Well, let's see. I'm just a normal kid of 18 years. I've had it pretty rough and I try my best to help other people since for the longest time I had no one myself. I'm an EMT and I like to think I save lives. I have saved lives. It's such a rewarding feeling, really.
I wish I could do more though. I want to be someone. I want to be someone important. Someone who remembers me and knows who I am and the good I ended up doing. But, what to do and how. Like, my blog name. I'm a wanna be superhero. I wanna change the world, but I've no means of doing it.
Yeah, I understand that just doing small little feats can help to make things a better place. But, I wanna be bigger than what was ever expected of me. I was expected to not amount to anything, and well that sucks. I am doing well for myself by my standards, I think. I'll soon have a very well paying job. I'm helping to support my family. (That being my mom and little brother)
Who knows, maybe something will happen that will lead me down a path that will let me change lives in a bigger way than what I do now. We'll see.
I don't understand how Christians think Atheists are damned to Hell. I myself do not believe in God but even if I'm wrong and don't believe in God I'm not a bad person. My morals are not messed up. I genuinely care about people and I am a good person. But, whatever. That was a random thought. I just want to do something good with my life.
Hey Paxton,
ReplyDeleteI think it's really great that you want to change the world and save lives at such a young age. I'm 17 and about half a year ago I also decided I wanted to change the world. I go about this through kindness. I help out people both online and in my own life. Though I'm not an EMT, I've also saved several lives by talking them out of suicde.
The past months have taught me a lot. One thing that I want to share with you, is that you can't just wait for that "something to lead you down a path." Chances are, you'll wait forever. Avoid delay and start now.
If you want to start, but don't know how, please email me. A guy our age just contacted me a few days ago who shares our same goal of changing the world. He does this by writing books. So, though our ways to change the world are different, we do share the same goal, and are all pretty much the same age. I guess what I'm saying is, we could help eachother, bounce ideas off eachother, support one another. I dont know, just an idea.
As random as your last paragraph was, I loved it. I think the same way, as I am an Atheist with a Christian family. If heaven and hell exist, I want to go wherever Mother Teresa went. I can by no means compare myself to the good she has done, but she did not beleive in God either.
So anyway, I love that you're dreaming big and your blog, though new, is quite impressive. Regardless of whether you choose to contact me, I look forward to reading more about your journey in the future! Oh yeah, and my email is Invisible_princess@aol.com
