I’m 21 years old and I’m graduating in 2 months. I’ve been thinking a lot about free will. It feels like I’m finally entering a phase of life where the whole world is mine, and I can do anything. I can BE anything.

I’ve been trying to start reading books again. When I was in high school, I usually just read Sparknotes instead and somehow made it through all my English classes with good grades. The one book I did read though is a play called Arcadia by Tom Stoppard.

“If you could stop every atom in its position and direction, and if your mind could comprehend all the actions thus suspended, then if you were really, really good at algebra you could write the formula for all the future; and although nobody can be so clever to do it, the formula must exist just as if one could.”

I think about this quote a lot.
