The future is a strange concept to me. The way I think of the future is how I think I will end up in x amount of years. This of course is just a guess, a figment of my imagination and at times it can bind me down. At times this imagination can get me down, make me sad and change my mood. But at other times this image is full of excitement and hope and makes me adore life and find beauty in everything. For these times I have my camera, so I can get out there and show others that hey, it's beautiful in this world, and things are only as good or as bad as you make them out to be. And might I suggest sharing your love for your passions to everyone, because who knows who you can inspire. I know I've been inspired today.

The reason I talk about this is I've been thinking about the future the wrong way lately. There's a guy in my computer science class who is just so excited for the future, excited to get his hands on technology and actually do something productive in his life, that's his goal. That's where he finds happiness, and the best part about his happiness is he can control it, to a fairly high degree. He can control how successful he will be in the future. Maybe he finds his happiness this way because his family hasn't been so successful, and so he grew from it and has found that hey, my future really means a lot - I'm going to get passionate about it.
What I need to take from this is I need to find something that can forever entertain me and enthrall me that isn't another human being. Maybe I'm too concerned about my future with finding someone to share it all with when relationships are about dumb luck and timing. Two things that are nearly impossible to control. And anyways, I'm not looking to settle down yet, it's college time for me. There's gotta be someone out there to learn and grow from, to become a part of their life for some time and either stay or realize it's just not going to work out. Well, I guess only time will tell.
