Hey, so this is an introduction of me to a philosophy forum. I don't really have much of an introduction, but I'll do my best to tell you a little bit about who I am. I'm only sixteen, so don't expect much. Okay, first of all, a little bit about my life: I lived a pretty decent life up until I was about 12. Those years were years of bliss, ignorance, and naivety. I enjoyed it but I can't say that I want to go back, because I act childish enough as it is. I feel like I'm still trying to mentally be a kid. Anyways, when I was about 12 my parents separated, and when I say separated, I actually mean they exploded away from each other in flames of hate. And after the explosion, me and my siblings were the only remnants of their former life, so naturally they were very selfish in trying to collect those remnants and keep them to themselves. It was a painful divorce period of about three years, particularly because they could not get along with each other at all and my siblings and I were always in the middle.

I mean, its not like there wasn't a reason for the divorce.. They hated each other, my dad had multiple affairs, and they never agreed on anything. But it still hurt. I would actually say that the three of us (my siblings and I) coped very well. Anyways, its almost over now, but they are still fighting for custody, or rather, my dad is since I live with my mom.

Meanwhile, my life still goes on and I still search for myself, and the meaning of life. That's why I'm here.. to evaluate myself, my actions, and my values, as well as to have them evaluated by those that are more wise, intelligent, and experienced than I. Because, I don't have anyone in my personal life that I can talk to about my problems.

That's why I'm seeker, because I seek.. just as we all do. It just seems to me that I'm the guy that always ends back up at the beginning of the maze. I'm constantly changing and making little if no progress in my search for myself.

Okay, I think that was a decent intro. But it was a long one, so forgive me if I repeated myself or didn't include something you think I should have. When they get long like that I tend to forget what I wrote earlier in the post and make some mistakes.

Sincerely grateful,
S
