Woooooweeeee!!! My first ever Gaia journal entry...I don't have many friends on here, so I figured why bother...
As of the lately, there's been something that's been bothering me...I've read an article about Global Warming and all that other fun jazz. Supposedly, there's supposed to be mass global extinction by 2052.
Mass...Extinction...It hasn't been all over the news...I've seen nothing being done different. It bothers me. Does anyone care? Does anyone even know? Obviously we all know Global Warming is not such a good thing.
Frankly, we deserve it...We have made this poor planet suffer enough. We've all contributed one way or another. This was bound to happen. I'm not saying this ever was or is our fate. I was never one to even believe in fate. But did factories listen when they were told to filter their smoke...stack...thingies (I don't remember what they're called)...?
I'm not preaching or anything of the sort. I'm just meerely expessing my concerns.
I was talking to my boyfriend about this kind of stuff today before he went to work... He thinks it's a good thing. I agree to an extent. I like life...lol. I want to be able to have children, and not have to worry about them starving, or suffering because of what is to come. It's sort of made me think twice. It's always been one of my number one goals in life to have a baby. But now I'm not so sure...
One of the other things we talked about was the up and coming "Apocalypse." According to religious groups, ancient cultures, philosophers, and even some scientists, the year 2012 will be the end of us all.
STOP BREAK...
So I just did a little research. http://www.apocalypse2012.com/us/ is a very interesting book site. You should check it out. December 21st, 2012. Eight days after my 24th birthday. Four years from this December. What's going to happen? I know dwelling on the future isn't exactly the way I want to live my life. But if I don't?... Will I be here to experience the rest? Maybe all of this is just a bunch of overhyped, paranoid bullshit. Maybe it isn't just related to the sun and our solar system. Maybe there really is a God and he's saying, "Hey...It's time to wake the ******** up." Won't know until we get there huh?
I've always been afraid of death. There's so much I want to do before I die. I used to be able to envision my future. Decades down the line. But as of the past two years, I haven't been able to. I could only see about a month down the line. I didn't start thinking about the world's end up until very recently when I saw that article. Extremely dangerous and HUGE solar flares... Record breaking Tsunamis... Devastating earthquakes... Category 5 hurricanes... Hurtling towards a highly charged interstellar energy cloud... It's crazy... Will I ever get to write an award winning novel like I always dreamed? Will I ever raise my own family? Being an astronomer was always on my list to do. Ode to the irony huh? lol.
There's just so much to think about... What if this is just like the year 2000? The big Y2K...What a joke that was huh? I remember sitting in my atic room, watching T.V. and counting down the seconds. Three... I laughed as I saw people hauling tons of bottled water and canned goods into their cars at the super market... Two... I asked my mom what she thought, and she laughed as well... One... I stared at the T.V. waiting for nothing to happen. Just fireworks and people jumping up and down screaming, "Happy new year!!" That was what happened. No impending Y2K doom.
What if this is the same thing? Well... You know what I mean... It's obviously not the same thing, I just meant the same in the matter of nothing problematic will happen.
Maybe I should just accept that fact that we're all going to die... and there's nothing we can do about it...
As for now... We'll just have to see...
