___________ Beginnings.

Hello, my name is _____________. I run a blog called "The _______ Blog." What a __________ name for a blog, right? Well, this blog has a purpose. The purpose of this blog is so that YOU may be able to fill in the ____________s with own situations in your own life, and it may help you see life in a different perspective. Whether you fill in the ___________ in your head or leave a comment with your __________s filled in, it's completely up to you. What a __________ idea this blog is, right? Well, I hope you can find some sort of perspective from it and see that, in a way, humans can relate to eachother more than we really know... we just have to simply fill in the __________s differently.

Dear _____________________,

The date of today is ___________, the time is __________. It is natural for humans to look for happiness, and I think no matter what religion we are (I'm a _______ myself) our goal is to find things that make us... happy. so, where do we find it? I couldn't tell you. I've been looking everywhere. I mean, I try to find it in things in my daily routine, like when I ____________ in the morning or when I _________ to start my day. But they still don't satisfy. So I try buying things. I invest alot of my time in certain things I buy, like my _____________... I spend way too much time on it, and so do alot of my friends. And the fact is, I don't really think it's addicting afterall. At first I thought it was, and I would just blame my wasting time with/on it on it being addicting. But I'm discovering because we are constatly looking to be HAPPY, or be social, or find something that turns a light on in our soul and makes us feel warm inside; we invest all of our time on it. But look... still no happiness. Even with people. I have this one friend, _____________. We talk, we say hi, but you know why I'm friends with _________? Because wanted another one to add to my list. Someone more that I know. The more people I know, the more I socialize, and the more I'm happy, because the more popular I am. But no matter how many times I say hi to ________, I'm still not completley happy. But I know one word that is why I am not happy with these things, it's a common moral throughout time but I think everyone tries to grab it one time or another.

Temporary.

________________, it brings me happiness--- for a little bit of time. Maybe... an hour tops? But not FOREVER. Even if I continue to use _____________ everyday it still is not technically eternal. And that's what we need the most, a happiness that is eternal; not something that comes and goes like rain in the winter. We need something that will not take breaks from making us happy.

But we also need to realize that, no matter how much we want it to be, happiness is not eternal. Joy, yes. Happiness, no. There is a huge distinction. Happy IS temporary, joy is not. THAT's the difference. How do I get joy? Not from _______________ing everyday you don't. Joy is what remains through the thick and through the thin.

You see, I just went through a trial. My __________________ did/ said _________________, and it really affected me in the way ____________ ____________ed. But maybe because of that, I cna see what Joy really is--- being joyful through the hard times and all. What a crazy thought, instead of something cool like my ________________ bringing me happiness, I have a troublesome time bringing me a joy that's eternal instead. And that, I think, is when you see joy is forever--- in the darkest times. It's easier to see the light in the dark than anyplace else. It doesn't come easy of course, but it does come.


Your friend,
