Questions for English

1. What power, if any rules us?
When we wake up in the morning what's the first thing that we do? Its a question that most of us don't even really have to think about. What is it about that moment that starts off one's day that demand one to do on specific thing? Is it that it is what we have always done, or is it that whatever the action is starts the day off on the right foot? People are always using the expression "got up on the wrong side of the bed", but what if its true? One decision, made just at the right time, can change the course of a lifetime. So I think that when one feels a real need to do something, whether it be an almighty power or just a simple habit, one should try to do what they need to.
2. How much control do we have over ourselves?
People often feel, I think, that when they let things go where they may, that things will end up unravelling and getting more complicated then they were at the beginning. Which I can understand on some levels, but for me, I think that the best days of my life have when plans have been ruined and I ended up giving up on trying to fix everything, and let the day take me where it may. When I look back on those days, that was when I was most at peace with the world and I was the most happy. So what I think I have come to love the most about control, is losing it every once in a while!
3. Do we even really know ourselves?
I know my favorite color is blue. I know that I am 17 years old. I know that I love my family and that that is the most important thing for me. I know that I am a hard worker.... I could go on like that for days. Yea, I would like to think that I know myself better then most. But if you were to ask me what it is that I want for my the rest of my life, the only thing that I could tell you without a moments hesitation is a family full of happiness. I know what my beliefs and ideals are, but I also realize that they can change at any moment based on what I live through. So, what I know about myself is that what I know can change at any time.
