I just, i don't know what to do anymore.
I slept celebrating a new year, ended up waking with my country fucked over again
I sleep, and i wake up the next morning hearing about the news.

This caused me to spiral into having so many deep thoughts and ideas that i had on my own and i thought that i might share it with you guys, and you could tell me what you think?
I don't believe in fate. Why should i live my life if my path is already chosen for me, why should i play if my hand has been played for me.
Ive never been quite religious, but i always seem to think about a god. Was it luck that i didn't go? Why should others die while I could've died too.
Many may tell me, "but what about syria? They go through this everyday"
I feel for the people in syria, i hate what they're going through. But i won't be trying to save another man building while mine is burning down.
I also, really really, don't like the president and what he's done in the country. I don't like the idea of having a million (3) refugees roam freely.
Get it?
Id like to hear your thoughts.
Happy new year!

In my opinion, while I believe in God, I don't believe that fate is set in stone, but malleable. Because you're a person with free will, you have the basic freedom of choice, and there can't be one fate set for any person, but rather anything that could happen, can or has happened (basically Murphy's Law) at least in this reality or in another reality (

I think what you're probably experiencing is
