What's something good about today?

I'm alive. That's good.
Barely, though.
Oh! I finished my essay for English, and it's really good!
Unless I completely didn't answer the prompt. That'd be awful.
It's not a very good day.

Free Write: Asphyxiation

I have been feeling this constricting... something in my chest/abdomen area lately. It's like I'm having a hard time breathing. Like I'm suffocating or something.
This would be a really good metaphor for my life, actually. If we were annotating for symbolism in a book about my life, then this would symbolize how I'm stressed about life and life makes me sad OMG.
I think I need to see a doctor for this.

Thoughts about the election

I am independent, bi-partisan or whatever you want to call it, but I just happen to be for Obama this year. I am satisfied, yet strangely apprehensive, about his reelection. 

What I like about Obama: equal marriage, energy plan, education plans, cutting taxes for middle class (I don't think the rich need more money), sending back the troops. 

What I'm iffy about: the economy (I...hope he doesn't screw up), abortion (kind of meh), foreign policy (LIBYA, NORTH KOREA?)

So, anyway, there are my thoughts. I have nothing more to say in my dazed stupor.

If I could change anything about the media, what would it be?

If I were able to change anything about the media, it would be the amount of bias that clouds all of the facts that the people actually need to know. If it were up to me, I would make it illegal to report falsehoods about news and people and political figures alike. This way, there would be less room for persuasion and more room for information. Society needs to know the truth about events and things that affect their lives.

Do we make the moments in our lives or do the moments make us?

I think that we definitely make our own moments in life. There are certain moments or experiences that are handed to us, and it us up to us to make those into something else. You could easily take a happy moment where you're frolicking in a field of flowers and make it depressing by making a big deal about getting bitten by a bug. Also you could turn a sad moment like getting bitten by a bug and make it happy by naming it Jimmy and setting it on a small leaf where it can roam free. Moments don't define us, we define them.
