something greater than us

The feeling you get when you have so much to say but you don't know how to word it is frustrating. If we could show someone our feelings without words, without pictures, without sound... if we could show someone our feelings by transferring it to them, I would do it. Because feelings are the only genuine thing we have left that can't be duplicated or manufactured.

I'm not a believer of many things. I don't believe in God. I don't believe in 11:11. I don't believe in birthday wishes, shooting stars, rainbows with pots of gold at the end, or 4-leaf clovers. I believe that there is a spirit or being that is out there somewhere, who may have or may not have created life. I believe that 12:34 is a very cool number, and that's all it is: cool.

I'm folding 1000 paper cranes to decorate my house room and my dorm room at university, 500 each respectively. I had no intentions of making a wish, because I don't believe that folding 1000 pieces of paper does anything but turn something flat into an animal. I had no intentions of making a wish because I was afraid that if I made the wish I would be wasting all my hard work to fold the birds on something I probably could achieve just with money or hard work (that doesn't involve origami). Wishes just don't come that easily.

I don't believe (in) many things, but I believe this:

One day you will meet someone and they will become a truly significant person in your life. They will become so important - more important than anything - that you'll do silly things like origami because you've realized that their happiness is worth every single minute you spend folding a piece of paper.

I guess I believe in love.

    you don't believe in some things, but you do believe in others. I think we gotta believe in something because that gives us hope.
