An End Has A Start

What a beautiful day for a rapture.

It's quite ridiculous how some people are legitimately convinced that today is the end of days. Although I must say, I'm kind of enjoying all the attention this charade is getting, and I honestly wouldn't be too upset if the world did in fact end today.

Now I know that sounds depressing, but I don't necessarily mean that in a gloomy or pessimistic aspect. For me, the concept of death has always had a certain allure to it, ever since that day as a young child when a morbid but very serious thought first hit me - we're all going to die someday. That concept has been on my mind fairly regularly since that day, and I believe it has changed my outlook on life. I've become a generally more optimistic person (maybe a little less so as of recently, but life naturally has its share of up and downs) because I've grown to appreciate the wonderful people and the beautiful world around me, and, in keeping with the "live each day like it's your last"-mentality, I've been trying to put a positive spin on even the most negative of situations.

I've always been a big fan of closure. For instance, as much as I don't want some of my favorite TV shows to go off the air, I typically tend to enjoy series finales the most because I enjoy seeing how everything comes to an end. And honestly, our lives are the greatest stories ever told. So you can really blame me for wondering how it all ends?

Luckily, the world will not actually be ending today, and the show must go on. I'm excited. We've got lots and lots of story left to cover.
