Recently while scrolling through tiktok, the algorithm has been showing me spiritual related stuff. Something that has really peaked my interests in the idea of manifestation. The whole idea of manifestation as I have seen is that you think of something you desire/want. Then you hold onto the vibration you would have, or the feeling, if you had that thing. You then think about how you would also feel afterwards. You also think about all the things you would do when you have the thing you desire. After you hold onto the vibration you then forget about what you were desiring. The thing you were desiring will come to you when you are least expecting it. Then I also saw a different type of manifestation. This one you apply something to yourself, this one is more related to your image, and say that it will fix something. But you have to be positive about yourself first. An example the video gave was that you could apply location and say this will make your nose smaller. The idea is that by believing in it and trusting the process the thing you’re desiring will come true. The whole idea of manifestation baffles me. Manifestation is also known as the Law of Attraction, which is the idea that what you put out is what you get. The emotions you release and have is what you attract. So if you put out very happy emotions then very happy things will come your way and affect you. This whole idea is said to have originated from Buddha. The Law of Attraction is all about the power of the mind and the effect it has on our body. Apparently the Law of Attraction can be used to improve many aspects of your life. All from your body to your mental health. It can even make money come your way. The whole idea of manifestation and Law of Attraction baffles me. Like how does the universe allow somethings to be true? What if a greedy rich dude wanted a lot more money? Or what if some politician wanted more power and wasn’t deserving of it? Manifestation could be used in totally uncool ways. Is it governed? Does the universe decide who’s worthy and who’s not? Does it take a look at your moral principal or what you would do with afterwards and decide then? Plus the whole idea of Law of Attraction and Manifestation all relies on the self ability to believe. If you cannot believe that this will work then the feelings you are putting out won't be the ones you want back. Because you can be skeptical and just give out your false happiness vibes or body positivity if you can’t actually believe that feeling is real. The whole goal of Law of Attraction is to unlock your ‘secret’ self and be more aware of your feelings/emotions. Which is why this whole concept confuses me, but at the same time is very interesting. If you can just believe, then you can accomplish anything you desire.

Life is crazy right, like how did we get here. Some would say because of the big bang. But how did the rest of the universe get here? Has it always just existed? Isn’t that crazy that everything has always just existed? Like what created the universe, it couldn’t have just been there from the beginning right? It’s a wild thought. Like why are we, humans, here. Do we have a purpose other than to live and die? Is there an ultimate goal that we as a race have to meet? The idea of just existing to exist as a species just doesn’t seem right to me. But again I have no idea what the end goal for us as a race would be. Sometimes this whole experience of life just doesn’t seem real. Things feel planned. Everything seems like it was meant to happen, that things feel predetermined. Isn’t it odd how you will be thinking about something and then it happens, or something relating to it happens. Like I would be wondering if so or so texted me, then I look at my phone and there’s a text there. That could be coincidences. But most of the time when I think of something it tends to happen in a close time period of when I thought of it. Sometimes the whole life is a simulation theory makes sense. It’s crazy to entertain an idea like that, but this idea seems to be making the most sense at times. But if life is a simulation then who’s controlling it, or what’s controlling it. I recently found this webcomic called Miracle Simulator. In this webcomic the main character goes to a game store and finds a game called simulation. After playing it for a bit he finds that he is watching someone else’s life. That he can control/change aspects of it. He then realizes that if the person in the simulation game thought they were living a normal life, and living a true life in general that he could be doing the same. That the same thing could be happening to him. He then believes that things are just in a chain of simulation after simulation and that all simulations lead up to one guy controlling the first simulation. This comic just stuck with me, we could be living in a simulation and we would have no idea. But then that brings in the question on how we can think, move, feel. What if we just think we can do all these things, but we aren’t actually doing it. Or we are programmed into thinking that we can do all these things. It’s a weird concept to think about and not all of it falls into logical thinking when it comes to reasons why. But there are plenty of things in the world that can support the fact that we could possibly be in a simulation. Leaves stuck in the middle of the air, a large group of people remembering things that didn’t happen. Plenty of glitches, but still no solid evidence, and there probably won’t be. All we can do is just live this life to the fullest with no solid answers about our existence.
