Live your life for yourself...

Or live for the struggle at best.

I'll start with my views on love, and romance.

Most girls I know are lovers of romance. A rose on a birthday, a candle lit dinner, or a teddy bear with an 'I love you' heart on it. I don't like that. Well, it's not that I don't like it, I just don't want it. If I had to chose between going out and having a laugh with someone, or a pile of presents and someone declaring their love, I'd chose the first. I don't need presents and gestures to show me how much I mean to you. Just tell me. It's so much easier and more sincere that way. Another thing is I don't do Valentines Day. To me, it's simply, another day. Why assign one day a year, purely for declaring your love for someone? Why do you feel the need on that one day to tell them you love them? If you loved them, why not tell them anyway, and not need a kid in a nappy to tell you to do so? When V-Day comes around, I treat it like any other day, because that's what it is. And to make my opinion even more negative, I also believe it to be a holiday made up my companies to sell more. Just saying.

Also, 'soul mates'. I don't think that there is one person in the world who is destined to be with one other person. You meet someone, and you fall in love. There is no destiny about it. You just meet them. Everyone will fall in love one day. Even I can think like that. But to say that there is only one person you will ever 'truly' love is a bit far fetched if you ask me.

Speaking of which, I don't believe in destiny. What is it? "An event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future". That's what Google said when I asked for the definition. Life is not planned out for you. People say you make your own destiny, which I guess you do.. But isn't how you live your life up to you, and not preorganised? If I decided to dye my hair red, but dyed it purple instead, or it went orange, was that my 'destiny'? No, it's something I did. A factor in my life that I changed. Not something planned out for me.

I also don't believe in God, ghosts, spirits, or any of that stuff. The God people believe in is simply there as reassurance. And I don't deny that. Some people need to believe that there is someone looking out for you, and that it may give you comfort, but to me, it's just as made up as Harry Potter. The bible, and this may come across as controversial, is the first ever fictional book written. Well, the first testament anyway. I don't doubt there was a man named Jesus at some point. But God is just there as a kind of crutch, so people have something to believe in.
