So the question remains: do we see mystery and wonder, and just walk on by? Or is it hard for us to see? If it is hard for us to see, if it really is hidden -- why? Or, of course: is it just not there?
I see the mystery. I see the beauty. It's hard for most of us to see the beauty in things. It's not hidden -- it's right in front of our noses. Even in large cities, you can find beauty. Even buildings can be beautiful, and human-made art is beautiful in many cases. Beauty is always there.
Something that you could never live without.
Should animals be treated like humans, like those mega-pampered pooches?
The best summer of your life.
I'm going to change "Something that you could never live without" to "Someone you could never live without". Because I can. Live with it. Anyway, the person I could definitely never live without is my best friend, Griselda! We're the perfect pair. :P And she's there for me whenever I need it. Unfortunately, she doesn't pay attention enough. -.- I'll be walking right by her and she won't notice me. Ugh. Annoying. But anyway, it's hard to imagine what life would be like without her. I've slept over at her house more than I have anybody else's. :P And she'll listen to what I say and won't judge me (unless we're joking around or it's really really disturbing). She's also one of those people who maybe won't say a certain thing herself, but doesn't mind when you say it. For example, "Oh my God". She says that, but (no offense to anyone in this class who may have this view), I don't get it when people think it's taking God's name in vain. It's not; trust me. Anyway, off-topic mini-rant. But yeah, she's my absolute best friend, and I can't imagine what would've happened if I hadn't met her in 7th grade. She's a year older than I am, so if I had waited just a year's time, she would've been out and in high school, and I would've been left with no best friend (due to the fact that my other best friend moved away).

Answer to #10: Negativity
In this entire entry, I risk sounding (am going to be) over-dramatic and verbose, but this is just the way I feel.
Many of us are horrible. Many human beings, not necessarily of a certain age or race. All of us as a whole.
Most humans could care less about things that matter, that are needed to better our world. But all we do is sit in front of our televisions and computers, and block out the world, with not a single glance back. I admit to almost being one of these people; I care about the world, I would love to do something, anything, for it, but I don't have the means to accomplish anything significant.
"One person can change the world." I believe this, but is this one person myself? Or anyone I know of, really? No, because we are all just going to sit back in our computer chairs and relax on our couches because we don't have anything to worry about. Oh no, the children in Africa have things to worry about, the starving and homeless, even the people whose lives have been affected by war; they all have something to worry about, while the rest of us sit down at our posh jobs and live our everyday lives. Not a care in the world... or is the correct term "not a care about the world"?
As for our country, its just rotten to the core. America is the most lavish, extravagant country in the world. Eventually... we'll just kill ourselves.
Nothing is going right in the world at the moment. Poor people are getting poorer, the rich richer, the hungry and alone are dying. We don't even care about our own kind, for god's sake!
I promised myself, that as I grow older, I would do something, anything, to help this planet... I don't even see how that could happen anymore. If the world as we know it is going to end in 2012... I don't even know. Even if this horrible event that philosophers and soothsayers predicted hundreds of years ago never happens, what are we to do? Sit there and cower in our basements until we're sure nothing is going to happen? And what of those without shelter? What are they to do? Wait for the inevitable?
Sorry, lost track of my point for a moment there... anyway, the future holds nothing for us. We're as good as dead. I can only hope that I'm not here at the downfall of the human race.
