Mood: disillusioned

I've come to the realization that there is no after life. There is no higher power. There is only us and what we see. If a tree falls in the forest, it makes no sound. There is no tree, actually. There is only what surrounds us. The internet and television lie.

I still think leprechauns are out there, stealing our socks and jewelry. I believe that wearing a Saint Anthony medallion will help me find my camera and prevent me from losing my phone. I think my Great Grandmother Ester follows me around, influencing my decisions. I am convinced that the only reason witchcraft doesn't work is because I'm not doing it right and I should consider joining a coven. Puzzle talks to me. Karma keeps the universe intact and our world will end if things are not balanced. Bob Ross was put in charge of painting the sky every thirty minutes and the moving clouds are just wet paint. Wearing a rosary means surrendering to Mary's prayers and is a practice that will save us in our most desperate hour.

I lose touch with reality. I know these things are completely absurd. There is no scientific evidence in favor of my beliefs. These are the lies we feed our children so they do not feel so alone when we cannot be there for them. These are ideas that help us through each day.

Faith is real. Reality is what we perceive.

I perceive leprechauns.
