Unanswerable Questions

"Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question."

-Tennessee Williams

 

Today, I made a decision completely out of the blue.  I woke up with a distinct desire prodding at my very being like an itch I could not scratch.  It would not evade me, even as I began my hectic day.  For the first time in my life, I had an overpowering longing to start a blog. 

My goal from the start was to focus on life’s everlasting questions.  Every day as I experience everything life has to offer-both the torments and the moments of utter happiness-new questions seem to arise with every fleeting moment.  These questions all have one thing in common: They are all virtually unanswerable.

I will probably never be able to provide an answer to any of these questions that constantly stream through my mind.  However, I will be able to ask them.  Of course, maybe there is no reason to ask a question that has no answer.  Or maybe, just maybe, there is. 

My name is Madison.  I'm sixteen years old and as clueless about life as one can get.  The perpetual list of questions that seem to follow me everywhere I go might never disappear.  I might always be clueless.  But my hope is that as my life progresses and as each new day passes, I'll be a little less clueless than I was the day before.

And so begins my blogging journey-with Question Number One.
