This book is basically where I can just let everything out—all of my questions and wonderings and complaints concerning the workings of the universe.  Please feel free to respond to any of it with your own beliefs—I quite enjoy learning about different faiths and such and welcome all chances to challenge my beliefs.  This is meant to create an open environment for such discussion, but disrespect will not be tolerated.  Other than that, I hope you find this interesting!  Enjoy!

What exists in this book thus far I can only call pretentious, and I can make no claim that will change if I find myself adding anything further, though I will hopefully prevent myself from writing anything...quite as prescriptive as what already exists.  Though I have considered rewriting the existing entries, I've decided it would be more loyal to my own history to leave them be and merely write new ones to describe my current thoughts and beliefs, and so more accurately illustrate my own growth.  It seems a valuable thing to me, to show the messiness of my adolescent years, to recognize it existed and allow it to be.

I...feel I must say, however, that "Epiphany" and "Epiphany, Part 2" are especially presumptive, and I humbly request you interpret their calls to "you" as the author speaking primarily to herself, in a tone of joyous wonder at a thing she has just discovered about her own, personal experience of life.
