I live my life for no other purpose than to bring entertainment to others - and hopefully from that, education and enlightenment. Not "enlightenment" in the sense of knowledge or understanding, but in the sense of literally shedding light on or brightening their moods. My beliefs are...strange, for lack of a better word. I strongly enjoy and agree with most Rosicrucian and Hermetic ideologies, but there's something about chaos magic and its base principles that really speak to me. When lumped in with Freemasonry and a Catholic upbringing, there's some muddling of beliefs.

My overall meaning comes from a variety of places, as noted above, but I guess to determine what I derive it from in the most base terms would be the following: I attempt to be a builder of spirituality and morality for both myself and others I meet. I try to blend sex, death, and humor in with more traditional ideals to create an adapting system of understanding and belief that won't become stagnant with time. I believe that magic exists in the form of the imposition of one's will on the universe. I acknowledge that we are all immortal in the sense that the matter comprising us and the energy we generate and expend has been around since creation and will remain until the end of all things. I do not fear death, and my purpose in life is to brighten others on any plane we can connect on - mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual.

I'm glad to hear you've figured out your meaning for your current stage in life, but don't be afraid to embrace change. As you continue on your journey and broaden your worldview, there will be many moments and events which will impact your character and further refine it. As you mature further, your purpose for living may change. Do not be afraid of chaos, be respectful. Embrace the growth, even if it is painful at times. Above all, be honest with yourself about who you are. We are our choices.
