That was beautiful
Apollo! Welcome to the forum!
But dang, I'm surprised I never found this jewel before!
Kind of a nice variation on the "meaning of life" thread, if I say so myself.
This is a very, very good question. At times I forget why it is I'm doing what I'm doing, and I need to take some time to think about it, to put things back in perspective. Every time I do, I learn more about myself, my purpose, and my resolve.
I think I've reached one of those times again. *sigh* college does that to a person, eh?
I live to learn, and I learn to love.
I better myself, learn more about myself, and through that, I learn to love and appreciate those around me all the more.
I was once an introvert, cared only for myself, cared only for my peace and solitude. I was a fool. That was a long time ago, and while my destination may remain the same, my path has changed beyond what I would have believed. Life is the journey after all, is it not?
Ah, I love to learn, to challenge my current beliefs. I love seeing things from new perspectives, I love being proven wrong. For every time I do these things, I see life in a new light, in a way I hadn't imagined possible, and it shows me all the better just how beautiful life is.
Ah, I suppose the most artistic way to say it is that I live to love, but I'm truly a slave to my emotions like anyone else. Albeit my emotions have evolved and my tastes have refined into something... well... lets just say very complex.
That may just be wishful thinking on my part, but I am what I am, at I at least think I'm doing what I do for my own reasons, and that's good enough for me.
Peace.
