Do you ever feel like one day you just woke up and were in some sort of alternate universe? Its exactly like the old one...only different.
You're sitting in the car with friends riding to a party. Its exactly the same kind of music you liked in the old universe, only you've never heard of any of these bands, and the lyrics are just slightly different.
Just like the old universe only different. Instead of your party being entertained by a charismatic T.J. its entertained with the engaging stories from V.J. And instead of T.J. having an afro, V.J. has dreads.
But something else is just a little off in this parallel universe. Something's different and you can't quite touch on it exactly. You still got a group of friends around you--its just a different group of friends.
There's more hugs. And everyone considers themselves like family to each other. Lonliness--even when you are by yourself--is just completely unheard of. You're never fighting the world on your own--you got powerful allies on your side.
But it looks just like the old universe. There's still all those social events and hanging out. Just more...purpose.
So that's pretty much been my week. Wait, is this my life? It certainly feels like that possibility exists that I woke up in someone else's life...that's just like my own, but not. Is this really *my* life? Wait, I guess it is--and I'm not complaining

I wrote this journal entry based on thoughts I had riding in the car one day coming back from a social event. It was written as a comparison between what it was like in the newfound "christian world" versus the previous "unsaved world", and how much sometimes life just seemed the same as its always been, only just a little "off" in a way that's difficult to pinpoint. But it seems so similar to before that you momentarily wonder, "did I slip into some sort of Twilight-Zone-Like alternate reality?"
