1st/Chaos Entropy exists everywhere, chaos swirling all around us, engulfing our pathetic delusions of order and control as easily as two swift fingers might extinguish a candle's flame. We lie to ourselves as much as to each other, as though meaningless tautologies ("you'll meet her when you meet her") will somehow make any difference to our never-ending hunt for happiness. Happiness itself is a curious concept. How constantly we search for it, a million ways to attain it, a hundred we might try. Science might try to explain it; chemicals in our brain; dopamine, adrenaline, endorphin release. I know that when I throw myself from a plane speeding far above the ground, clothed in my wingsuit with a parachute strapped to my back, the rush of the drop blasts my senses and I feel alive. Alive is merely alive. Simply living is overrated; real happiness isn't found in biological mathematics, but in emotional pulses that might take months or years before they rise to the thunderous surfaces of our minds. I do not subscribe to the concept that every single person has one single person waiting out there for them. I can't possibly afford to. I fell from what I thought was happiness with a girl not too long ago. What I do believe is altogether more complex. Given enough time, any two people could come to desire nothing more than the company of the other, regardless of their origins, for all we need in #life is time. Time is unstoppable: the only force that may bring about the end of anything by it's mere passing. We each possess a finite amount, growing closer to the end at a definite rate of one second per second, so is it not pointless to allow that time to trickle away unlived? "People never change" is a lie in the purest sense, utterly false under both empirical evidence and perceived thought. It doesn't take much time for every cell in each of our bodies to die and birth anew, until we are just a different collection of molecules that just happens to look like us. And we change emotionally too, every little event in our minor lives shaping us, forming us into the people we needed to be. If two people stay with each other, eventually the change will become nothing more than a bond between them, a bond that grows stronger with every passing minute together. It's out there. Happiness is waiting for us, we just need to he brave enough to take the leap. And if we fall, it means nothing but that we will rise back up. I'll find happiness. And if you look for it, so will you. Goodnight.
