Day 22: Happy Earth Day! :D

Yaaay, hopefully you did good stuff for the Earth, or you atleast didn't do anything too horrible. :P

Kay so I'm not gonna talk about the speech or world domination today, instead I'm going to talk about another quote from Looking For Alaska, which is by John Green.
"Those awful things are survivable, because we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be. When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail. "

And isn't it true? We do think we're invincible. Nothing bad will ever happen to us right? But it does, it happens to us all the time. And it's not exactly what John is saying in this quote I think. What I think he's saying is that we are much better and faster at getting through the rough patches because we're so young and think everything will be fine again. Idk, now I'm kinda starting to confuse myself, but back to the invicible thing, the point I'm trying to make is that when stuff happens to people chances are they were thinking it would never happen to them. That girl with lung cancer thought she'd never get it because well it'll never happen to HER. That boy who died in the car accident didn't think anything would happen if he was going just a little over the speed limit. We do things that are extremely stupid because we think nothing's gonna happen to us. But it can happen to us.

Now I'm not saying you should go live in a bubble, but just be aware and know that it can happen. Cause you've got to take risks, but you can't go risking your life at every turn. It's all about finidng that balance. :)

So today's culturefest performance was goodish. Honestly, it's been much better in past years. And I think it was a mistake getting rid of booths. But oh, well, they can do whatever they want I guess.
