Dearest Diary,
Here I sit, another night, pouring out my thoughts, hopes, worries, and desires into you.
Tonight they are mainly thoughts, because all I can think about is where I'm from. Not just me, but us. Where we are from. What we are. Because where we are from has to be one of the biggest parts of what we are.
I think about creation a lot. Most of the time I think about how we are made up of tiny atoms.
Tiny little worlds is what I called them when I first seen a model of an atom. I mean, it makes sense, that is kind of what they are. A nucleus, the energy storage in the middle, with electron clouds far, far out, but still part of the atom.
Kind of like our solar system. It has a sun, which has all the heat and light energy we need in the middle, with planets out circling it.
But when I start thinking about that, I think maybe each of us is built up of billions and trillions and so many more little solar systems, capable of supporting intelligent life.
What if, for every atom that makes everything up, there is a solar system, complete with star and planets, nucleus and electrons? Our galaxy we see could just be a giant group of atoms, perhaps looking at the very fabric that makes us all up? Maybe when we look out at the stars we are actually just seeing the makings of what we are.
But what if we are just a pin prick of life in unimaginable amounts of atoms? Maybe inside of us are whole worlds, not only worlds, but worlds inhabited by life?
Billions of life forms inhabit our one planet, in our one solar system.
Maybe we should look past how important and unique we all seem to think that we humans are? I don't know, but I have so many questions, and I could spend all night thinking of more, maybe some things might never be answered.
I think about God a lot too, about what's holding our society together.
Maybe most of what people think and say about God is just myths that humans made up to help them sleep better at night?
God, made in humans image, or humans, made in Gods image, that is the real question that keeps me and countless others awake at night. The question of who was created first.
But I can't lie, we humans would probably be a mess without something or someone holding the moral of society together.
Without God, what would our society be?
We are all people, living on the same planet, all trying to keep to our own agenda. If there is one thing that I believe, without any doubt at all in my mind, is that everyone has there own agenda. Maybe there will always be people being manipulated, but it is always because they believe that it will benefit them, or their family, or there people, so they are following what they believe is best to further the future of what they care about.
I think about all of this, the questions I can't answer, the ideas almost too big for me to handle, and I know that I will lose more sleep over these things, but then again, I am only human, and we humans are never satisfied with simple answers.
Until next time,
Kaitlyn
Author notes
This was random-ness thought up at 2am. I hope it's sort of what you wanted, but if it isn't, I'm still realy happy with it, I let out alot of thoughts when I wrote this.
Hope I do ok in the contest, and I hope no one realy objects to anything I said in here, because I'll admit I'm only 15, which means that I'm probably stepping on alot of toes writing about things I don't know all that much about.
Love & Peace

"Maybe when we look out at the stars we are actually just seeing the makings of what we are."
Wow, Kaitlyn. I'm honestly having a bit of trouble in saying how much I was astonished by this. I'm a lot like you, in that I think about these things all of the time too, even had a few sleepless nights myself. Even still, you brought up many new things, things I'll probably be thinking about at night now.
I love the way this was written, a journal entry yet still reads like poetry, at least to me. Looks like others agree though, congrats on the silver. Obviously well deserved. You never cease to amaze.

Very Deep.
I enjoyed this a lot. I am kind of ashamed to say that for someone younger than me you hold a deeper train of thought. Perhaps it is true, perhaps not, but the important thing is, this was well written.

It's probably not true, I just have alot of time on my hands, and I can't ever stop thinking. But I'm sure I'm not unique in that aspect. =]

Finalist.
Anyways, yes this was good.
Now to comment on your journal entry, I am very glad that you let out thoughts thru this contest,glad that i in somewya helped,also WE were created in God's image meaning that not that we are LIKE him but were made somewhat like him...Anyways I dont question a lot of things ebcause i beleive in God,Jesus,the holy spirit and i've seen Him be real in my life.And as to your questionand what you say..yes what holds this world together is God, a lot of us beleive in God cause we do sleep better,but also cause other reasons such as what He has done in our lives and such things.
Anytime you wanna talk just message me.
Thanks for the entry.
