33.

I couldn't sleep so I thought it would be an appropriate time for an entry. I recently found a quote i had written down sometime in ninth or tenth grade that said "The world is not a place where you can sit and watch things pass by; it is a place where you must get up and make them pass by." I suppose that statement is somewhat cliche, but thinking about it further i wonder if it might even be a bit naive. Though we would certainly like to make things happen in our own lives, and though we definitely can make things happen, the amount of control we have over the big picture is limited. Sometimes life trying to make things happen is the best we can do and there's nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is that we do try. There are many people in the world that try to point others (sometimes unknowingly) in the wrong direction. Sometimes it is tough to see through smile and promises to the truth. We must all, therefore, try to do what we believe - or know - is right even if it's the more difficult or less clear course of action.
