History is in my mind, something to learn from. This may be a cliche but that is all I think about it. There is not really a point in time that truly defines me. On a religious note, the teachings in the bible and Jesus are the most influential things in my life, but belief goes beyond history. These things influence me greatly but I cannot say it is really me completely. Each day is a new perspective and a chance to build on who I am. Although I respect time, I believe there is a place where I do not have to live under it's weight. That makes whatever time I have here more precious. History is of other's journeys and I would rather focus on my own, and on the people living right now. I will take the time to look some of it over, however, because I know how things are right now are a result of what has happened in the past. One cannot live without the other nor without oneself.
