    As the title says... what is the point?

    You get up, eat, school, eat, come home, eat, go to bed... and so the cycle continues. I am not depressed at all. I just thought about it.

    To try to make something meaningful out of what can be a very mundane existence.

    I'd like to know the answer to that question myself.

    I have a few more in between moments than just eating, sleeping, or school/work.
    Find something/someone you love. That is your reason to get up in the morning.

    hobbies, children, significant others, family, things they can make, friends, theres so much to enjoy everyday. thats the point of getting up in the morning. if you feel like you just wake up, eat, then go to bed, you need to find more things to appreciate in life. maybe go to some places, meet some ppl, or work on your hobbies.

    If nothing really matters, why bother?

    Yeah all that stuff matters. Friends; family; a girl who adores me; my two dogs and cat who treat me like their personal god (well the dogs do anyway, the cat just does as he pleases).

    I guess it all matters at an emotional level but at some other level it feels like nothing matters at all. I don't know if that makes sense to you at all. I can see why it wouldn't.

    Sometimes I wish those people who love me would just let me die in peace so I could finally get some peace.

    That's just my take on it. I have to wonder if the OP feels the same way, at least in parts if not all. But considering the OP said "I'm not depressed at all" I doubt it.

    The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Figure out what matters to you and do that. Sure youre bound in many ways by the system, but this can be worked around with enough strength. Everyones here for a reason and if you listen deep inside youll know it. If you cant hear anything, just relax and let it flow and live for all the joyful moments and miracles for a while until a revelation or 2 comes

    the reason to get up in the morning is to find the reason for getting up in the morning.
    life isn't about being happyhappy all the time, it's about the search for love and peace and happiness -- and everything in between.
    life is beautiful, even when (maybe especially when) it's not perfect.

    My problem is love doesn't provide peace (quite the opposite actually) and because of that the love can only lead to happiness half way.

    loving yourself always provides peace. :]
    loving somebody else, not always.

    but what I really meant is that it's all about getting there and what happens from point a to point b. the search for peace and love and happiness is what it's all about.

    Apparently not in my case stalk. For me love is internal conflict.

    That's more along my line of thinking.
