Day 5

In case you haven't figured it out, I will talk just about everything. Boyd calls me a 'keyboard warrior' and I don't think he’s wrong. I really can't stand the type of people who call each other names or insult each other on the internet. I just don't get the point.

You’d think that traveling two worlds would give me a bit more insight into the human psyche, but all I've learned is that humans are the most unpredictable beings in the universe. A great example of this was a man that I met on one of my journeys.

This man was terribly afraid of fire throughout his entire life. He wouldn't cook with fire, light a fire to protect him from the cold, no he would rather freeze and starve. When the war got worse, he decided to take his own life. He didn't drown himself or hang himself. No, he decided to burn himself, do the thing he was the most afraid of. This has puzzled me ever since. Why would he do that? Was he making a statement for those he left behind? It pains me that I have no way of answering this question.

It all comes down to the purpose of life. The biggest question in the universe. A question that thousands of people much smarter than me have written countless books about. From what I've gathered the biggest purpose of life is simply to love.

I have never felt more alive than the moments where I experienced love. When you care about someone so deeply that you put their life before your own. Getting a letter from your crush in high school, kissing your husband or wife, holding them in a tight embrace. Never have I felt more alive than when I opened up my heart to love. There have not been many people in my life that I can truly claim I've loved. There are my parents, my sister, Boyd of course, Sophia was another, but there used to be one more. A lover, a man, that I met in the other world.
