Wow! I’ve been meaning to comment for sometime. I just mainly have remained silent and happily read your blog over the years. I just think that it is time to say something. I know you wrote this a while back, but I know where you are coming from girl! I too am really hard on myself. The main pressure in my life comes from the expectations that I have for myself. I’ve been around for the shutdowns and I have been there myself, Allison.

This spring has really tried my soul! It is hard to remain positive at times you know what I mean. It seems like when I take a step forward, I just miss that anvil by the slightest touch. I don’t know if it’s karma, test or trials of our creator, but man it gets difficult at times.

Then I have to get some perspective. I have a home, it was not distressed in a recent tornado here in STL or in the recent southern disasters. I have a new beautiful newborn baby boy who was born 7 weeks ago with a healthy set of lungs (especially @ 11:30 pm!) and everything else! I have a great family and some great friends too. THESE are the things I have to grasp for and quickly search for when I feel like things are becoming overwhelming and sucky.

Totally felt like you tapped into my mind and my own thoughts of existence here. You have a friend who exists here in the Midwest for sure. My thoughts and prayers are always with ya!

This is something I ask myself a lot too… Once i read… somewhere… that life is like a play… and what you want to do… is to live it, to experience all you can, to learn everything you can, to enjoy it… just before the play is over… thats what i want to do… thats what i tell myself when i ask that question… because i should not care if i exist or not… if its just a dream… like u said… it shall be the best one… if its not… then it is even more worth living… why not?!

I also saw Waiting for Godot. John Glover was absolutely astounding in it. I am so impressed by his acting range (going from someone like Lionel Luthor to Lucky is fantastic).
I’m glad you wrote this- explaining how you understood the show. It’s such a transcendental thing- really hard to grasp and can have so many different meanings.

well, i dont know what to think about life anymore. i have been thinking about this kind of stuff for quite a while now, and even though i am a christian, i still have trouble sometimes asking myself “What’s the point?”

But you bring up a good point that i guess i just kind of been “skipping over” if it IS “just a dream within a dream” then:WHY? but then again: WHY NOT make it a good one.

Allison,
Cliches run amuck when blinking philosophy stares. The bard once said dreamers often lie. Metaphysical thoughts, sarcastic rants, and pure, honest curosity are apart of this life. Jesus Christ, the Creator of all things, is the Way, The Truth, and The Life. If anyone truly is interested in this train of thought, check out my site. Cool work on Smallville by the way. Take care all.

Well as a writer I tend to think that we are all characters on the big book of life (written by God for the beleivers and/or the universe and/or life for the nonbelievers) sometimes in our life we play comedy, sometimes drama, sometimes we are just inspirational or self help characters so all of us have our places wether as leads or supporting characters.
The only think we really need to make sure is to be entertaining because when we are not we just disapear from the plot! So yeah we are as real as any character ever is, IMO.

when I was younger I questioned everything about life…
the main question was:” is there more to life than we can see?”
my answer was: there’s gotta be more…

if you stop and stare to life itself we have to start with, is there really life in this world and if we live, how do we know it…
I live cuz I think but do we really think..

to conclude my conclusion: if you’re asking things about life or life itself, you’re ending up with more questions than with the one you’ve started.

“If this is just dream within a dream, I am going to do everything within my power to make it a damn good one!”

just make the best of it….

The universe is a grand thing.It is so huge and vast.And on earth alone there are billions of humans.I always wonder how does one make theirself signicant with all the billions of others in the world.I think it is with our family and friends were we find our existense to hold somthing of importance.It is nice to meet a stanger and leave a good taste in their mouth though,if you know what I mean.The questions of “what is our purpose” or “why are we here”,will always remain in the deep recesses of our mind.I’m not sure if we’ll ever find out while we are living.Most likely not,it would have to be when we die and leave this planet.I do like that we can choose for the most part how our destiny plays out,I think that very much deals with a great part of our existense as humans.

One of the beautiful things about being human is that no matter what a thing is, we can always make it something else. We can make meaning. We can take something negative and make it positive. We can face our fears and turn them into triumphs. The possibilities are endless. “What is” matters less than “What Can Be”.
