Existentialism: It is a part of philosophy that means finding the
self and the meaning of life through free will, personal
responsibility and of choice. It's belief is that people search to
find who and what they are, throughout life as they make their choices
which are based on their experiences, beliefs, and outlooks.

I belive that I am looking more in depth about life by using whats
around me to make sensible and logical answers. These opinions are
based apon beliefs and outlooks from experiences. I am finding more
about myself from being with different people, learning, and from
other encounters. I also believe that everyone learns something from
the choices they make such as responsibility. I feel that I am an
existentialist in all these ways.

Kendall -

Great job on getting on the website and getting your first post up.
I'm excited to hear more from you!

Existentialism isn't only about getting to know yourself, but about
taking responsibility for your life. There are two feelings about
this - one is that you're completely free because your life is
completely yours, and the other is that it's a huge task to take on
that existence. Which is more real for you?
