The Evolution of My Thoughts 

Why is it bright? What is that smell? Why does it hurt? Why are they touching me? Where am I? What do they need? What are they thinking? When will I be warm? What are these shadows? Why are they moving so quickly? Where are these noises coming from? When will it stop?
How old am I? How do I spell my name? What is good? What is bad? What is happy? What are words? Why does everything need to be identified by words? Why are mom and dad leaving? When will they be home? Where is my home? What is my address? Who’s my best friend? What do they think of me? Will I fit in? How do I tie my shoes? Will I ever learn? Do I like sports? Will I excel in sports?  Will my parents be proud?
Where do I want to be in five years? Where will I end up? Where will I live? Will I have a partner? Will I ever get married?  How do I know you? Where did I meet you? Do you think I’m attractive? Am I attracted to you? What is sexuality? What is my sexuality? Why do I feel like this? Does anyone else feel like this? Is this normal? Do they think I am normal? Why do I question myself so much? Will he call me? Will he text me? Does he care? Why do I care so much? 
What are they wearing? Where did they get it? Do they think they look good? Do I look good? Why are we here? Will anyone notice that I am here? Why is there a never-ending need for answers and solutions? Why do we pay so much attention to superficial and materialistic items?  Why are people greedy?
Why is death called death? Why are people so afraid of the word and its meaning? Why isn’t it called cleansing? Why does the word bear positive and negative meanings, depending on its context? For that matter, why is anything bad for you if ultimately, everyone’s fate is the same? How long will I live? How will I die? Will I be buried or cremated? What is religion? Which religion do I conform to? Do people use religion as a vehicle to explain the unexplainable? What do I believe in? What is faith? Why aren’t there definite answers? Why are people pushing this? Where do we come from? Why do we care? What’s next? What is fear? Why do we live in fear of the inevitable?
Why are we named? Why do we have numbers attached to our identity? Why are people judgmental? Why are people insecure? Why did she tell her that? Will she find out? What is wrong? Why do we read? Why do we retain information? Is it to learn? Is it to transform? Is it to shape?  Is it to evolve? Why help others? Why not be kind to everyone? Why not love? Why kill? Why guns? Why violence? Is it not natural? Why do some feel this urge and others do not? Who’s to blame? Is it simply nature’s fault? Is it the doing of a higher power? Does it matter? Doesn’t everything share the same fate? Does anything happen when you die? Do I return to the Earth as a different being? Will I come back as dirt? Will my decedents live on top of me? Will they know I am there?
  Why do people deny the reality of global warming? Why don’t they open their eyes? Why don’t people listen to the research scientists? Are they just ignorant? Are they less developed? Are they afraid? Why wouldn’t they care? Why should they care? Will life continue to diversify anyways? Will there be another Ice Age? Will the continents reconfigure into another supercontinent? Will humans continue to exist? Will they be like us? Will they fly throughout the universe? Will they live on different planets? Will Earth ever be destroyed? Will Earth ever be uninhabitable? Will any one challenge my ideas? Will I be swayed? Will I learn? Will I develop? Will I evolve? What about humanity? Will life begin a different cycle? Will it implode all together?
