Searching for truth

Life is a mass of lies, no matter where you turn or who you come into contact with, you can never be certain whether you can trust them or not, or trust yourself for that matter. Seemingly this is a result of numerous failed marriages in the lives of both of my parents, or my own hideous attempts at soul searching. In either regard, Journalists set out to sort through the lies, through the deceit and get straight to the facts, exposing others while being able to express themselves at the same time. For this reason I am pursuing this lifestyle, attempting to shed light on the truth when there may very well no longer be any out there.

Along the way I anticipate being able to learn new things, whether it be about other people, cultures or even lifestyles. I expect that Interviewing from a journalistic perspective will get me to that point. Travel will be inevitable, an aspect I appreciate greatly within my life, which if opportunity arises I am certainly not one to pass it up. Yet I know that no matter where I end up in this world, or when I arrive, there will be a dumpster full of deceit for me to sort through.
