Some people have this huge obsession with death. Skeletons and dark magical rituals rule their lives, and some even wish they were dead. But death is inevitable, and it's going to happen to you. I find myself less and less interested in deathly things because it scares me, a bit, I think. Why should someone focus their life on death? You're going to be dead far longer than alive. Then again, a lot of people find inspiration in death, in painting grim reapers and things and I understand them. Death is unknown, and the unknown has a lot of emotions concerning it, including beauty and wonder. My mother never understood why I was so fascinated by death, by violence and blood. I write about callous vampires and werewolves, and find so much beauty in the devastation or corruption of things because then there is so much potential for rebirth. My version of rebirth is often a transformation, sort of like a larva into a butterfly. From earth to air, a grounded concept that morphs into a spiritual ideal. I like to listen to music that touches on concepts of death, or dangerous emotions, and religion because they are so powerful and relatable. I was in class and my friend say how the phamaceutical business is always seeking new ways to rejuvenate one's skin, how the medical industry is constantly seeking a way to prolong life, but it's all for naught. There is no fountain of youth and there is no going back, not for us. We humans are intelligent and emotional beings made to live experiences that cause pleasure and happiness all the while getting through tough times with pride and confidence.
