i don't think i know what life is about anymore

I concur.... u cant sweat it......

 

well i disagree that life is pointless



i also disagree that life has just one point or one meaning



however these are not what i'm discussing




i'm simply stating "what is life about?" i seem to have forgotten
what does it consist of, what is there to do?
how do you make it good, how can you make it bad?
how do you repair something when it's broke, or how do you prevent something from breaking?



of course there's no ONE answer for any of this
but that's the point
as each ONE of us does not comprise ONE entity




sure, why not

 

I guess u just gotta do as much and see as much as possible so when your laying on your death bed u can say I did it all I seen it all and it was all my way and to be happy with that and curious at whats after life

 

I love you


Maybe that's what it's about, at least for some folks. Love, connection, human ties. It can help. Makes me less depressed when I have regular human contact rather than holing myself up in my room (which of course I want to do when I'm down, self perpetuating cycle)

 

haha, i'm just a room-body
i need to be a non-room-body

i just stay in here, and i don't do anything

this is obviously my problem, i need to get out and do stuff
this place is still just new, i've gotta get comfortable with it
it's just not gonna happen if i don't get out


also i realized i have nothing to be proud of
meaning, i don't do anything of talent

i have talent....(a little bit) but i for some unknown reason refuse to show it

i've basically stopped writing (well, i've started up recently, but i'm horrible now)
i stopped drawing, so whatever i draw these days is crap
and i just don't play my guitar enough, like i should



i want to feel accomplished
but i have to accomplish something first

 

Sometimes you've just got to strangle people.

I wish this thread was here a long time ago..


I had to figure this stuff out the hard way...

 

don't we all?

 

i feel the exact same way...i need to do something drastic to help move my life along otherwise whats the point... i'm stuck doing nothing...i need to do something...if you figure something out let me know

 

It seems like the only people that ask these kind of questions are people like....us. But at the same time, we do have the most interesting answers. (I'm talking about Hippies in case no one caught on. <.<) Anywho, I think the best thing to do is make memories, to make life better do what you love and improve what you can. Leave your mark. Do something crazy, risk your life, save someone's, live in a commune for a few years! I've got a gazillion things I want to do in life, that's almost as bad as not knowing what to do. XD I'd make a list of all the things you want to accomplish in life. Start doing them now, when you look back be proud of yourself, and just keep adding to the list. You'll find your way. Most importantly, live for no one else. Do what you want to do, and never conform because you were considered "strange". Being strange is a gift. I think the reason movies and television are so popular is because so many people have the ability to act. They just never act like themselves....make sure when someone sees you, they see your soul. *shrugs* That's all I got.

 

yeh thats a good idea, i like this answer

 

Haha thanks...I try!

 

The point in life is to collect capture those perfectly contented moments; what exactly they are varies from person to person. They can range from a triumphant game-winning goal, climbing a mountain during a thunderstorm, that feeling you get riding an open-top boat, smoking a cigarette and reading hemingway, etc. Like I said, they vary.

The point is they can't be habitual, and they can't be faked. Cocaine feels like it, but without any of the moral substance.

At any rate, I'm about to go drink wine with a girl who just got off work, in a little flat above a resteraunt. She has a big collection of records and a nice roof-top patio.

Later y'all.

 

i must say that you are describing my feelings as well. i feel pretty lost. i'm not sad, not angry; just kinda upset. i want to use the word "lonely" but i don't think that applies either. i actually feel ok, but something's still wrong...

 

i met God this weekend


i think that's good enough for me, for these days