Lately, I have been thinking about just what love is. Why do humans fall in love? What exactly is love? Some say its a chemical reaction, but what causes this chemical reaction? I once read somewhere that if you like how a person smells its because their immune system is stronger than yours. I have no idea if that’s actually true or not. But, if it is, does that mean love is just based off the idea of survival of the fittest? If love is based off the survival of the fittest, then what does that mean for lgbt+ relationships? Does it mean that their brain truly believes that being with the same gender is the best chance for survival. If that’s the case then that's a mega dis to the opposite gender. But then that also brings in the question, that if love is not based on the survival of the fittest, then why do we love? Why do humans develop this emotion, why do we experience it? Why do we experience any emotion really? Where in the long line of evolution did we decide we want feelings? Did we develop feelings to better detect pain? It would be weird to live in a world without emotion. But we wouldn’t notice the difference. If we lived in a world without emotion, there wouldn't be any paintings, or form of expressions. There would be nothing to express, the world would be boring. Maybe that’s why we have emotions, so the world isn’t as lame as it could be. Maybe we experience love so we don’t feel truly alone in this big ole world. Love brings people together, it brings families, and significant others. It brings a feeling of home, and trust. If we weren’t meant to experience such a complex feeling of love, then the world would be dull. Sure love can be stupid sometimes. People that you can’t help but love, even though they have wronged you over and over again. Love is a form of attachment, it connects strings of life together, it brings interconnections. It brings all sorts of emotions with it. Passion, hope, happiness, sadness, guilt, and so many more. But this again brings me to the question what is love, what makes it up. Love /ləv/ noun an intense feeling of deep affection. The dictionary describes it as a feeling of deep affection. But is love just affection? Affection is the fondness or a liking. But think about all the things you love for a moment. All the days you wake up and think “man today’s going to be great,'' that moment when you just feel a deep love, if you will, for life, for the day to come. A love for the future, for all the upcoming moments. Love cannot just be defined, its undefinable. You cannot give just a solid definition, it's something you need to go out and learn. Love is not just a love for another person. Love is all the moments you keep close, all the times you’ve smiled and held onto it. All the times you’ve cried and still carry those tears with you. Love to me, is all the moments where I look back upon and see growth, see reform, see how much I have learned to improve. All the moments I look back on my past self and see how better I am now. All the sunsets, sunrises, and all the inbetweens of the time I’ve spent. The time I have spent experiencing the things this life has to offer me, and that’s not a good view on love, then I don’t know what is.
The person I want to develop into. That doesn’t really make sense. I don’t hate my current being, I don’t hate my personality. I just think it could improve. I think I could improve on a lot of things. Like not losing my temper so quickly at times. Or paying attention and actually caring about other people when they come to me for help. I want to develop into someone a bit kinder, I feel like if I could just be a bit kinder, I could be a better person. But right now I feel like I am already a better person. I know that sometimes I just can’t for the life of me deal with others, I also know that sometimes I can. I know that I have a somewhat bad humor, and that I can’t talk correctly half the time. But I don’t find those traits bad, but I wish that they were a bit different. But, to try and purposely change some things about myself, could I accidentally change my whole self? Could I actually change my whole self, and personality? Could I change too much and become unrecognizable to all those I care about? I know people who did a whole 360 with personality, and I wasn’t a fan of it. They changed in kindness though, and not for the better. But is that hypocritical of me? It probably is, but some people change for the worse. Some ways that I wish to improve myself, is with style. I kinda love my current style, but it could be better. Cooler, more exciting shirts. More mom jeans, and cooler socks. There’s also little changes that I could make. Like my hair, I could change up the style I wear. My dad is always getting on me about that. He wants me to try a different hair style. I could change that, and slowly change things about myself to fit this persona I have in my head. But is changing my appearance, changing the inner self? Everyone seems to think that by changing appearance, they are changing on the inside too. But I personally don’t think that’s true. You could change your whole style to goth, and be super sensitive inside and caring. Some people think that changing mannerisms also changes the inner self. Like I could give myself the trait or mannerism of I play guitar, but would that change my whole being? No, it wouldn’t. You can’t revolve your whole self around a trait, I cannot say that I breathe and make that my whole being. Yet, sometimes I wish you could do that. I could make myself the girl that plays guitar in media and such, and dress and act like that. But I wouldn’t be different on the inside, because like I said it would all be act. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, can I change myself without it all being an act? I would like to believe I could try, and possibly succeed.
