Final Blog – Voices Project

The two most influential ideas I learned from my research was that:

1. Making a person your source of happiness is never good, and 2. Whether you choose to follow fate or free will, both are very present pathways – it is truly how you live your life that determines your future. These ideas impacted me a lot because in current situations, I too know what it feels like to tie my source of happiness to an individual, and felt the pain and seen the hardships that come along with doing so. This is something I would highly recommend people stay far away from doing so, because if that individual does not express requited love and attention with you, as you can see through Clare’s thoughts in the novel “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, it can cause you to lose sense of reality, and ultimately yourself. Fate is tied deeply with religious beliefs, but also practices concerned with philosophy, astronomy, astral experiences, and spiritual connections. No one knows for sure if the fates coming from all these different backgrounds hold truth, or if just coincidences are made, but free will is also something that is highly proven to work in life, and we see it everyday. I hope people will learn that these issues are very common in relationships, friendships, with family members, with pets – quite anything can cause a person to have such a strong and sensual attachment to another being. The levels of intensity for this infatuation, however, matters gravely, because once one goes too far, and cannot see them being happy without them in the slightest, thoughts like betrayal and anguish occur.

During my time at NNHS, I learned that we are all on one big floating rock, so if you ever feel completely defeated at something, just know that other opportunities will arise, and that you can still do what you want in life. Keeping your circle small but close is probably the best thing a student can do during these years, because it is these people that are going to influence how you are/see the world, and how you grow as a person. To future NNHS Seniors – spend more time doing what you love with the people you love as soon as you can – once the months of May and June hit, you will realize there are only a few more weeks till you may have to leave that all behind. Enjoy what you have while you can, and make the best of memories doing so, because what this year holds is what you will truly remember about high school.
