The LovesickTheory

Wow, what an amazing couple of days! So many things happened in such a short amount of time - prom last night (which lasted till' morning), Twilight in the afternoon and Madonna's concert just a few hours ago. It's definitely mind-blowing.

It blows my mind how things happen so fast. Things that you've been expecting for years, months, weeks, and then, when they actually happen, it's pretty much surreal. Unbelievable. It's hard to believe that what you've been expecting so much is actually happening, right there in front of your eyes. That you are living that moment. And then, when you least expect it, the moment is over. It just flies. Time, flies. It goes so fast, you don't even notice it.

But, as amazing as it can be, that moment is held in your mind. It's like a photograph but with features. Every time you look at it, you see the place, you see the people, you remember the smell, you can hear the sounds and above everything, you remember the feelings. Sometimes you can even feel what you were feeling, or at least, recall precisely what it felt like.

And that's one of the best parts. The memory. The art of remembering such special things - things that went by so fast.
Your moment may have lasted hours, minutes, even seconds, but it will last forever in your memory. And there's no ticket that values more than this, for this is priceless.

Ps: "I'm not sorry, it's human nature", this part of the song is just stuck in my head. I just keep hearing this song in my head nonstop, it's crazy. I surely LOVED when Madonna played this tonight! *-*

I'm just done watching Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth", for the 4th or 3rd time, and it impresses me that it can still cause such an impact on me every time I watch it. I just can't help but be startled when I see such pictures like these (www.all-creatures.org/hope/gw/global-warming-pictures5.jpg or www.worldproutassembly.org/images/global_warming.jpg), it's just unbelievable.

What makes it harder to believe, is that we are the ones who caused this. We are the only animal breed who destroys their own habitat, their home. You don't see lions burning down the forests where they live, nor fish polluting their ocean. And you know why? Because if they do so, they die. They depend on this habitat to live. Now what are we doing? If we're destroying the very single thing that we depend on to live, then you could call this a collective suicide. And what's worse; people acknowledge this. People know what they should do to help the planet, they know what they're doing wrong, what's harmful for the Earth. They know all this, but they just don't care.

This can be even more impressive than the pictures, knowing that most of the people don't care about global warming or saving the planet for that matter. Furthermore, the generation who should matter the most about this issue, couldn't care less about it. I'm talking about my generation, teenagers, young people.
Of course, this issue involves subjects that are considered 'boring', 'stupid', 'irrelevant' by teens, such as politics, economy, biology. Despite all that, they must remember that above everything this issue involves their future, our future. And this should be enough for one to care.
There's no doubt that a seventeen year-old cares about their future. I'll bet most of them are expecting to go to college, get a job, get married. Others might not be so forward, but they're probably expecting, maybe next week's party or hoping to go on a road trip with some friends some time soon. Even though that's a short-term future, it's still future.

So why ignore long-term future? Why not care about it?
Luckily, not everybody fits in the "whatever" category, and we have people who do care, who do want to make a difference, who do want this situation to change and are doing, or trying, to do something to help.
We have over 6 billion people in the world, if every single person tried to do something to help, we'd make a difference, we would change history. We would save planet Earth.

So please, care, that's all I wish for now. I wish people would start to care, start to believe that we have one big problem going on. Someday, I truly believe they will. I just hope it won't be too late...
