I don't wanna have to have to do things..

[Penny]

..it's so depressing.

[WanderingSoul]

I wanna do things... but only what I wanna do.

[Penny]

yeah, me too.

I hate responsibilities.

[WanderingSoul]

I like having little responsibilities. But I hate having to be responsible for stuff I don't care about.

[Penny]

I hate having to deal with paperwork. And immigration stuff. And banks. And money. And work.

I often wanna ditch everything to go live in a New-Age commune, change my name, change my life..

I can't say I make easy life choices. I must be masochistic.

[indian~summer]

sorry things are sucking laety
sounds like no fun dealing with all the legal shit
you should just come to canada, they'll let anyone in :)

i think right now the only thing i want to do is dig a hole, and lay in it until the world changes

[Duck]

any things?
doing nothing can seem quite a lot more depressing to me

[Penny]

that sounds like a really good idea.. maybe I'll join you in your hole, so you don't get bored!

[Penny]

any things?

but it's not about doing nothing.. just nothing you HAVE to do..

[Arlandis]

i dont want to do things either :(


I graduated school in 2006 and had all of 2007 off cuz i had an operation

and just got into the habit of doing nothing all day :(

now Im starting Uni in Feb and have responsibilities again :( I dont like it :(

[Duck]

but it's not about doing nothing.. just nothing you HAVE to do..In that case, I'm joining.
Fuck growing up :(

[Penny]

yeah.. I wanna be 4 years old right now. forever.

[Mrs.Krinkle]

Yea I feel you guys. I just turned 18 yesterday. At first I was excited... but thinking about its like... damn...

[Penny]

yeah.. growing up is wonderful.. but if it didn't mean RESPONSIBILITIES... ugh

I wish I had someone in my life to share all the responsibilities with.. because alone.. I don't think I'm gonna manage. I wish I had someone so we would have all the shit to do cut in half, and.. going through life as hard as it is with all this shit you always have to do.. being two could make it.. more simple.. less WE HATE IT and more HHHHHA it's OKAY.. know what I mean? because dealing with life by yourself.. alone.. kinda makes you wanna jump in the lake with a ball and chain.

[Duck]

*cringes at mention of that nasty Rword*

[indian~summer]

the hole thing is definitely got some advantages
bring me some booze and i'll mix cocktails for everyone until the world changes

[Unknown American]

Life is not as hard as you think it is. I do feel for you though. Been there myself at times in my life.

Perhaps the answers are closer than you think...

[Penny]

hah.. the answer.. but to what question? heheh..

[Unknown American]

The question depends on what you want. Do you really want someone to take care of you?

Or are you just overwhelmed by the current circumstances?

The fact is you could easily get someone to take care of you.

If you are just frustrated, take hart...things will get better.

[Penny]

nah I don't want anyone to take care of me. I just think it's less depressing if you're not alone.. if.. someone's there to listen to you, talk to you.. even just go with you to the bank.. I like taking care of my shit and other people's shit too. it's just that.. being alone.. in overwhelming situations like now.. it's hard. I don't want anyone doing it for me.. I don't need a father figure, for example.. like a guy older than me and more matture who's gonna be there for me and me.. hah what will I have left to do? that's not who I am - we talked about it with my therapist: I like the illusion of being taken care of, but I wanna take care of myself, myself. I know, it's complicated.

I know, it's complicated.Well I imagine if you had someone to take care of you, you could pretty much concentrate on your goals and learning. Without worrying about the problems of citizenship or anything else.


I pretty much expected you were just frustrated with things. But we all have options in life.

Like I said things will generally get better. Just do not let it get you down.:)

Nothing you said here is complicated. Life just gets annoying sometimes.

I am sure you will find a way to do what you want to do in life.

[myself]

I hate paperwork too. Papers I am always being asked for, all the time. Copies, legalized copies, originals... files and files...

[myself]

..it's so depressing.
You are sooo right. I just felt this way a few days ago. Too much work to do at work... *sigh* Not that I'm lazy, but it was really too much...

[Michael Savage]

I doubt I'm telling you anything you don't already know, but...the "good life" is made up of nothing more than a certain amount of moments - great moments that you learn to recognize and appreciate as time goes on. These moments are what makes life worth living, and what lets you know you're alive!

In pretty much everyone's life, however, these moments have lots of boring and unpleasant and even depressing ones in between. I recently read something (so you know it's true) that had to do with some study. Basically it compared the lives of people who claimed to be happy, and people who claimed to be unhappy and depressed. Both groups had an identical amount of negative experiences on a daily basis. But the difference in the "truly happy" group was that they had more gratifying experiences in between. It also concluded how important it is to be able to appreciate these moments! I'm sure you know what I mean.

Best wishes.

^ do you remember where you read this or any other detail that I could use to find it?

I would really like to check that out.

Actually yeah. I read it in an issue of Good Housekeeping (it was somebody else's and I only borrowed it because I had nothing else to read on the train, honest!). I do remember that it was a recent issue that had a famous country singer and his wife and newborn son on the cover.

I don't really remember anything more specific than what I've already posted though...sorry.
