the future, doesn't it scare you?

Best friends, son.




The future should be something that scares all of us. The only reason being that we have no knowledge of it. Sure we can plan things ahead, but what are the chances of your plans actually happening? You don't know. All you can do is hope nothing stands in your way. Sometimes, when the present feels so good, you tend to plan too much ahead. So ahead you can't really see it anymore. You become blind to the many possibilities that can get in your way. The only thing in your mind is that plan coming true. And when that plan fails, you really have no backup.

Another reason to be afraid is because you expect things to be some way forever, but then you open your eyes to the many possibilities that could interfere. That makes you afraid. One example I can think of is why some people are scared of having a best friend. COUGHCOUGH. It's just my thought, but I think the reason why some people don't want/can't have best friends is because they're afraid of the future. A best friend is someone you're really close to, someone you can entrust with everything that has to do with you. The thought of that relationship not lasting forever should be scary. Because you think of the thought that they might not be there forever, that prevents you from having a best friend. I think what you're just longing for is a best friend that lasts forever.

Another thing, about the word "forever," what does it really mean? Theres no such thing as forever. It's a word to describe as long as you can. Forever is an undefined time. How can something be forever if it's not aware? Even after you're dead, is it still forever? Ehh, I don't know. What happens after death? Meh.

Right now, it's really cold. I don't even want a jacket or extra thick pajamas. All I want is just someone in my arms.
