there isn’t any time.
i’ve graduated high school now, and at this pivotal moment, the only thing i am sure of is this: there isn’t any time. any time to do everything, to learn everything, to experience everything. there simply isn’t. and that, i think, is the biggest let-down that i’ve received from life.
perhaps it’s my own fault. i’m cursed with an inquisitive mind! but i think if i could redo it all, i wouldn’t change a thing. after all, yearning for knowledge isn’t always a bad thing.
two days ago, i had the privilege of attending the academic all-state banquet in tulsa, and from there, i seriously developed my quest for knowledge. the key note speaker, fareed zakaria, inspired me to do so. he spoke of world affairs, government, politics, and it was at that point that i realized i was interested in all of it.
i’m pretty sure my friends think i’m crazy. why in the world would i want to spend my life studying? what’s the point when eventually we all arrive at the same conclusion (death)? and i say, that’s exactly the point.
we are only here for a rationed amount of time, and i want to take it and make the most of it. i think i’m here for a greater purpose. to make a difference in the world and to absorb as much information i can about everything before my counter runs out. and that, i think, is why i was born and what makes me who i am.

i just wish there was more time.