If theoretically mermaids existed how and why would they work? Like how would they reproduce? Would they just kinda like lay eggs then the males would fertilize them? Or would the females get pregnant? Or would being a mermaid would like be getting a disease. Like you would get turned into a mermaid. Like in folk tales, mermaids would lure sailors into the sea with song. So what if the sailors got turned into mermaids once successfully lured into the sea. But that brings in the question of the original mermaids. Did they evolve? Then did they evolve even further to be able to recreate more mermaids by song? Or was the first mermaid some unlucky soul fall into the sea and found this disease dormant? But that brings in the question how is the disease spread? If the mermaids are seducing the sailors with song is it spread by a kiss? Or is it spread by a mermaid biting them? So it gets into the blood flow? Does the disease wipe the memory of the sailor? Or do they remember everything that has happened to them? Is the disease just limited to those at sea? Could any turn into the sea? Like someone who has drowned or someone who willing walked into the ocean, hoping to find something? Like maybe a diver, looking for lost treasure stumbles upon a mermaid, would they get turned? I would assume that the disease isn’t just limited to sailors. That would make sense for female mermaids. Since in the older times they didn’t allow females to be sailors. What do mermaids eat? Do they eat fish? But couldn’t that be deemed as cannibalism? Or do they not eat? They have to be able to sustain themselves off some type of energy. Maybe they get it from sunlight? Like they do photosynthesis like plants? Or maybe they get it from the water, and draw nutrients from it. Or they consume plankton. But then that brings in the question of a digestive system and how they release unwanted waste. I would just like to think that they just don’t eat. Also how do they breathe? Do they have gills? They probably have gills. They take the oxygen out of the water, probably like how they would absorb nutrients in the water. If being a mermaid is a disease, then if there is a way for them to be cured of this disease? Or is it a disease that lasts forever? What is the mermaids lifespan anyway? We haven't found any remains that proves that they exist, so does that mean they last forever? But if they lasted forever then overpopulation of them would be an issue. What if when they get cured then they turn back into a human. Like once someone who has fallen to the ocean get turned, the mermaid that turned them takes their place. That would work, and solve overpopulation. Then it gives the mermaids a reason to spread this disease. But how did this disease start? Was it a curse fallen onto an unlucky person because they annoyed poseodian? The disease probably started like most viruses start, with some type of mutation in a bacteria. Mermaids eyes are probably different, like the moment they turn are they just immediately adapted? Because the ocean has salt in it, and that would really sting normal human eyes. Would their eyes adapt so they can see better underwater? Are mermaids just limited to the ocean? Or can they also be in lakes? That could happen right? But how would the disease get carried over from the ocean? Maybe a lake connected. But how would it spread further from that? Maybe someone captured a mermaid and transported it. But then mermaids in lake would have to adapt to that environment. Their eyes would have to change, and the colors of them. Since they would have to blend in, and the bright flashy colors associated with the ocean would out them right away. So muted colors, and different eyes. Would they hibernate in the colder regions? Or would they continue to chill underwater in the winter? They would probably continue to chill. Do mermaids stay in the shallows or in coral regions? The colors of their tails fit more into the coral region. So with the current coral crisis, are they endangered of losing their camouflage? That would mean they would have to adapt into different colors. Would mermaids make a social hierarchy? Or would they not care, since their only goal is to turn back into a human? They probably be loners, since friends is competition, so that rules out a social hierarchy. Anyway mermaids are weird.
