LIfe seems to be boring

I know we supposed to be thankful and cherish things and enjoy and such and such. Just the experience of living has become a fucking drag really. Everything has lot it's excitement. I remember when I was a kid and younger, at least I had some sort of marker points in my life like... you think I'm gonna i don't know, get a car, graduate high school, turn 21, find a wife, experience my first .... insert experience here... these are just generalized things I can think of that people get excited about in life, maybe get married, have a kid, get a degree just things like that.

To me really nothing seems exciting anymore, life has lost it's zest so to speak. i don't know if im just going through a growth period where maybe my values will change and I will find joy in other things but my joy is pretty down lately.

 

You never know what is going to happen. I have felt that way many times - when you least expect it, things change. If you are feeling really down like things are hopeless, you might want to talk with someone about about depression. I'm 45 - sometimes I feel like life has passed me by. But I really think deep down that no matter how old you are you can always figure out a way to change things to make life more interesting. I haven't actually done that, but I do believe it.

 

I've always felt that way dude, it sucks actually.. i have no purpose in life, I never had, so i'm just here killing time

I feel like this quite a bit lately. Maybe it is just a stagnation, perhaps a tinge of regret.
Either way, I keep going. If not live, what else is there to do?

 

Can't do nothin more than to exista nd enjoy it I suppose. Just sometimes I think about how seemingly idk the exact word a combination of silly and pointless lol... all the shit we do in this life is! lol.

 

Dalai Lama says be 'Happy and helpful'.

Because it's going to end means making the most of it even more.

If you're 22 and able bodied you should get on with it cos it's a lot harder to have fun when you're old and disabled.

 

Find something that you love to do. I found I could play music and it has saved me many times when things are looking down. Just find your niche in life, its out there!

 

aw um... I mean the things I like most in life that excite me most are:

Nature / natural remedies / drugs, friends, theology, space and existence... stuff like that.

Isn't life kinda... big and exciting?

 

Maybe I'm a jaded douche but this episode of South Park pretty much sums it all up.

I really don't think it's age.

I mean, look at people like Markus Rothkranz, Raja Ram, Mimi Kirk, tons of people who are reasonable ages and still loving life.

It's about attitude.

I was much more negative back at 22-24 than I am now at 28.

I just... found more that appealed to me in life I guess. Some stuff opened my eyes and made me capable of having more fun and seeing more good stuff

 

It's not really about age...that was just the title of the episode and an excuse for a premise that a lot of people can empathize with.

 

on that note - South Park kicks ass

 

I think it could be seasonal too. I know for me things just feel so disconnected around this time of year.

 

i think somebody has actually coined the term "quarterlife crisis." where you realize you're not a kid anymore and those great experiences are over, yet you still haven't figured out how to enjoy life as an adult.

 

There is a "disorder" called seasonal depression. Lack of light interrupts Seratonin production in the brain. There comes a time in the cycle of seasons when we need to slow down. For me this year it's a little tougher since about 6 weeks ago I got 2 plates and 5 screws put in my wrist. I know this is a temporary situation so it makes it a little easier to deal with.

A strict regime of furious masturbation, pot and or speed should fix most of that.

Reality is just a bunch of chemicals running around your brain anyway....oh, and coffee with butter in it now apparently

 

yeah people haha... ima just enjoy basic things i guess.. good sleep, good food, good friends, romance, music getting high and tripping, music i don't know really thats all i ever have enjoyed so i guess its tright to keep on enjoying it? lol...

i used to be much more involved with shit, like even here, i would be all on hipforums posting and keeping up with it... or playing my guitar, or skateboarding, or my friends/social life... like idk i used to be more involved in my hobbies and stuff than i am now.

 

Well having hobbies and interests definitely helps as does exercise. So why not pick up the guitar and the skateboard again.

Also Rev...yikes, hope you're healing well.

 

I get the cast off Tuesday. Incidentally I got it while skateboarding. So it looks like skateboarding and playing music are off the table for me too.
