    Sometimes I wonder: is this all that life has to offer?
    It feels like 'I have seen it all, done it all, experienced it all, know it all'.

    What else is there to look forward to but life's ultimate mystery; death?

    I am sure you havent seen it and done it all.
    But yeah, sometimes I wonder the same thing.
    If this is all life has to offer, then life isnt all that great.

    But what if we have taken everything we feel we want and need?

    this doesn't sound like you, bird. surely you of all people would agree that there is always another amazing adventure to be had, another beautiful sight to be seen, another wonderful place to visit?

    Ofcourse I haven't seen and done it all, but that doesn't mean it can't feel like that.

    I dont know...
    Life is depressing and frustrating. Not all the time, but most of it.

    if that's what your life is like, Piaf, you have my sympathy. it is what you make of it, I think. life isn't going to be great by default. happiness is a choice, not an event.

    I completely agree, but fundamentally every adventure and every new place and sight is basically just the same.

    Even the best adventure can still feel like a distant dream the very next day.

    Even the best adventure is nothing but the same old reality in a different setting.

    Life in itself is the same old reality in different settings.

    Yet, that's just something one must accept, and honestly... ignore.

    What if the limit of creativity has been reached?

    The answer for your original post is simple.

    Go outside, and open your eyes.

    I see all these people outside, but their eyes are always closed even though they appear to be open... hurrying to their destination while forgetting to acknowledge the billions of amazing things going on around them.

    What is there to look forward to in life?

    The sun shining on a new day, yummy sushi, good company with good beer, a bike ride, the weekend, a conversation.

    You can easily claim that everything is the same and repeating, but at the same time you can just as easily claim that nothing is the same, that everything changes, and that reality re-invents itself every nano-second, molding itself into something completely new and mysterious.

    Yes, on a human level. Now explain me those things at another one.
