Secret #1:
There you go. I really am a whack job. Go ahead and stop talking to me now.
Seriously though. If you have ever done any reading about the end times you might be a tad on the freaked out side right about now too. Some of the signs of the end times are disease, famine, war, economic crash, and natural disasters such as flooding and earth quakes. Yeah, yeah, there have always been those kinds of things going on. However, maybe it is just me but there seems to be a lot more than usual of these things happening. Further, many people have confessed to me lately that everything seems to be more messed up and sad then usual as of the last few months, and I agree with them.
If all of that wasn't enough to scare the shit out of whacked out, paranoid me then there is this. I have been having detailed, horrifying dreams about the end times in the last few weeks. After one particularly horrible night of these dreams I told Scott about them. Scott knows a lot more about what the end times are supposed to be like than me, and he casually mentioned that as the end times approach certain people who are "in tune" to these things will begin having dreams which will show these people what the end times are going to be like.
Oddly enough, having the world come to an end does not particularly scare me. If anything I find comfort in it knowing that I would be able to die along with my family. What does scare me is all of the awful crap that is supposed to happen as our days on this earth come to and end. And I am not scared for myself, per say, but instead I am scared for my children.
Of course, I really hope that I am wrong. I probably am. That isn't going to stop me from counting down the days to December 21, 2012, the last day on the Mayan calendar and by some accounts, the last day of the Earth as we know it. Hopefully I will wake up on December 22, 2012 and be able to breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Now yer just freakin' me out. I have thought about the 2012 thing, too, and it makes me sad for the kiddos. I was actually a bit disappointed personally that the world didn't end at y2k. All that plague and natural disasters shit doesn't sound so great, though. I know nothing about the end days. And the only dream I remember recently involved a female co-worker growing a beard, and another female co-worker complaining that it was pretty patchy! I usually have very vivid dreams, but that would involve actually sleeping...sigh
I'm not sure about the 2012 thing, but I have had similar thoughts recently. With all the crises, disasters and so many innocent people dying. I'm feeling rather gloomy and worried recently.

I could have written this post! I feel the exact same way. I feel that we are in the end times but it doesn't really scare me. There is never the promise of tomorrow for any of us. What does scare me is the possibility of dying young, leaving my children alone.
