10 things I want to believe

In anticipation of the X-Files: I Want to Believe screening in Manila this August, I would like to share things that I want to believe. Here goes: I want to believe ...

  1. ... that there is life after death. It would be sad if our existence ended here without a happily ever after in some other dimension or plane.
  2. ... that there is a someone out there meant for each and everyone, myself included. It doesn't really matter if she's short, dark, has a large nose, snores louder than I do ... if she's meant for me, she's meant for me.
  3. ... in aliens. I strongly feel that we are not alone in this universe and that somewhere out there are intelligent beings that can zap the life form off us but are too civilized to do so. I just hope I could see one someday in the flesh. Take me with you!
  4. ... in miracles. Somehow, things happen to get me up and going again--unexpected and unexplained things. These small miracles help me survive every day.
  5. ... in karma. This follows Newton's Law (is it Newton?), that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push on a wall, the wall pushes you back in the opposite direction. Same thing in life, if you step on somebody, somehow life has a way of getting back at you. As some friends say, karma is digital (it's quick).
  6. ... that I'll be famous someday. I've always wanted to be a somebody ever since I was young. I think that someday, either my writing, my acting, or something I will be doing will make me a part of history books.
  7. ... that I'll be rich. This goes hand in hand with being famous.
  8. ... that despite the constant changes in life, some things will still remain the same no matter what. These things will include friendships, relationships, and the like.
  9. ... that I will once again be slim. I know it will entail yet more determination on my end, but I know that it will all be worth it. I've been there before and the emotional gratification of being slim after a lifetime of being "cute" is just so immense.
  10. ... that despite things I may have done or will ever do, true friends and family will always be stand by me. Unfortunately, there aren't enough true friends in the world to do that, but I believe some of them still exist.

I think that if you believe in things enough, these things eventually become reality. It's like your mind has some effect on the way things work ... it sort of contributes something to the life force of this earth. This is what you may call faith. Oh, and did I also say that I believe I can be a vampire someday?
