My brother is in the ICU of a hospital in Biloxi, MS.  He’s getting better, and I don’t really understand what happened except for that it was pretty bad.  It was a result of a few surgeries he had a few years ago that he needed these surgeries now to save his life.  I feel very blessed that he is still with us.
I was having a bad stomachache two days ago, and they must have been sympathy pains.  It just shows that two people from the same womb have connections deeper than speech, since we don’t talk often. 
I’m sick today, and perhaps that is why I’m stricken with this conscious thought. 
Everything that currently happens is a reflection of the past because experiences do repeat themselves.  Dreams repeat themselves often, as well, only in several different versions since it is unique to have the exact same dream several times over.  I, myself, admit to having this happen very closely on the mark, but know that it is a fluke.  My dreams are acid trip dreams, and I think understanding my dreams is the key to understanding everything that has happened to me, is happening to me, and will happen to me. 
I have moments where I understand that I am not like the person sitting next to me.  It’s not just something I think is true because I am a teenager, because physically I am different.  Mentally I am different.  Everyone that knows me jokes about how I must have been alien born.  My dreams have something to do with it. 
But, even if I could find teh easy route and say "Yes, I want to know what I’m here for" I wouldn’t.  Because truly I am no different than the person sitting next to me.  Our souls are identical, and if they don’t deserve to know, I don’t deserve to know.
So many years ago, I was such a different person than I am now.  I can promise you I didn’t understand that fact, what it was like to be different but the same, and honestly I don’t understand what made me leap over teh knowledge barrier. 
Truly, I’m not sure what I’m even saying, except for that there is so much out there in this world. 
There are whole WORLDS out there that half the people in America don’t realize exist. 
And, like me, perhaps it is just best to leave them undiscovered.
Because that is where they will do the most good, undiscovered, and unprohibited. 
Difference is like a plague, and the human race instinctively fears the unknown.  I know I do. 
But it is within the unknown where all of our answers lie.

Great last line. Definitely I have similar thoughts. I know I don’t belong or feel “OF” this world, but I persevere nonetheless always on the search for a deeper meaning to life, but try to ground myself by LIVING FOR THE MOMENT as the Hardys say. I truly try to. I want to be happy & enjoy life, who knows how long we are here for. Different is good & if the answers are not while we live, it’s cool

You gotta enjoy life while you can & try to make the most out of it. I truly hope I am reading the last & worst of your brother’s ailments. How old is he? One of the worst feelings in the world is seeing family members, the ones you are closest to & Love the most—in pain. It’s a helpless & horrible feeling knowing you can’t do much. I hate that. I wish I could do something, ya know. All you

can do is love & pray for them & support them & help them in any way, even in small ways. & I have weird dreams, too. I like to jot down stuff, because I think I leave a lot of creative abstract ideas & thoughts in dream & sometimes may even have better ideas in dreams than when I’m awake. lol. As weird as that sounds. Dreams are a key to something, that’s for sure. Where Our deepest secrets lie
