Late Night Artist
Well it's past 1am. I'm up blasting music and doing my artwork. I always work best at night. Everything is much more quiet at night and my creative thoughts flow freely. It's not like I have to be up early in the morning during the summer anyway. My brain is being mainly fueled by coffee at the moment. I drink way too much of that stuff. Not really sure why I'm even bothering with this blog. I doubt anyone will read it. I guess that doesn't really matter though. Whatever happens, happens. If I decide that keeping a blog isn't doing anything for me I'll just stop posting. God, I really shouldn't post so late at night, I tend to ramble. I may be better at most varieties of my artwork late at night, but not always writing. I'm just going to shut the hell up now.

Why Hello There.
Hey, My name is Evangeline. I'm starting this blog as a place to voice my thoughts free from judgement. Well sure, if anyone reads this they can judge me, but no one will know who I am. That's the beauty of the internet.
So here's a little bit about myself. I'm really into art and music. Drawing and writing are my main focus in the realm of art but i have dabbled in many different art-forms. My style is dark and artsy, all the black I wear may be a little un-nerving to some people, but truly I'm a very kind person. That being said I can be a bit of a loner sometimes. I have a group of friends that I love dearly, but at times I can also greatly value solitude. Due to some tough circumstances that i have experienced in my life I sometimes struggle with severe depression, but I manage it without any type of drugs or medication. I'm not a big believer in therapy or medication. I think adults are too quick to try and medicate those of my generation, rather than actually listening to us.
I have a lot of opinions and philosophical ideals that many people my age wouldn't agree with or understand. I'm a major pacifist. The idea of war and violence sickens me. The 9/11 terrorist attacks happened when I was in first grade, so I've grown up hearing about the struggles in the Middle East. Seeing humans kill other humans, people who are supposed to be our brothers and sisters, makes me disappointed in the human race. We have such great potential, but we squander it by fighting over things like money and religion. More people have been killed in the name of religion than anything else in history. The thing is that a lot of the major religions are all based upon similar principles, yet people fight over which one is better. Personally I don't believe in any particular higher power. I've tried to, but I just can't. I'm not saying there definitely isn't one, but the truth is that no one can know for sure, so what's the point in arguing about it?
I believe that war should not exist. People need to accept others the way that they are and stop trying to kill off people who are different than them. The world as a whole needs the start practicing tolerance and acceptance. if we don't we will all destroy each other. I know getting the whole world to cooperate and function as a whole is a farfetched idea. It's nearly impossible, but if it doesn't happen the human race will eventually self-destruct.
Okay I'm going to end my ranting here. See, I told you I had some strong and kind of out there opinions for a girl of my age. I doubt that anyone will ever even read this blog, but if anyone does I hope they will leave a comment telling me what they think about what I've said. I'd prefer that anyone leaving a comment be respectful about it, let's not start any arguments.
