Well it seems life's been taking some pretty violent turns, so I feel like trying to be a little more open about who I am. Not that, well, many people actually read these.

I'll start with my beliefs.

I believe that every emotion and feeling we can experience is a form of energy. Energy is indestructible, can not be created, and can only be altered into new (or different) forms. Our emotions are forces that impact how we think and ultimately how we feel about everything.

However, that means that they are also non-conscious, unthinking elements. Happiness doesn't choose people to be happy, people choose to become happy and: I believe they can maintain it. It's the same with Sorrow, or depression: there is no one looking down on you to make you feel the way you do: you do.

Life is often likened to a roller coaster ride: with plenty of "ups" and "downs". In nature, everything goes from High to Low. Feelings, as I'm sure everyone has experienced: is similar. A "good" day can turn sour within an instant, leaving you with a "bad" or "low" feeling that could persist for quite some time.

My reasons, if I had to justify this is simply how laughter, happiness and all other emotions or feelings are infectious. People laugh in crowds, at the same joke: even if there is some variance.

Which leads me to my next little point: not everyone is going to be as happy as another person that's happy. That's because I believe, that the forces at work can't or aren't able to extend to everyone with equal force. We all have our own natural well of emotions and feelings: enabling some of us to be pessimists or optimists. Some people are naturally unhappy, and the opposite is also true, but that's just how we cope with our lives.

In the end, my outlook leaves me with a choice and a question: How do I feel?

I've chosen to be happy, and I'm aiming to keep a hold of it. No matter what happens.
