And after all, it's what the fightings' all about.

Lately I've been wondering as to why people are the way they are and I've come to the conclusion that no one in this world has a frigging clue as to what they are doing. I wish there was a hint button at any given midway in life. I wish you could look at someone you know and just say: "Dude, I fucked up, hit the button, I don't know what to do." But one of my many mantras that I live by is as follows, nothing in life is ever easy.
I recently gave up the facade that I don't believe in God. I never thought it would be some melodramatic event either, like a talk with my roommate, not to minimalize our amazing conversation or anything. I always expected my revelation that God was looking out for me to be something profound and present itself as a major event in my life. I was shocked to find out that the more I thought about it, the more and more I realized I was not as agnostic as I previously believed. Now this does not mean I'm going to get on my knees and profess my undying love for the Lord, not just yet kiddos. I think at this point I'm simply glad to have dropped a bit of a burden for now.
I'm tired of being useless. I'm sick of my inability to share insight or affect anyone elses' situation and when the time comes for me to help, I feel like I'm trapped in a bad dream where everyone always says "it's like my legs are Jell-O" and all that crap. The only thing is it isn't my choice to act, it's the person/people I want to help, they don't want my help and it kills me knowing that I can only stand by and watch two people tear themselves apart because they're too damn proud to admit their flaws and refuse to ask anyone on the outside for help. I feel like I have no mouth sometimes, especially when I know that asking if everything is ok is only going to piss people off further. I give up in that respect and I can only hope that people will open up to me.
So I realized that after my conversation with my roommate that whoever coined the phrase "God works in mysterious ways" was a fucking genius, not only because of the fact that I had a bit of a revelation, but because not 12 hours later a group of students from a philosophy class stop into the library and asked us a whole bunch of questions about God and creation and such and it was kind of refreshing and a slight wake up call for me and I laughed a little bit before they left and felt like spilling the beans about my findings.
I guess I always wished I would be endowed with some amazing knowledge of how to help people when I got closer to figuring everything out.I guess that I was a little wrong. All I can do now and watch as everyone changes and gets over their losses and rebuilds. People enjoy settling and I think it scares some people, and after all, thats what the fightings' all about.
