I Wonder How:

I wonder how something so extraordinary could become so ordinary in its own contradictory extraordinary way. I wonder how something that is so beautiful could become so ugly over time. I wonder how someone so perfect on the outside could have so many problems on the inside. I wonder how the world was created. I wonder if there really is a God or is he just another Santa Claus myth. I wonder how the people upstairs can smoke so much. I wonder how Asian horror movies can scare me so much. I wonder how a huge pool like the one in Cornell court can be so warm at night. I wonder how humans can create such a mess of this planet. I wonder how even we can take up so much space in…well…space just from trash and debris. I wonder how hole-in-the-wall restaurants can taste so much better and more legit than franchised restaurants. I wonder how fish can sleep with their eyes open. I wonder how people can be so kind and yet so mean and destructive. I wonder how we ever elected someone who does not have an IQ higher than a monkey as a president. I wonder why it is okay for guys to sleep around with girls but when girls sleep around with guys they are called sluts. I wonder how zombies are capable of capturing my attention for six or more hours. I wonder why my laptop won’t turn on. I wonder how my family is. I wonder how my dad is doing. I wonder what everyone is doing right now. I wonder how it is possible for muffin tops to jiggle. I wonder what it is like to be fat. I wonder how anyone can let themselves go to that level to be that way. I wonder how people can be so stupid. I wonder how long until I am done. I wonder how I can wonder about so many things. I wonder how the people of Roanoke disappeared. I wonder how the Egyptians were able to make curses. I wonder if there is life out there other than here on earth. I wonder if the government is lying to us about a lot of things. I wonder why we can’t all get along. I wonder how there can be so much hate in the world. I wonder how people can kill other human beings because someone “murmured” to them to do those heinous acts. I wonder where I am going to be, in life and location-wise, in five years. I wonder how I will look in ten years. I wonder what it feels like to die. I wonder how we are all going to end.
