had time and money. Most of the kids I chat with in school haven't even been out of state. It's extremely depressing that all these sights I've seen that are amazing and beautiful things haven't yet been discovered by those friends closest to me.
My best friend's mother has taught me that every day should be cherished. She taught me that no one should be frowned upon because of their social status or economical status. She taught me that even those who are less fortunate than most, deserve kindness, love, care, and the respect that they probably have never had. There are amazing things that people could be doing if they were driven to smile to everyone they meet, to help out when someone is in need, and to be kind to every living creature on this Earth because we don't know how long we will last. I may have been depressed earlier in these pages, but life is always too short to stay sad or angry. It's better to live every waking moment as if you had just been born and are exploring the world for the first time. I wish everyone could see the things I see from day to day, because they wouldn't treat anyone differently than themselves.
